ATasteOfFlava| The Landlord Walk Through
Six bags of laundry. A sparkling clean bathroom. A mysterious box demolition project. An electric scrub brush that earned Employee of the Month.

RealTalk| What We Post On Social Media
Think before you post. A recent video showed a young woman being terminated on her very first day of work before she was even allowed to clock in. The reason? A social media post she had made that did not align with the company’s values. For years, employers have reviewed social media profiles, online activity,…

RealTalk|People Will Try to Put You in a Box
People will try to figure you out… and put you in a box that makes sense to them. I used to explain myself. Now I don’t. I know who I am. That’s enough.

RealTalk|Talking The Talk
Some people can talk about it all day… plan it, rework it, and start over again. But nothing moves. At some point, you have to ask— are you building something… or just talking about it? Because real change doesn’t come from ideas. It comes from action.
