Hey do I know anyone that is able to sniff out whether something on LinkedIn is legit or too good to be true? I've never had a recruiter reach out to me and I just want to make sure I'm encountering something legit.

The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

But I need folks to understand that if they can see themselves in Alex Pretti or Renee Good, and they haven't been able to see themselves in Philando Castille or Breonna Taylor?
If it feels different, now?
I need you to examine that.
It's not an accusation. I'm glad you're here with us now.

Hey. You can get through this. People have been living under authorities like this for 100s of years, and have been breaking through them just as long.
Feel every emotion.
And then pick one small action item you’re going to do to fix it.
Then when you’re ready, start making those calls.

I wrote "Caged" about some of my experiences growing up.
You can get it free from my Itch, but if anyone sees this and is interested in throwing money at the game, please use my KoFi store because I don't actually like Itch. 😅
