Most Black folks knew this nonsense was coming. It's wrong, but we've always had to hustle, so I feel like collectively we'll be all right. But I also can't help thinking that a whole lot of white people, deprived of the "DEI" excuse, are about to get a wake-up call about their own mediocrity.

Hey all.
As work continues to dwindle, I’m looking to submit portfolio samples to some Irish, Scottish, German, French and Italian art directors.
If you have any leads or suggestions you’d be willing to share, you’re welcome to DM me with any info.
Thanks a ton.

I just remembered!

I made SO MANY children laugh! I made people smile. I made people feel loved and safe. I really tried.

My life meant something.

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️

The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion.
When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!
