"I was 8 years old the first time my mother told me she was going to kill herself."
I was 8 years old the first time my mother told me she was going to kill herself. Born to loving parents who had been married for nine years and growing up in an idyllic Maryland suburb outside Washington D.C., I got a solid start in life.

"Uncertain times" doesn't necesarily have to mean uncertainty in your career!
If you've received an email since March of this year, there's a good chance it began with the following salutation: "Hello _____! Hope you're doing well in these uncertain times…" "Uncertain times," isn't that the understatement of the century?
Anyone else working with a resume gap? This may be just the advice you need!
Women all across the country have had analogous experiences, and it comes down to a variety of pregnancy discrimination. If I close my eyes and pretend, I can see exactly what (wrongly) makes you an "unattractive candidate." They look at your resume and what do they see?

Making friends as an adult is hard, but this helpful can make it a bit easier!
Finding friends as an adult can be hard or easy; by the time you reach your 30s, most of us know our preferences and aren't afraid to act on those preferences. On the other hand, it can be harder to find friends as an adult for the same reason. The pool of potential friends becomes much narrower.

"They had the same path as me. And yet, I am nowhere near them. Not as far as money. Not as far as job opportunities. Nowhere close to it [...] If there's no one like me, you think I'm that.. you pay me what I'm worth. Give me what I'm worth." — Viola Davis (@violadavis).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This clip recently resurfaced of @violadavis in an interview, speaking on her experience with racial wage gaps and systemic issues within the #entertainment industry. And while this interview is from 2018, it is still just as relevant now and as it was then.
