It can get disheartening when you work a creative service that doesn’t receive immediate results. Digital marketing and other administrative positions typically don’t result in immediate sales but they build your help brand and support customer service. What do you do to get over this hump?

Who else never seems to use their planners fully? Sometimes we just need to see a monthly overview and other times we need to organize our days by the hour. I’ve created some printable planners to help us stay focused on what we need at the time we need it! See link in bio.

#Repost @moemotivate It felt off when I woke up to see so many black squares. After reading more, I saw that it’s this whole social media movement that misses the whole point of the power & purpose of social media especially during this crisis. No, we don’t need to be silent for a day.... No, we certainly don’t need to flood the Black lives Matter hashtags w/ black squares, which are then erasing & making it harder for us to find important news & info about this revolution. But just like I wrote yesterday about white tears centering whiteness & being performative, this too is another antic that is performative. What exactly is it going to do for Black lives to post a black square on social media? Nothing helpful for Black lives. But it will surely send off some virtue signaling for the white folks who are doing this. Instead amplify the voices of Black womxn...now is not the time, more than ever, to be silent. Reading @feministajones book about the power of social media & how it aids in the civil rights movement of our time has really helped me better understand the effectiveness of social media in our fight for justice. If it weren’t for social media, most of us wouldn’t even know George Floyd’s name. And it’s powerful hashtags like #sayhername by @kimberlecrenshaw that bring crucial awareness to the Black womxn who have been murdered by the hands of white supremacy, but often we rarely hear about it. Social media is a powerful tool of activism when it’s done well, but when not it can cause more harm than good. The black squares w/ hashtag Black Lives Matter are erasing the necessary & vital messages of this movement. This is not helpful. This does not help us stand in solidarity w/ Black lives, this is interfering w/ the fight & leaving Black lives in continued danger. If you must participate in the black squares then do so without the Black Lives Matter Hashtag. But instead, consider asking yourself this question, particularly if u hold white privilege.. What can I do TODAY to stand in solidarity w/ Black lives in a tangible way? (Hint: make calls, send money, send resources, protest (with a mask and without instigating), etc. Silence is violence even when it’s trendy.
