Idk. She has a degree in health admin, why couldn’t she host a cute Q&A ?😭 . Talk about actual policies….weave health into it. It would’ve elevated her a bit.
And before yall come attacking me lol I’m not blaming Meg at all. This was more of a critique on Kamala’s team. I understand the task to appeal to young black voters, but there’s layers to both the performers and clearly the audience.
With the very limited time we have….how do we integrate policies and understanding across all touchpoints? I’m not saying things can’t be FUN, but how can we think BIGGER about integration?
I also work in global media strategy, so the way I think about the impact of media on diverse audiences is very much so analytical. Hate that for me 😖.
@duffthebrand
I’m not upset with Meg, like at all. I’m actually critiquing Kamala’s team. Meg is such a talented person, they couldve built something bigger around her. Thats all. Also, I’m young too, tf! Lol
@wtfisakels
People who get it, get it. She’s more than a rapper. She is capable of showing more layers. I don’t blame her at all though, this isn’t a miss on her part.
I made this commercial happen. My Debut commercial as the ONLY black woman at my company, making a commercial with the 1st black woman to host a national show on ESPN. The 1st WNBA player to do so. And the first NBA commentator to do so while simultaneously playing in the WNBA.
@shaddaee
No shit. She’s more than a rapper though. Just like you’re more than an attorney. There’s layers to ppl, and imo (which I’m allowed to express) it wasn’t the time for this.
@SimflowerBuilds
The ask isn’t for them to be politicans. The ask is for them to be normal people, like they were before the fame. Like I said in previous comments, people are more than their jobs. It’s okay to celebrate that. Meg is super talented, and Kamala’s team could’ve baked this out more
This right here. Just secured a job in tech and I’m here to stay. I graduated with an advertising/marketing.
Tech is literally apart of every industry - including creative verticals like Fashion, Music, Film, and Sports.
You gotta be fine with ppl not checking on you so often right now. Give ppl space to be alone and deal with their anxiety, stress, solitude without you.
Oh another thing. I’m not engaging with people who simply hate Meg. That’s not my motive, or what I’m about. I’m simply critiquing the strategy in how she’s been integrated thus far. Read my responses to my comments. Keep it P.
Not really sure why ppl are attacking her for simply educating us, on how to take care of our hair. Her curls are damaged, and she gave alternatives on how to avoid. Lets say thank you and move on!
We recently talked about the dangers of constantly pulling your hair back. Here’s an example of what mechanical damage looks like. This client has no chemical treatments or regular straightening, just constant ponytails bc of work. Gotta find alternatives.
Had a call with the head of my office. He admitted my email triggered him, and he realized his eyes were covered. He thanked me for being me. We had a 30min conversation that ended with him asking of local organizations in my community the COMPANY can donate to. This is impact.
I’ve been working on meditating and self-actualization. Got promoted to Senior Sports Executive status today, & made the final round of an elite MBA program. I encourage everyone to do some inner work. I struggle with imposter syndrome but I’m constantly showed how great I am.
Still can’t believed I was offered a D&I leadership position over the entire Midwest/Southwest regions. I’ll have direct access to CEOs to speak about employee development. Pretty cool for 25.
Anthony Davis stands by Chicago being the Mecca of Basketball: “It is. We’ve got the best basketball players ever. You look at the history with all the guys we’ve got that made the league and even the guys that didn’t make the league. They say New York, but it’s not even close.”

Still push on this, as black ppl tend to still get paid less. There’s also other items to negotiate outside of salary compensation: additional sick days, PTO days, professional development conference tickets, cellphone/WiFi bill coverage.
Being Black, from the hood AND from Chicago is tough. We all know multiple people who’ve lost their lives to gun violence. Our city has caused us so much trauma 😭😭😭😭
The Fenty hair vs. Cecred takes about to begin in a couple weeks 😩. Watch the influencers switch up.
Beyoncé might have to hop heavily in her content creator bag, cuz Rihanna is not gonna play.
I hate how racism destroys lives. I don’t understand how you wake up and decide to kill people, because of the color of their skin. It’s mental illness.
This year was cool. Became the first black woman to help manage a Fortune 500 account at my sports firm. Made a lot of connections in the industry, and I’m excited to see manifest in 2020. Next year I’m anticipating even more change, so I’m reminding myself of where I’ve came.
Got some good news today. Waitlisted for a top MBA program, and will know their final decision in a couple weeks. Based off the number of applications they receive each year, it’s quite the accomplishment to make it this far. Proud of me 💕
Torrence was always a ball of light. Always cracking jokes and had so so so much charm. Chicago is truly a sick city. Losing your life over shoes is sick.
I pitched an idea to a major sports brand maybe like 6 months ago. I get a text from the HEAD saying my pitch idea has aged well, and that my campaign is looking better and better. The visions that God gives me be so clear.
So you choose to endorse PV over someone who currently lives on the westside, has a degree in youth development, and has done grass roots work? And, CTU wouldn’t be as bad if PV wasn’t the CEO for 6yrs - he’s failed black kids in every CEO position he’s had.
I think its amazing that my high rise condo face the westside - my hood. I wake up everyday and I’m reminded that I’ve made it this far and its just the beginning.

I’ve been to several pep rallies. I attended one of the top schools in the country. We had tons of fun, but there were segments of it that were serious. I don’t see why it couldn’t be both here - esp with the time left. I’m also not blaming Meg, moreso the people who booked her.
I just had a bad meeting. Somehow I froze when I started speaking. I cried after, because I’ve never really had a bad one before - ever. Called a couple ppl and I feel so much better. Just gotta make sure I’m better next time.
Today was cool. Had an interview for a job I didn’t apply to. The SVP and Director called me based off someone passing my name & very old resume around the office (and i didn’t ask them to). Relationships with people are important.
What really bothers me is older corporate folk telling our generation to just “play the game”, instead of changing it for us. Ppl be in positions of power & influence, and still don’t take a radical approach. Idk. I can’t wait until its my turn fr. We need better mentors.
I’m gonna be more hands off with ppl in the new year. I can’t try to fix everything, or over extend myself anymore. If I feel like helping or sharing ideas I will, if not I just gotta pray that people are capable of figuring it out.
I was in the office today, and the Black service workers were shocked I spoke to them. I told them I’m kinfolk. Sad to hear their experience with other Black ppl isn’t the same. I made their day, and now I’m going to do something to change this.
As someone who has a speech impediment (stuttering), I truly hate public speaking. I’ve spent so many hrs practicing speaking that ppl hardly detect it - its only an issue when I’m really nervous. This is my biggest achievement to date. I want to give a Ted Talk one day.
I left my card at home and Apple Pay wasn’t working, and a Black woman bought my groceries because it’s Sunday (and the Lord put it on her heart). God please cover Marge from Jewel’s.
Fortunate enough to not work for 5 months this year, and still get paid. Was able to rest and reset. Black women don’t get this luxury, and I’m so blessed.
I literally managed the entire McD’s account without my boss Friday and Today. When I tell y’all I’ve had emails from legal, sports agents hitting me up, producers hitting me up, PR teams hitting me up AND clients?!? Whew. I’m talking on the phone like I know my shit!

Like it’s literally trying to imply she’s aggressive and ghetto. I don’t like it, especially because it’s clickbait and not the full story. They had a beautiful chance to tell another narrative.
Yesterday i was able to talk to some BET interns, and I just cannot believe I’m in the position I’m in now. 1 year ago i was an intern, and I’ve been blessed to host events and manage a multimillion dollar account. I’m not where i want to be but goddamn this is a great start.
