Who could of sung the truth in this Anthem; any better.
Since the age of 18. I have successfully worked in Corporate America, as a young African American woman.
I took every opportunity to learn our customers. Educate myself on the business. And comfortable in wearing my own natural skin. I figured out how to survive in Corporate America. I walked in the doors as a student. Until these doors relocated, but I chose not to relocate. Why, I had a son. And to ensure he remained my priority in my entire physical world. I needed to ensure he could handle himself in a diverse shuffle of economics. Even if we started in these trenches. One day came where all our Children will need to be equipped to understood before you take a leap of faith. Establish who you are & what you are capable to educate yourself in of product & demand. Because in the real world you will be challenged; but stand firm. You will be greeted; so be firm when extending your hand. You will be questioned; stay up on your knowledge. You will be pushed on purpose; stay silent. And at the end of the day. Store those mental notes in a safe place.
Just for the record, even if you are not alway's rewarded according to your works of performance above expectations. Do not be dismayed when people attempt to out think you. The pay is invested of your contributions to the successes of those returning customers & new customers. Or you're ignored for those rewards that could of at least; been supported. Are acknowledged of your loyalty, skills and talents. Remember educating the consumer will always return back a customer of loyalty. So what is your plan B,C & D. So one day when you venture out into this cluster of a mustered world .Those little mo-hills won't amount to the possibilities. But real time opportunities. In which u worked of mastering in yourself. To creating your mental wealth. So what do I mean by mental wealth. No matter what you choose to birth of wealth, it will not be science to figure out. Because you have mastered identifying the wealth in yourself. Of a mastermind who has served a diverse class of customers.
In my career, ESPN was one of my greatest achievement stories. I was abroad of all the masses mostly in the entertainment of sports. I was employed for 7 years, and most importantly I was this young determined African American woman. Who sat with honor at the front desk. Respected of a brand in succeeding being the face of a massive worldwide establishment, ESPN.
There is nothing we are incapable of doing. For someone else to appreciate us in doing outstanding works. So how can you question if I am not qualified or supposed to lead if not fall behind. For leadership is not a fit for everyone. Are just because that did not happen this time. And where will the funding come from. Remember what you invested in of someone else. And how did you educate that returning customer; to seek your face?
In memory of my son who did not give up, Dominique Devon White my greatest LOVE, paid it forward. And in his community we can look at again; of the seeds planted prior to him. And at least 1 seed he planted in them. To Never Give Up on you, but always take a leap of FAITH!
