The Memo: Weekly News Update

Week-End Pick: Snow Boots
We're supposed to get a pretty substantial snow storm in the Northeast this week-end, and that had me thinking about snow boots, my least favorite of shoes, ranking right after boring sneakers and bland flip-flops. I like my shoes like I like my coffee, tall and with...

This post is from an interesting conversation I had with a great friend of mine, who also happens to be a strikingly beautiful and undeniably professionally successful Black woman. My friend is a marketing genius, and has made leaps and bounds in her career from the...
Coffee Break: Flirting at Work?
Listen, we spend upwards of 8 hours at work. We're told to bring our best face forward, present ourselves in the best light, and be as cooperative as can be. We're even told make-up makes us look more competent and trustworthy. Not to mention the sheer abundance of...
