2018 was my best travel year, ever…in terms of quantity. Unfortunately, less so on the quality side. While I’m grateful to have visited 14 cities across 6 countries, I don’t plan to travel that often anymore, and certainly not as if my life depended on it. Before I get into […]
Yayyyyyy, performance reviews! I can’t wait to talk about my performance with my manager during my annual review! Says no one. Unless you’re taking steps to get a raise and/or a promotion. In that case: Make. That. Money. Climb. That. Ladder. But for many of us, performance reviews suck. From […]

This year, eight entrepreneurs showcased their Black owned businesses, including a STEM book for children, cookies, drones, and more, to an audience that voted for their top three favorites to share the $4,000 USD prize money.

Whenever I think of Los Angeles, I picture tree-lined streets. Funny how when I needed these trees to protect me from the blazing summer sun in L.A., I managed to not walk along any of these tree-lined streets. Regardless of being drenched in sweat, I enjoyed my second, but super […]
A quick recap of the robotics exhibit, Robot Evolution, at OMSI.
Eating churros con chocolate, throwing money around at high end luxury stores on Gran Vía, and experiencing beautiful artwork in Museo del Prado. These are the things I did not do while in Spain. I did, however, watch people eat churros con chocolate at San Gines, walked along Gran Vía […]
