I’m noticing your 20s, especially late 20s come with alot of transitions. Ending relationships/ friendships to make room for new ones, beginning your careers, starting families.
Its the most uncomfortable yet rewarding time lol

Me & a friend ended a 20 year friendship last year & I haven’t heard from her since. Them the type of people I like lmao if we done, we done, it what it is.
It’s all love while you here & I dont know you when you leave 🤣 simple
I remember this girl told me she didn’t know if she wanted to get into tech because she didn’t want to outearn her partner…..mind you, she was single….
So you would rather make less all your life in the hopes of not making more than a man you dont even have???? 😭🤣
Tech money bought me a new house, a new car, a better life for my son. I love it here 👩🏽💻 Forever blessed ✨
As I hold a meeting from my car as we speak because my house sounds like a construction site 👷🏽♀️🤣
Making my previous monthly salary in a week now is so crazy to me 😭 Really almost quadrupled my salary 🥳 It’s a great day to be a Black Woman in Tech 😌👩🏽💻✨
No bullshit, not even 3 years ago... I did NOT have the rent on the 1st and would have to GRIND 24 hours straight to scrounge up the money selling stuff to get $670 by the 3rd in the Midwest.
Now I pay California rent downtown by the beach and flourish doing what I love.😭
Promotion & New Title officially took effect 🥳
From Business Systems Analyst to Product Owner to Product Manager in a year & a half 😌🤌🏾

All jobs I’ve gotten in tech so far, I got thrown into the role, no training. So my advice would be starting to create your own “onboarding” docs. Your first few weeks or so should be establishing a plan of how to do your job & who the key players are that you need to do that.
All my recent interviews been 1 round & an offer. These gov companies aint no wasting no time lol
They like: You cool? You qualified? Bet because we just got awared a new contract & we got money to blow. Welcome!” 🤣
The goal was $100k by 2022. I’m currently making $200k halfway through the year. Getting to $300k by 2023 is my next goal 😌✨

I been the same loud person when I was making $14/hr & driving a 2013 Charger. I literally glamorize EVERY part of my life. I’m a Leo, come on now lmaooooo I can poor as dirt & still think I’m the best bitch since sliced bread because I am. It’s not on me, it’s IN me.
Usually I learn a new fact during BHM this one came a little late. Nonetheless did y’all know?!
Marian Croak is the Black woman who invented the technology behind FaceTime, Skype, zoom..
she has 200 patents to her name! this amazes me
Rent was never on time. Any bills for that matter. I built this life I have now, tooth & nail. That’s why I celebrate everything the way I do. I deserve it all.
Woke up thinking about 22 year old Brie & how courageous she was to jump out there & open a storefront on her own.
Hosting celebrity events & killing shit.
I hope she knows I’m so proud of her & I hope she’s SO proud of me 🥹✨
This happened to me. I called the Benz in Tysons inquiring about the AMG I wanted.
The man said: “The people who buy these type of cars dont test drive them”.
I hung up, called Alexandria, custom ordered a brand new one the same day.
Left a nasty ass review for Tysons, they
My cousin made partner last yr. She just got her 1st nice car, a Panamera. She said the 1st salesman was racist & treated her like she wasnt actually buyin. She said it was funny to buy it right in front of him😭. Salesmen not treating everyone like potential money is crazy
Just stumbled across my unemployment statements from 2020 & damn near cried. I remember how hard that time was for me, finding out I was pregnant then being laid off. I will FOREVER pop my shit because I really pulled myself out!
This time last year I was studying for my CSA & ITIL and passed them both within a month. Three months later, I landed my first 2 jobs in tech & quadrupled my income 😮💨
Today, I’m studying for my CSM & CSPO & will be passing both this month. I love when I’m in that mode 🤑
When you get converted from contract to FTE w/ a lil promotion 😏🤑
One thing about me, imma be outside but imma do my work first 👩🏽💻

I’m the highest earner in my entire family & I’m only 28. I wasn’t taught anything about financial literacy. I’m glad I learned valuable information in my 20s so I go into my 30s smart & even more paid 🤓✨
Went to get 10 bands out the bank to drop on the AMG. Could’ve used my card but I wanted to big dog real quick 😮💨🤣✨

Life doesn’t stop & you still gotta show up unfortunately. That’s why I’m always on the “pop your shit” side because bitch if you survived what I survived, you got every right to! Do your biggest one!
I just feel like the girls are not playing in 2024. We dropping people that no longer serve us.
We crushing our work & business goals.
This year is really a no nonsense year.
The standards are set & enforced!!! ✨
I gotta question & dont fight me because ya know ya like to tussle. But, why ya toddlers be up at 10,11,12 at night? Put them babies on a routine! Fed, bath, teeth, book, bed by 8:30-9. Ya really upsetting me lol
Not planning itineraries on vacation >>>
Sleeping in, ordering room service, relaxing in front of the swim out pool is how I like to start my days. Not waking up at 7am to go to an all day excursion lmao
I’m not desperate for friends nor love.
If I allow you in my space, you serve a purpose.
I don’t need placeholders just taking up space. Like-minded people only ✨
Tech is hard af & you have to be smart af. Don’t allow anyone to downplay your experience or your title. If you made it in, you’re doing the damn thing!!
Especially as Black Woman.
We’re the ultimate bad ass b* 💁🏽♀️🤣
Smart & pretty, a 2 for 1 🤣✨

1. Effective Stakeholder Communication in Business Analysis
2. How to Properly Gather Requirements (User Story Creation, Capturing effective Acceptance Criteria) etc, etc

Going on a 3rd date with the same person & this big for me because I’m usually in a relationship after the 1st one lmao

Big Wife, not the little oneee 😝💁🏽♀️🥳
Very selective with who my son goes around. Very selective with who he knows. Yes he is too good. My baby is innocent & pure hearted. People & their kids be corrupt.
