When we were dating, Al said to me one day with a huge grin on his face, “You make me feel like a king every morning when I walk out that door.” I smiled to myself and thought, “Awww! How nice of him to notice.” LOL. You see, that’s what I was aiming for. To…
In October 2017, the NAACP issued a travel advisory warning passengers about “a pattern of disturbing incidents reported by African-American passengers, specific to American Airlines.” As a road warrior, this got me thinking…I spend a LOT of time in the air, fluctuating on average between Executive Platinum and Platinum levels.

I’m no Gloria Steinem, but I do believe in taking care of yourself financially … being independent of your spouse or S.O. (and certainly someone you’ve just met)! But how do you do that?

Okay, listen up, Divas. You need help! Say what now? Yep. You, Ms. Thang … Ms. “I Got This!” … Ms. “Nobody Tells Me What to Do.” Um-hmm, you. Now I’m not talking about “You need help” as in you’re cray cray. (And some of us might be, but we’ll save that for another blog…
