Advice from your auntie
Dear sweet girls,
The question I asked myself this morning is: “Would you put your livelihood and life on the line to create a better world for those you love?”
My answer: “Absolutely.”
When you are older, how will YOU answer this question?
Love,
Your Favorite Auntie
Hi, girls!
While college and careers may not be on your radar today, they will be eventually.
When applying for graduate school, I suggest you follow the application instructions to the letter. When drafting essays, I suggest you use subheadings to help the readers navigate the essay.
When applying for positions, I suggest you focus on your position duties AND accomplishments in your résumé.
When applying for positions, in your cover letter, I suggest you mostly focus on how your professional experience directly correlates with the position duties.
The world is yours.
Much love,
Auntie
Dear girls,
Anyone who thinks and says that racism does not exist should be removed from your life – no matter who they are. Never befriend anyone – of any race – who does not respect your reality as a Black girl. That is why my circle of friends remains tight and small. Not everyone is worthy of being my friend.
I love you.
Auntie
