Where Would You Wake Up? 50 people. One question. I love this project by Director, Kenneth Chu. If you could wake up tomorrow and be anywhere where would it be?

I thought so.

Don't Marry The First Man Who Winks At You

That’s what my career consultant told me when I was looking for a new job. I would go to his office and list off who I’ve been interviewing with regardless if I was interested in the position or company. Practice makes perfect right? “Linda, I want to make sure that you don’t marry the first man who winks at you. Take the time...

Want To Start Your Own Wine Store?

Sometimes it’s just best to learn from other peoples mistakes. I love wine and would be lying if the thought of opening a wine shop hadn’t crossed my mind. As romantic as it sounds I still stress finding out the realities of running any type of business, so that’s why I though this article was so refreshing. The best part is that The Green Grape wine shop came about when Jason...

So What Are You? This video touched me for several reasons but one really stood out for me. Until I saw this video I wasn’t aware that Ouigi Theodore, the man behind The Brooklyn Circus brand, was Haitian. As a Haitian woman it was personally inspiring to hear his life story and to visually see his success. So many people come to The States not knowing a lick of English, but with sheer...

These ladies made their first million using a simple business model. Netflix for dresses. Now fashion divas and aspiring fashionistas of all budgets can wear the latest runway styles without breaking their wallets.
