I started working in corporate America at a pretty early age. I began a co-op program with Shell when I was a junior in high school and stayed with them until my sophomore year of college so I was acquainted with corporate culture before any of my friends had stepped foot into their actual careers….
Belize was a trip me and my friend Anais decided on simply because we wanted to get away. No tours, no activities, just relax with scenic views. Southwest offers flights to a handful of places in the Caribbean like the Bahamas, Costa Rica and Aruba but Belize was one place neither of us had been….
I met with one of my blogger girlfriends the other night for dinner. She’s a bold and eccentric African American trying to ease her way into the fashion world. We recapped on her recent trip to New York Fashion Week which then led into the topic of finding your way into the in-crowd of these…
Over the last couple of weeks a few things have changed. It started getting dark a little earlier and it’s dropped a couple degrees, but I guarantee it’ll be at least another month before I can wear a jacket. The circumstances work in my favor since I can wear leather and still pull off a sheer…
What is a fact about you that your readers probably would never guess? I know all the words to every song. Songs before I was born, songs I can’t tell you where I’ve heard before, songs from a random Soundcloud account. It’s really weird LOL. What do you consider to be the biggest turnoff when…
Regardless of how incredible travel looks in photos, it can be a complex process. From language barriers to no wifi availability, a good time can turn into a horror story pretty quickly. Here are 5 travel apps I use religiously when traveling that are worth every MB of space on my phone. Travefy – Travel Itineraries…
It was 70 degrees this morning y’all! That may not mean much to you but when you’re used to wearing shorts on Thanksgiving, it’s a pretty big deal. One thing I’m big on is buying particular accessories when the seasons change. Although I know I want to stay on top of what’s trending, I don’t have…
I’m on vacation for the weekend and am hoping that the temperature will have magically dropped 20 degrees by the time I get back on Tuesday. I’m not necessarily ready for Fall, but I am ready to start wearing everything I’ve already purchased for the season. Here are some things that I’ve gotten newly delivered…
Candice Marie is a fellow blogger but unlike me, her expertise is in finance. I value her content because with bloggers and social media, we easily get caught up in how we can spend our money to look and feel good knowing good and well we work regular jobs and live regular lives. Conversations about how to…
Happy Tuesday! I’m gearing up for a corporate event today that I’ve been working on for the last couple of months, so it’s guaranteed to be a long day. But that’s okay, I’m sure the open bar will help. I’ve been going nonstop, working overtime for the blog and my 9 to 5 so I’m…
I’ve done what I said I wanted to do; create a platform where I can discuss ambitions with other young women who are looking to leave their mark. Has it even began to touch the magnitude of where I believe it will go? No, but it’s given me the opportunity to talk to dozens about…
I have few friends for good reason. I’m not opposed to making new ones, nor do I necessarily feel like I need to. My relationships are always built with Quality > Quantity in mind. I don’t require much from my friends other than for them to be who they are because the choice of friendship…
I’m having such a hard time wrapping my mind around how quickly 2016 is passing. We’re already halfway through September but realistically, I need another six months to complete the plans I made for this year. I’ve never been one to abide by the “no white after Labor Day” rule and luckily for us here…
Please forgive my lack of posts this week on The B Werd. I guarantee you that it’s for good reason. For the past couple of weeks, I just haven’t seemed to have enough time in a day. I’ve been wrapping up some major events for my corporate job along with planning my next vacation. Most importantly,…
I’m aware through interaction with you all that many of The B Werd readers are aspiring to have blogs and businesses of their own, if they don’t already. The reason why I launched this site to begin with, was to be able to provide effective resources for the women who are brave enough to go…
