Ways to Earn Money if COVID is Threatening Your Employment

Hey Friends

As someone who has had to find creative ways to work remotely for three+ years, I want to encourage you. All of you are smart and capable and there are some options for you while in the dark. Here are some resources I’ve used/ checked out and vouch for. This is not full-time work but perhaps can offer you a few pieces of financial opportunity if you're among so many that are out of work right now without knowledge of when you might be re-employed. Please try to be thoughtful of the communities who were already financially struggling BEFORE this happened. I'm not seeing any gofundmes for single working moms, especially Black and latina working mothers.

Unemployment
I don't know the logistics but I would urge anyone to at least look into this ASAP. Not the same considering the unprecedented circumstances, but when the restaurant I worked at shut down I had to rely on unemployment until I got my feet back on the ground, and I got it in about a month- please look into this.  

I’ll try to keep updating as I think of more. I only put things that have legit made me money. Am I a millionaire? No. But it’s always good to have some backups. Good luck and may the odds be forever in your favor!!

If you want to check out any of my stuff, I try to resell makeup that is limited edition/special/hard to find and buy and stock in all shades. I try to support Black-owned/women-owned businesses in my sourcing.

Confessions of a Waitress

Waiting tables is sort of like that thing you do until you can get a real job. It’s great in a lot of ways: it can work around your schedule if you are in school or trying to be an actress or a Mariah Carey biographer or something, you can leave with cash and make pretty decent money, and you can meet a lot of cool people. That being said, waiting tables is also one of the most grueling jobs and can sometimes make you hate people, a lot. It’s a pretty weird concept when you think about it: you are there to serve someone else, by definition. A little dehumanizing right off the bat. Second, it puts your financial success (or failure) in the hands of random people you don’t even know. I guess a lot of people still don’t realize that the wait staff relies (usually) entirely on their tips for income. You make $2.15 an hour and that money goes to your taxes. So your paycheck is a big fat zero. When you stiff me on a tip, it really affects me. For anyone out there who happens to...

Saving Yourself from Heartbreak in the Nick of Time (While Suffering From BPD)

I shoulda never listed to your woeful stories The ones I'm sure you told a thousand times before me THE FIRST TIME you traumatized me, I was 29. It was my initial year of graduate school and I had just moved back to the city. I was adapting to a new body; a better one, I thought, than the one that had given me so much trouble growing up. The one that made me hate myself.   (But you didn’t know that girl, and never bothered to get to know her.)     You got to meet the new me, the one that shed both the physical and metaphorical weight of my past. Our first date, I was disappointed. You looked like your pictures, sometimes, in certain lighting, but I didn’t feel any immediate attraction. You told me later it was love at first site for you. I found that so strange we had such different interpretations. I know now, that was a sign for me to not continue a romance with you…but this new me was attracted to your attraction to me. You weren’t like the other guys I had dated ...

The Understated Genius of Black Rob and Buckwild's "Whoa". RIP

Artist : Black Rob Song : “Whoa” Producer :  Buckwild  Year:   2000   Take a peek at Buckwild's Wikipedia page if you wanna go down a fantastic rabbit hole and discover a bombastic discography of  quintessential  NY 90's hip hop songs. Coupled with his work alongside his Diggin in the Crates crew (a moniker for finding the best records to sample), which includes everyone from Lord Finesse to Fat Joe, proves Buckwild is an unsung legend.  Think Big L's "Put It On," Biggie Smalls' "I Got a Story to Tell," Jay-Z's "Lucky Me," Akinyele's "Sister, Sister." But nothing can compare to the sonic enterprise Buckwild and Black Rob embarked on when the two met on the 2000 track "Whoa."   In Rob's "Whoa," Buckwild's musicality and keen ear factor heavily as a major portion of the song's success. His crew's name is indeed integral to their production style when you dig a little further in...
