ISSUE #24 - Nov 26, 2019

Hello!

I’m sharing my top 5 books of 2019. This extended weekend you can spend time learning and connecting with these amazing women of color authors. Let me know what you decide to read!

I’ve been learning a lot about the decolonization of food and Thanksgiving. I’m sharing a few inspiring articles that might inform your Thanksgiving menu and traditions this year.

Also I’m excited to share that the amazing Cynthia Pong, Feminist Career & Negotiation Coach, is offering her Power Session Lites, a 45-minute career coaching session by phone (or Skype for international folks), during which Cynthia and you strategically tackle your most-pressing career concern. Slots are limited, sign up now.

Happy reading and relaxation!
