The truth is we don’t live in a perfect way and even Warren Buffett has made some questionable decisions. His questions can help to determine your underlying motives for the choices you make. Yet beware of applying them too literally and be mindful that life is usually more nuanced.,As you get closer, you immediately come down from the clouds and suddenly feel as if you’d traded in your dream for a nightmare when someone from the group approaches you and says:,Promises and async…await allow you to deviate from the traditional linear way to execute programs which for a single-threaded language like Javascript, make it more powerful and fast to compute a lot of things quickly without resourcing to create dedicated threads.,Most Americans with a pulse know of Breonna Taylor’s horrific death. However, it appears a few members of the GOP somehow missed the entire story — that often ran as headline news on most major media outlets— of the 26-year-old EMT who was tragically killed by police in her own home.,Images of the powerful women who made this opportunity possible for you slowly flow through your mind. You imagine how Shirley Chisholm, Maxine Waters, Karen Bass, Sheila Jackson Lee, Barbara Jordan, Cynthia McKinney, Lucy MacBeth, Cardiss Collins, Val Demings, Kamala Harris, and the 37 other Black congresswomen felt when their journeys began. Your heart fills with pride as you realize your name will be etched in history alongside these illustrious, celebrated, and historical women. The work that you do will always be directly connected to them and their remarkable legacies.,When a White woman is murdered or goes missing, it’s typically featured first on every medium, it’s the top priority of the judicial system to bring the culprits to justice, and it’s usually a popular topic of conversation in a wide variety of circles. However, when the victim is a Black woman, our communities must push and protest to get adequate and effective media coverage. It has long since become painfully obvious that the value of a Black woman’s life has never equaled that of her White counterparts, even after 400 years of our presence in this country.,The truth is we don’t live in a perfect way and even Warren Buffett has made some questionable decisions.

Your new employer has awarded you the opportunity to put your talent and skills to good use to create a better, more equitable society.,This was Congresswoman-elect Cori Bush’s introduction to life on Capitol Hill as the first Black woman to represent Missouri. Known for her activism, her title as a pastor of the church she founded in St. Louis, and her career as a registered nurse, Bush is no stranger to acting in the capacity of a dedicated public servant. Her passion for justice for the Black community, notably in the wake of Michael Brown’s death, propelled her to run for Congress. As a representative, she felt she would have a greater opportunity to improve the conditions for marginalized people of color in Missouri and throughout America.,When Bush came forward to give the details of her colleagues mistaking her for Breonna Taylor simply because she wore a mask bearing her name, it was a sad reminder of the erasure and lack of regard for Black women in this country. It would be rare to find a person over the age of 35 years old who wasn’t aware of the deaths of Laci Peterson or Natalee Holloway and even more bizarre for any woman alive to be mistaken for either woman since their stories were widely discussed and analyzed.,When you walk into your office, a small smile plays around your lips as you realize how often you’ve envisioned this moment in your wildest daydreams.

Bush was one of the outspoken activists who used her platform to bring attention to this horrific crime. She joined Black Lives Matter in Kansas City, where she and others spoke out against police brutality and rallied to bring change to protect Black lives. She has also been photographed multiple times wearing her Breonna Taylor mask to show her commitment as an advocate for Black women and her solidarity for the movement.,After you’ve organized your office, you make your way to your new-hire orientation still feeling heady from the realization of your accomplishment. You pass a few of your GOP colleagues in the halls of the capitol building who smile at you welcomingly. Initially, this shocks you because you are well aware of the treatment Black women in Congress have received from the other side of the aisle, however, these people appear friendly and are motioning for you to join them.
