Happy December!

With just a few more weeks in 2024, I wanted to share an essay I wrote for a competition that was not selected, but I love regardless, and felt many Black women could relate to (7:14). Before starting the essay, I talk a bit about how "rejection" can sting at first, but so often it is meant to push is in a new direction and open us up to opportunities we may not have even considered. I hope you listen to the end.

I started a blog! Visit (www.thelettersandlayers.com) and subscribe to the newsletter at the bottom of the homepage. I'd love to offer answers to your questions, real-time life updates and recommendations, and mental health/wellness insight and resources.

As always, please share and recommend, and thank you so much for the support!
