Since I recently learned that the CEO can hijack any handle that’s not used often here, on Dark X, I figured I should post something to try to protect mine. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I stopped using this platform a while ago because it seemed to have gotten a little dark. Now, it seems to have gotten even worse. Shall we call it Dark X?

I love that the winner of the @ScrippsBee made it clear she is not going to allow folk’s to put her in a box. Why be defined for doing one thing when you have more than one gift and talent? Congratulations @Basketballasart! I look forward to watching you crush comp on the court!

LOL! Crazy s*xist but still cracked me up... Meetings with women "take so much time" because we don't talk just for the sake of talking... We're not interested in punting an idea to the next meeting... If we can get it done now...let's do it now! 🙌🙌

Never ever ever give up on your dreams... This is such an incredible reminder. @T_J_Newman I don't read horror books...but I am most certainly rooting for you this book journey to have a fairytale ending for you. Cheers!

41 agents rejected a book that just sold for seven-figures! Remember what I said yesterday: NEVER give up on your dream.

Absolutely love this gymnast! Every routine @DennisNia does it her way. She’s clearly not looking for approval; just what makes her smile. Now, I have to run it back to look for her writing her name in the air as I’m fairly certain she does that in every one of her routines.

I vividly remember breaking down and sobbing when @AaliyahHaughton passed. Only 2 1/2 years younger than me, so her death hit home like she was a personal friend or close family member. Her early death inspired my living. Meaning, I never took a day for granted after this tragedy

we miss you, aaliyah. 🕊️

If the death rate from COVID-19 was the same in the USA as it is in Canada, 188,977 fewer people would have died. You would have only had 117,485 deaths so far.
