In 24 hours, Beyonce featured me dancing on her Instagram page AND I'm in OPRAH MAGAZINE!!! NO BIG DEAL!! AHHH! I'm an attorney, but I've also been a dancer my whole life. Growing up people always made me feel like I had to choose between being "cool" and "being" smart. Ladies... you don't have to choose! You can be smart and cool and pretty and fun and athletic and kind and bossy and soft, and anything else you want to be!!! #Beforeiletgochallenge …see more
Hadn’t planned to take any pics today because I don’t fly camera ready... lol. But I had the craziest flight and wanted to share! Sat next to an older white man who asked me, “what do you do?” I’ve had a lil attitude all day and didn’t feel like talking but I was like, let me be polite so I answered “an attorney.” Then he was silent for 20 minutes until he finally said, “I’m sorry I keep staring at you, and I don’t mean to be awkward, but I’ve never seen a young colored attorney before.” Believe it or not we went on to a have a good, fruitful conversation about race, life, love and everything in between. But what a reminder of the need to do life with people who look, think, act and vote differently than us! I was super ready to write him off as racist (because he was also surprised I had manners 😂) and instead I made a new friend and got to share a little bit of #blackgirmagic with a man who apparently has never been exposed 🤷🏾♀️ …see more
"Self-esteem has nothing to do with the way you look. Trust me, I know lots of beautiful women with low self-esteem. Self-esteem is an internal decision to accept who you are. Don't get me wrong, I feel beautiful when I put on make up. I feel really good about myself. But I also feel really good about myself in the morning before I put it on, and at night when I take it off, because my value is not externally determined. It's internally determined. I decide to like myself before I even look in the mirror. That's self-esteem." …see more
I struggled when I first started working from home. Then I figured out what these professionals did: I need to be out of the house, and absorb a little background noise while working from the patrons at my local library and/or Starbucks. I think I'm more motivated that way because after many years of working in a traditional office, I'm conditioned to think that when I'm home, it's time to chill. Leaving home has been huge for me in terms of #productivity . #KellyeMedia #gender #work #career #remotework …see more

According to the #OECD , the #COVID19 #global #recession won't be as bad as expected in #US , #China , #Europe , #Japan but worse in emerging economies like #India , #Mexico and #SouthAfrca
In July 2017, #China stopped accepting used #plastics from the rest of the world for #recycling as part of its own #environment #ClimateChange push - the blow to the rest of the world, for which China was the recycling solution, has been massive
33 million #Americans have filed for #unemploymentbenefits in the past 6 weeks - that is 10% of the entire American population and nearly 20% of the workforce #Covid19usa #recession2020
DAILY UPDATE #FlattenTheCurve #COVID19 - Controlling for population size, confirmed cases in the #US may match #SouthKorea in the next few days, but the US curve is not as steep as #Italy was at a comparable stage of the crisis
Great for #Wharton to be working with #Penn #Medicine on #healthcare #leadership - important initiative at a critical time
Really important issues. Glad Adam Grant raised them. Some ranking is inevitable but curves, when used consistently, also reduce grade inflation.
This is the report of an internal working group of RBI. We don't know what's RBI's approach would be.
