The Folly of Honesty
Press enter or click to view image in full size For the first decade that I stepped into adulthood, I was sure that my honesty was my armor. I was confident that words based on shared knowledge or of actual events are not just my business to communicate, but it was my duty. It seemed especially crucial in situations where I was not seeing eye-to-eye with another person or where the level of someone else’s delusions became too much for my bull crap meter to handle.
To That Front Office Clerk Who Always Has a Bad Attitude
Business owners, school leaders, and medical offices, please check in on your front office staff. The members of the front office hold the vital role of creating a first impression and sometimes shaping the overall perception of your business or organization. If a member of your front desk team is having a bad day or is dealing with personal issues, it's wise to do a quick pulse check. See how their attitude toward the world is at the start of each day.
We Can’t Get Along Because I’m Always In My Feelings
Recently, I overheard two family members discussing how they consider themselves detached from their emotions, almost with pride. They seemed to view emotional awareness as an undesirable trait, pitying those who functioned otherwise. Their attitude made me realize a central tension in my family: I am emotionally forward and expressive, while most of my relatives tend to be emotionally unaware or repressed.

Black Women and Resilience
Aries Sanders, Ed. D · Follow 4 min read · -- Photo by Jon Tyson on Unsplash Black women like my mother, grandmother, and her mother before her, perfected the skill of resilience.

How is Love a Behavior?
Aries Sanders, Ed. D · Follow 4 min read · -- Photo by Nathan Dumlao on Unsplash A vast number of individuals can articulate how love makes them feel. It’s a universal experience that transcends cultural, social, and personal boundaries. However, only some possess the vocabulary to differentiate one experience of love from another. The vocabulary that explains the sensations that are felt from the love of a parent does not compare to the sensations that are felt for a child.
Repeated Rejection
Aries Sanders, Ed. D · Follow 3 min read · -- Photo by Jakayla Toney on Unsplash Rejection, the dismissal or disregard of something or someone, is an unpleasant yet inevitable aspect of life. It is a shared human experience that everyone, at some point, has felt. Whether it is the sting of romantic rejection, job loss, or the internal sensation of nonacceptance, these experiences can either motivate or discourage a person.
The Cycle of Escapism
One of the many benefits of getting older and reaching the same pivotal ages that your parents once did, is the opportunity to reflect on their lives and compare them to your own. Speaking for myself, I am at a point in my life where I yearn to develop a deeper understanding of who my parents were then and how they fell into their fallacies. I recall a moment when I was sitting in my car, feeling mentally suffocated and overwhelmed.
Is an Awareness Practice Enough?

Self-sabotage are unconscious behaviors that yield unfavorable results. What can you do when you are the problem, and the creator of your life struggles? Self-sabotage is not always shown as an apparent behavior such as missing deadlines, not going to work, or not following up on a lead; it can be more subtle and go unnoticed. Self-sabotage is more than missing the occasional opportunity. It is a pattern of behavior that exists day-to-day and it juxtaposes your desired outcomes.
The Andragogy Model in the Workplace: Pillar 1
Today's employee landscape is more generationally diverse than at any time in modern history. Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z are all working, often side by side. These vast gaps in age and experience have today's leaders supporting teams with nuanced complexity. Why the andragogy model of learning? The andragogy model is designed by educators to facilitate adult learning. The model simply shifts the leadership structure from oversight to collaboration.
Follow Your (Leadership) Heart
During the doctoral journey, there comes a time when you must decide on your dissertation topic. I was uncertain for the first year, but the pandemic struck during the second year of my postgraduate program, and soon, my dissertation found me. Amidst the chaos of a global crisis, I found myself juggling the roles of a full-time student, a full-time single mother, and a full-time corporate employee.
