Professionality...
I have noticed over the past few years that at work I've had set aside more and more of my personality and turned on my professionality. Up until this year I have resented this process because I felt like it was draining and possibly unnecessary. But as I mature I realize that it's just apart of the game. And playing that game the right way is apart of my success.
This are is most definitely important considering that I am a Black young woman. Black, young, and woman are all antitheses of today's work environment, especially as you rise to the top.
The reason I blog is because I think that I have accepted my duty and I have begun to develop my professionality. I mean I am still myself, but with a twist. Kinda like when in Rome do as the Romans. Because otherwise I'd get swollowed up, over looked, bypassed, etc. And I'm really not feeling that.
Should I sit back and watch them make rank and sit in the back of the line?
Hell No.
So 2 points for me.
Thee end.

lol@ 2 points 4 me! I know thats right. I too struggle with this because honestly I could care less about this job. I could care less about whether I'm too professional or not professional enough. I know in the end this may be the death of me but right now I just don't care. Seriously! It's all just a ratrace and own mind staying in the back watching "them" do all the running! I'm Good!
Lol @Durt. Figures!
I wish I felt the same. I have this yearning to be heard. Not just in the work place, but definitely outside of the places I work and reside.
I have this sense of duty. It's a headache, but it drives me. So duty calls.
Just remember me, when you see my lil' face on tv or in a magazine.
