Faith Vision Boards and the Exclusivity of who the Education System Decides to Fail

I received a text from a chat group I’m in sent this past Saturday morning: “Morning! My moms having vision boarding at her house today”. Wow God’s timing! I was planning on doing my faith vision board at some point so I’m glad this gift came sooner. Shoutout to Renee’s mom, Damali! Me and Renee with our boards.

Initially, I arrived and greeted everyone. Like busy bees all the ladies were cutting out powerful images and empowering words from the pile of Essence and Harvard School magazines among others while vibing to some music. On a side note: I spoke to a young woman who attended and she happened to mention that she had applied to LOTS of medical schools. As someone that is always rooting to see more Black MDs among other underrepresented groups in leadership positions within the medical field, I inquired more and pointed her to a center I had interned at that ran a program: BWH STARS catered to underrepresented junior & senior undergraduate students and first year medical students. Unfortunately they won’t be running the program in 2020, but will in Summer 2021. Be on the lookout!

My passion for empowering high school teens to college students stems from my subpar experience at the high school I attended. A dictatorial regime when it came to discipline, but lacked in properly readying students for college/alternative routes like trades or entrepreneurial activities. AmeriCorps tutors (majority white american) came on the scene my 1st year to spicen up their resumes and see what the “struggle” looked like for the Black and Latino students they would end up “saving” from the perils of the “inner city”. You see how crazy this sounds? Well, many unfortunately STILL have this mindset. And did I mention that many of us didn’t even fit the “stereotypical mold” of their wildest dreams _______ (fill in the blank stereotypes of Black and Latino groups). Sadly, as a Dominican teen I didn’t even have the slightest grasp of the various levels of racism, micro-aggressions and prejudices until years later. Thanks to taking sociology & public health courses, studying abroad, volunteering and domestic & international internship experiences (mainly by my own inquisitive nature) at university level the wheels began to turn for me. After graduating from university, I happened to reconnect with a few tutors whom witnessed and disclosed to me much of racist commentary most of their white American counterparts who thought they were saving “us” were exhibiting through a white savior complex lens. A Race and ethnic relations course (the class that changed my WHOLE life) should be made part of the mandatory curriculum required for all freshmen as English & Math were and still are. When it came to deciding the college of choice there was no detailed process of doing so as I, now, realize was so important. It felt like my high school preferred to bow down to the MCAS (Massachusetts standardized testing) rather than preparing us for the SATs and strategically navigating college (in order to atleast come out with the least or NO debt)! Most of my high school’s student demographic consisted of Black and Latino students, and per usual, we were given the short end of the stick when it came to the resources that were needed. I later learned that my high school was funded partially through public resources not just private. Fun Fact!

The young woman at this past weekend’s activity had shared that she was Haitian and explained her high school experience to me. Although in a private school, she noticed the disposable income most of the wealthy kids had as they were tutored at their own leisure while she was not allotted the same. She also mentioned the ridiculously low standards that Black youth were held at vs their white American counterparts. The power of the tongue is real-- speak death onto a person see how they turn out years later vs someone who gets life spoken into them. It’s that simple. At one point, we were like oh shoot we gotta finish our boards! I realized how particular my attention to detail was because when I looked around I saw everyone was finished. LOL

I ended up adding more to my faith vision board over the weekend. I came across a Stop & Shop recipe magazine and a real estate magazine at home (food and financial wealth) best of both worlds. I felt like Nemo recently because you know, life happens, even after you do these “pick me up” activities. Try to be the Dory to your family, friends and even strangers. 

Although I did not have the most fruitful high school experience I am grateful for what I have learned years later so in the present and future I can empower & engage!

There’s always money in the banana stand.

June 4, 2019. I woke up with $95 of liquid funds in my account and $650 rent to pay. My boyfriend offered to lend me cash. That, friends, was a new low

Two days earlier I had received a paycheck for $990 for two weeks of work.

Within 3 days of automatic bill payments, $300 having been sent to another bank account as my “variable expenses allowance” until my next paycheck from *that* job, and I’m sunk.

June 5, 2019. The last day to pay my rent before I incur a late fee, and I wake up to $1100 in that same account and my $300 allowance cleared.

How’d that happen?

1. I scrounged my apartment for cash I periodically squirrel away from my restaurant gig for these emergencies.

2. I got 2 months of utilities payment from my roomie (who I consistently forget to bill on time)

That got me to $595. $55 short for my rent payment with $300 floating in space between my big bank bank and my online bank that’s supposed to make my variable spending life more Simple.

Then, miraculously this morning, my freelancing gig that often doesn’t pay me until the 8th or 9th of the month (although they claim it will be sooner) and a client payment cleared.

Even while writing this post I get another Venmo of $100 from a client!

So now, I can pay my rent on time without borrowing from my parents, my boyfriend, or whomever else in my life I might bring myself to ask for help, thus creating a shame-spiral of questioning my life-choices.

I looked at my man and said “I just want there to be a steady amount in my account so I’m not giving myself grey hairs over paying my goddamn bills on time! I thought this process of trying to organize my shit was going to mean ending the panic attacks!”

Freelancers- ya feel me?

Hustlers- ya feel me?

Shift workers- ya feel me?

Welcome to “The Banana Stand Blog,” with me, Your Fellow Freelancer.

Who am I to talk to you about money? Good question.

I’ve lived a few lives based in freelancing and shift work in the last 17 years. I’m 32 now, and getting my financial shite together. I’m committed to it 200% because I believe it’s the biggest thing holding me back from my deepest desire: freedom.

I’ve read all the books, listened to the podcasts, read the blogs, gone to free financial coaching, gone to expensive financial coaching, gone to mid-range financial coaching.....and I still continue to consume ALL THE INFORMATION I CAN GET MY HANDS ON.

But here’s what I’ve discovered: the financial advice out there is standardized to favor people in a more traditional work environment.

It doesn’t tell you how to take the $300 of tips you just walked out the door with and use it right, nor does it tell you how to organize gig-work when you’ve got money randomly coming in throughout the month.

It doesn’t tell you how you can get ahead without seeming to need 8 hours of time -per week- to budget down to every 👏🏻 last 👏🏻 penny 👏🏻

(I’m guessing if you’re still reading this post, you ain’t got time for that shite either).

And I’m frustrated. I don’t fit the trad, never have, and I have no desire to work a corporate 9-5 job (although I have applied for them, in desperation for change).

So if you’re like me and you’ve got all the side hustles in the land, but you want to get out of leading that paycheck-to-paycheck life, lets do it together.

I’m not perfect, and you don’t need to be either. If this blog helps just one person out there feel less alone, I’ve done my job. Because I’ve felt very alone for a very long time here, and that has truly sucked.

You ain’t alone fellow freelancer / shift worker / they of many gigs. I promise 🤘🏼

-Your Fellow Freelancer

You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.

Last bight at @thestartuprace Edinburgh Startup Christmas Party with Jane. I met some amazing people last night and had lots of fun. Looking forward to our next monthly meetup 😊 #Christmas #party #business #entrepreurship #startup #LofE

Here We Are!

Aujourd’hui, je me lance ! Après une dizaine d’années dans le secteur de la bière craft, une première expérience de création d’entreprise et une passion pour les spiritueux qui ne me lâche pas, je me décide enfin à monter ma boîte et à partager avec vous mon parcours, mes découvertes, ce qui me fait vibrer mais aussi ce qui m’agace ;)

Ici commence ma nouvelle vie d’entrepreneuse (oui, au féminin).

Alors Bla bla bla whisky… parce que tout va quand même beaucoup tourner autour de ça...

Bla Bla bières… parce que 10 ans ça laisse des traces…

Bla Bla… parce qu’on parlera aussi de voyages, d’imprévus, de bonnes surprises… autrement dit de mes aventures au pays du whisky, de la bière et de l’entrepreneuriat.

En bref, de beaux produits, de belles rencontres, des passionné•e•s, des bons plans et surtout des échanges avec toutes celles et tous ceux à qui ce Tumblr parlera (ou pas !)

Stay tuned...

Don’t set a particular material thing as your goal. Don’t dive into the business world with the sole focus of getting that Ferrari or that beachfront house.

Material goals will be nice for a short time once you achieve them, and then you’ll be left wondering what to do with your life all over again.

Make your goal to build yourself up. Decide what kind of person you want to be, start working toward that, and never stop. You can always learn new things and improve your mind and body, so you will never have to wonder what to do next. Just keep going!
