No Black WNBA players have a signature shoe. Here's why that's a gigantic problem.
It's possible star A'ja Wilson will soon get her signature shoe. The fact she doesn't already have one shows a lack of respect for Black WNBA players.3 CommentsComment on Facebook

Look I still hold fast to the don’t speak ill of the dead and if you can’t say anything nice… I don’t like putting out that kind of negative energy about someone I don’t know and had no impact on my life. I do hope the families that he did impact can now have a sense of closure and peace.

She is experiencing what many other college student experience.she is looking for “thee” job not any job and it takes times. She will be just fine!😌
You are what you think and speak. Be careful with that.😬
You are not broke, don’t you dare claim that. You are what you believe! You are “JUST” in between blessings. Gotta give “GOD” more credit than that!
I can not relate to being blessed to go to an HBCU. But after I was done at college, I went a year not finding a job, in the field of study I graduated with. What I did do, was volunteer work for 2 to 3 days a week. I also worked a fast food job to have some money. Within 6 months, I got a job I liked. Make sure to keep networking, and register as alumni at your school. Reach out to the school career center for advice, and to the leaders in your old clubs you were involved in. But definitely look into volunteering in an organization or company in your field. Join a grad chapter of a sorority. Even in my little city, I seen organizations that are for young professionals to be a part of; don’t give up!! You are never alone!! Good luck!!
I respect her for sharing her story because I read the title I knew the flood of criticism was coming 😅😂. I think the bigger picture is that she’s in search of a community outside of her comfort zone. I think she believed the job market wouldn’t be easy to navigate because most of us including myself are struggling with that too, but the sense of and knowledge that she had community support like she did in college kept her going. Anyone that’s been to any college has to have experienced that(Hopefully). Post grad life especially when you’re not living within your safety net(Moving back home or In the Same town that you graduated from) it’s a huge reset socially.
Lonelier than ever. Might be time to find a church or or something else to be a part of
I hope she finds the best job fit for her life and purpose. That unfortunately, could sometimes take years. Some seasons of life are truly meant for separation and focus. I went through something similar and afterwards, I wish that I had waited and been more careful, with the friends I did choose in my search for community post college.😔 You can always make your skillset work for you, by working in household staffing and hospitality especially with your degree. You can work as a household manager or a junior personal assistant, which comes with benefits excellent pay and temporary housing etc. Those jobs can be found through household staffing agencies like the Nanny League etc.
I have 1 Associates, 1 Bachelors, 2 Masters a mountain of student loans and a underpaid job at 56. I know how she feels. Degrees really mean nothing because companies won't hire you due to being "over qualified."
Is she jobless because she has a degree in English and not some other discipline where there’s a demand for graduates? I always am amazed that liberal arts students often wonder why they come out of college and can’t find a job but they pile up massive debt. You really have to think about your options when you’re in high school and not wait until you graduate with a degree that’s essentially just a piece of paper.
This is a different market... never went to an HBCU, but I had a lot of job options to choose from before I graduated. My whole senior year was all about securing the bag.
If you don’t get traction with internships during undergrad, you’re screwed. I heard hbcu’s had a very high employment rate but I guess they’re struggling like the pwi’s. Hang in there hun!
I’m glad for the most part you had a great college experience. 1 thing you need to understand since graduating is the fact you may not get the career you studied for immediately. Try to find a career making at least 50,000 and make sure it’s something you can do. While working there continue to apply for the careers you actually want. It’s a hustle out here and you have to know how to play the game. Don’t let experience deter you from a job apply anyways. Your experience was the 4-5 years obtaining your degree. Don’t stop at applying for 3 jobs a week and giving up. Apply to as many as you can daily. You have plenty of time to do this. The companies you want to work for find out their pattern for putting out new jobs. It’s usually on a Tuesday. Finally, don’t limit yourself to linkin and indeed. Go directly to their main site. Scroll down to careers and apply. You’ll find that most jobs don’t post on other sites.
I understand that you miss your friends, but more importantly, what is your purpose? Do you have one? It can’t be tied to your friends. What was your degree in? Sounds almost like your happiness and financial success was tied to your friend. Are you happy with your degree, because as far as your friends, y’all could always form a girls trip. You seem like a smart beautiful black sister, your happiness shouldn’t be aligned or dependent on anyone else. I think you need to find yourself, your passions, and your happiness.
She could find a job somewhere if she really looked. Sometimes you have to crawl before walking.
She's saying that she's broke with no job after college but still not saying what she was majoring in for her not to get a job in her career.
If you were prepared well, and I trust you were, you should be ready to take on the world, not retreat to the bubble... #HBCUPride (NCCU'88) Go get 'em!
What happened to her network?
My daughter experienced the same as far as missing her college family post graduation luckily she is able to travel and spend time with them
Isn't networking and making lifelong friends part of the college experience? Was she anti-social for 4-years? What was her major? Her placement in her graduating class? Counselors didn't help her with resume creation and potential job prospects during her senior year?
Where’s your husband?
Hang in there. God is with u. listen to the higher vibration, God will lead to the next level. Peace & Love.
Hang in there. You are stronger than you think. Maintain friendships and relationships, that can take you a long way.
Guess college didn't work for you or you missed an important lesson..
In my hometown of Duval County, FL, she what we would describe as "shot out".
Some places don’t have much to offer in terms of employment. Try a different city,
