Beyonce Told Me to Quit My Job, So I Did

To say these last three years have been riddled with challenges is an understatement. However, it has also forced us into awareness. We asked ourselves questions like: “How are we taking care of our souls?” “Where aren’t we being appreciated?” “What can I do to change my environment?” And then the answers to all three questions came, as they often do, from the Queen herself: the omnificent Beyoncé. So, I, Jaretta, quit my damn job!

Join us, Jaretta and Satta, as we discuss not only why I quit my job but also:

• Self care
• Prioritizing mental health
• Pandemic
• Non-profit education
• Code switching
• Microaggressions
• Therapy
• Anxiety
• Prayer
• Scarcity mindset
• The Great Recession
• Job security
• Stress management
• White privilege
• Performative allyship
