Goal, Purpose, Plan

I must admit, I don’t read all my emails but occasionally I get a supposed junk email that catches my eye.

YouTube Creator sent me one that made me say “Hmm”. It was an interview: Building Community on YouTube | Amplify Voices featuring Tiffany Rothe (TiffanyRotheWorkouts). That it was focused on a Black female YouTube Creator was important as we don’t get to see Black women as entrepreneurs as I would like. And we particularly don’t get to see Black women getting instruction on the media tools that are out there (of course, we could learn from Black Creators who are taking TikTok to task.)

Fitness instructor Tiffany Rothe has a clear approach to success: having a goal, a purpose and a plan. You all know my current goal to be a Career Development Practitioner/Consultant. I purpose is to provide career direction to those who are feeling lost in this Covid era. In truth, I was feeling lost myself which is why I took to this path.

My plan? Well there is the completion of my CDP program at George Brown College. After that? I have some ideas – who knows?

A look at the film and TV Industry

I found this Entertainment Weekly post on women and sexism in the film and TV industry.  Eva – make that Civil War Movie!

I have said it before: I have long held that it is time for women to say to hell with Hollywood and look at other avenues to tell stories.  Hollywood is dying a death in double time. Netflix and HBO is where it’s at.  As Snagglepuss used to say.
