There are many, who long before me, figured out that success is what you determine it to be. That worthiness is innate.

Your imaginary white friend
By Teka Lark People often say race is not real. It is a social construct. This is true. Race isn’t real, but the damage of race is very real. If I have an imaginary friend that isn’t real and that imaginary friend tells me to kill you and you end up dead then that imaginary…
Uber is not what sharing looks like
By Teka Lark I don’t like misnomers. Sharing economy, free and independent are all terms that have been perverted. The sharing economy as labeled by Fortune magazine is not sharing.
