An OPEN LETTER to my Sistas in the DEI space

“We don’t need any more ‘allies’… what we need now is partners.”

First, I offer my deepest respect to you all. As a boy in the 1960s and 70s, I was used in order to integrate four (4) different school districts in upstate New York. So I know firsthand the nature of the Herculean effort you’ve been engaged in.

It takes incredible courage to go into the wolf’s den, and politely but firmly ask the wolf to change his ways. You’ve put the wolf’s claims of growth and maturity to the test, and to absolutely no one’s surprise, after 60+ years of faking it, he just can’t pretend any more.

So now the winds of economic change are blowing, and for many mid-career professionals, the prospect of layoffs and economic hardship are becoming a harsh reality. But with every challenge comes the chance to rewrite your story.

And while this is of course an incredibly difficult time to be a job seeker in the DEI field, I want to remind you that you have something that is incredibly valuable to the marketplace; your life experience.

You have in abundance what most others lack – the ability to communicate, to build rapport, to see the world through other people’s eyes. Despite the obstacles, (or rather because of them), your story is of value to many and it is vital that it be expressed in whatever way suits you best.

The Grown Folks’ Computer Club was created to help you turn uncertainty into empowerment by providing you with the tools, training, and support to either locate a new job, launch a side hustle, or create an online business that inspires others to join your cause.

In a world where job security feels like a thing of the past, we’ll equip you with the digital skills, teammates, and marketing know-how to create a path that’s entirely your own.

Why wait for the economy to dictate your next move, when you can take control of your financial future today? Your abilities create opportunities not just for yourself, but for others.

Your story is one of strength against all odds; don’t let it die inside you unspoken. I’d like to be a bridge that helps get you from where you are to where you want to be.

Whether you’ve been blindsided by layoffs or you’re simply tired of waiting for that next real opportunity, it’s time to break out of ‘Career Limbo’ and define your future by taking action.

Joining the Grown Folks’ Computer Club means stepping into a community of like-minded professionals who are taking charge of their lives.

Our hands-on coaching, step-by-step programs, and exclusive resources will guide you toward building something that’s not only profitable, but also aligned with your passions and expertise. Don’t let uncertainty hold you back — this is the perfect time to invest in your growth, your stability, and your family’s future.

I’ve been where you are, and I’ve lived the struggle firsthand. I hope you make the decision to future-proof your career by permanently taking control away from people who’ve proven they hold us in contempt, and all too often wish us harm.

If you’re feeling uncertain about what’s next, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m offering a free career planning consultation to help you explore new opportunities, leverage your skills in fresh ways, and create a path forward with confidence. Whether you’re considering a career shift, a side hustle, or launching something of your own, let’s talk about your options. Schedule a time that works for you here: https://lnkd.in/dvEhchpT

I invite you to connect with me, and I also invite you to join the Grown Folks’ Computer Club today. Let’s work together, and start building life on our own terms. Because in spite of the headwinds our enemies have unleashed, the truth is, the majority of our country – and the world – is rooting for you to win.

May you be truly blessed for being the precious and elevated spirits you are.
