Oneika: “How Travel Opened Me Up to the Rainbeau”

Mar 17, in Black Women's Empowerment, Guests of the Inner Sanctum, International Traveling, Living, Thriving, Travel, by Oneika Raymond

The beauty of seeing the world is that, as a consequence, I continually have contact with people who are diametrically opposed to myself; people whose race, colour, and creed make them different to me in every way possible. These foreign environments lead me to interact with people, male and female, that I ordinarily would not have come to know had I stayed in my bubble back in my hometown. I roll in different social circles when I’m abroad, circles that cut across race, class, and economic status lines.

JQAbroad: Working and Living it Up in Korea, and Why You Should Put Some Serious Thought Into It, Too.

Jan 23, in Guests of the Inner Sanctum, Travel, by "JQAbroad"

To all the black women out there, instead of wasting your time reading on the latest statistic of why â€œwe are not marriageableâ€ (lies on top of lies) or arguing with trolls online, why not spend that energy on what you want? If you want to live abroad seek jobs that provide that? If you want a boyfriend or husband, spend time seeking that, if you want a new job, spend time doing that as well. This year 2012, black women should be singing a new tune, blogging on newer topics, and sharing their fun, fulfilled, happy lives online.
