Being a Deaf/HOH Entrepreneur
How it began: Dec. 2011, I had just graduated UT-Arlington with my MBA, and realized I had zero prospects for employment. Twelve job applications and zero call backs later, I began to panic. As I faked happiness during my graduation ceremony and dinner, my anxiety was at an all-time high, but I didn’t want anyone to know how stressed I truly was. For that reason, when my college friend congratulated me and told me about an internship at her job, I jumped at the opportunity (not caring if it was an unpaid one).

Roadhouse Ranch
My Story: Hallween, year 2020. During the five years since my move from Chicago I continued to make a living from home by learning dozens of new skills and adapting to a market very different from what I was accustomed to. When you have kids, no family, no childcare, and no money you have to think outside of the box to put food on the table. The demand for cloth diapers dwindled and we had to start over again.

In the Beginning
In this crazy world of ours there are so many things that can go right and so many that can go wrong. With the current pandemic situation there is so much changing for everyone that it is so hard to find your feet. As a 90's baby I had thought that I had seen everything, known everything I needed to know, but man was I sorely wrong. Growing up I always thought being an adult would be so easy; being able to do things without having to get permission first, eating what I want when I wanted, going to school (or not) but using this mindset I lost my way, lost my center.

I'm A Healthcare Worker
As a healthcare worker you don't always see the rewards in what you do. I don't have a trophy or even get and honorable mention from my superiors but I know the reward comes from a place no one can see. It is inside me the way it makes me feel so wonderful to know that my skills as a nurse assistant helps people to start the healing and to help them to go forward. It only take so little really just to hold a hand, or listen to them and let them know everything is going to be alright. I have worked as a Certified Nurse Assistant for nearly twenty-four years so I have seen the changes through the different patients and staff. The most important part of my job is the relationship that I build when meeting patients. You hope that they are comfortable and are willing to trust me from my approach. It's a vulnerable place for a person to allow you to do something for them and trust you will do it with thoughtfully. Nothing prepared me for the emotional battle I had to encounter as I deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.

Writers Block
Dear Friend, Under normal circumstances, writing is hard enough as it is. One might think that having to stay at home full time would increase your productivity and allow you to finally, finally, sit down and knock out that book that you have been meaning to write, but simply never get the time.

Working With A Disability
I was just in an interview online for a work from home job and encountered a situation that is not new to me, or probably for most people who have a disability who are seeking employment. Whether it be a job online, or in a physical location, people with disabilities are often looked over for positions of employment that they are completely capable of doing simply because they have a disability.
