NCBAE’s AfroFuturist Lab & Living Museum ✨ Dreaming Forward: Vision & Value ✨ Participants of the Afrofuturist Arts Lab & Living Museum tapped into their inner poet and literary artist and stepped boldly into their futures -writing letters from their future selves, dreaming out loud, and grounding those visions with real financial foundations. 💫 Together with guest facilitator Shauntel Dobbins of FinanciallyU, we explored what it means to not just imagine thriving, but to actually build it with sound expert advice - one vision, one financial plan, one dream at a time. From powerful reflections shared in a community conversation to practical money moves, today reminded us that Afrofuturism isn’t just about sci-fi or fantasy - it’s about everyday people shaping extraordinary futures. 🖤 🎥 Check out what participants had to say about the session and how they’re creating the future now. #AfrofuturistArtsLab #art #entertainment #AI #finances #tech #LivingMuseum #NCBAE #FutureSelves #FinanciallyU #BlackFutures #DreamingForward #ArtMeetsAction

🔐 Tech Tuesday: BWIC Week 2 — Internet, Networks & Career Branding Week 2 of the Black Women in Cyber (BWIC) cohort did NOT come to play. Our session blended technical fundamentals with real‑world career strategy. ✍🏾Here are my biggest takeaways: 💼 Resume & Career Clarity ✅Speak business, not just jargon — hiring managers want to understand your impact, not your acronyms. ✅Get clear on your career goals: What do you actually want to do day‑to‑day? ✅If your name is long or hard to pronounce, using initials + last name on your résumé is perfectly acceptable. ✅Always include your expected graduation date for current education. 🌐 Internet & Network Foundations 📍Understanding how the internet works is the foundation of cybersecurity. 📍We covered how data moves, what networks actually are, and why every device, protocol, and connection matters. 📍The session broke down key concepts in a way that made the “big picture” finally make sense — especially how attackers exploit weak points in networks. 🎯 My Personal Reflection Cybersecurity isn’t just about tools — it’s about communication, clarity, and understanding how systems connect. This week reminded me that strong technical skills start with strong fundamentals, and strong careers start with intentional branding. BWIC is stretching me, sharpening me, and giving me the language to show up confidently in this field. 📣 For My Career Changers, New Cert Holders & Aspiring Cyber Pros If you just earned your Security+, completed a cyber bootcamp, or you’re thinking about transitioning into tech or cybersecurity — I can help you: 💪🏾Strengthen your career brand 🏗️Build a job‑ready LinkedIn presence 📃Align your résumé with your new goals 🖥️Position yourself for real interviews and real opportunities This is exactly the work I do every day through Let Me Ask Monet™ — and I’d love to support you as you step into your next chapter. Same time next week — Tech Tuesday continues. #BWIC #BlackWomenInCyber #CybersecurityJourney #WomenInCyber #CyberCareer #TechTransition #SecurityPlus #NewToCyber #CyberBeginners #CyberFundamentals #TechCareers #CareerBranding #ResumeTips #JobSearchStrategy #WorkforceDevelopment #ThePivotQueen #LetMeAskMonet

🔥 $5.1 Trillion In Buying Power — Now What? ESSENCE Fest Panel Urges Greater Collaboration Among Black And Brown Businesses: "Leaders from the worlds of tech, fashion and civil rights say economic equity is possible—but only if communities align, invest, and act together." (July) "The message was loud and clear: Black and Brown communities already have the economic power—they just need to use it together." "Moderated by Forbes senior writer Jabari Young Jabari Young, the panel at The Global Black Economic Forum brought together three leaders from the worlds of entertainment, fashion and civil rights: Robert Hartwell, host of HBO Max’s “Breaking New Ground,” Juan Proaño Juan Proaño, CEO of League of United Latin American Citizens and Elis Clementino Elis Clementino, head of strategic relationships at  NVH Studios." "To kick things off, Young asked each speaker to describe the state of Black and Brown businesses in one word. Proaño chose 'assault,' citing recent attacks on DEI policies and federal funding as direct threats to marginalized communities." "Proaño made the case for intersectionality, calling for a united front between Black and Latino communities. 'The combined buying power is $5.1 trillion,' he shared. 'We have more power when we go to the table together.'" https://lnkd.in/gea4-Dyw
