She is a dual-degree graduate student at New York University, where she attends both its business and law schools. “I’m always in need of sleep, but I’m OK with sacrificing sleep,” said Ms. Scott, 26, who grew up in Harlem. “I wanted to help other Black women have an easier, better experience than I had,” she said. “Most people are like, ‘It’s crazy you’re doing all of this,’ but they’re not surprised knowing who I am. I’m surpassing society’s expectations of me.”Ms. Scott lives in a two-bedroom apartment in campus housing in NoHo in Manhattan.

Her voice sounds utterly guileless as she sings about lust, betrayal, revenge and healing. 3. boygenius, ‘The Record’Synergy reigns in boygenius, the alliance of the singer-songwriters Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus. Paul Simon, ‘Seven Psalms’“Seven Psalms” comes across as a farewell album from Paul Simon, 82. Simon sings about mortality as a “great migration” and extols the presence and purpose of “The Lord,” as the biblical psalms do. The songs on her second album, “Guts,” combine pop’s concision and melody with rock’s potential to erupt.

My faith was huge,” said the 46-year-old woman, fearing her son would be forcibly recruited by a criminal organization. For many migrants like Hernández, their faith has been essential for coping with their challenging circumstances. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said in early October that about 10,000 migrants per day were heading to the U.S. border. Agape welcomes migrants of any faith or ideology, but everyone is encouraged to attend services on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. “Imagine the experience of faith,” Rivera said.

Matt Higgins' "number one" piece of advice for finding a highly successful mentor: Don't ask anyone to mentor you. The "Shark Tank" investor and RSE Ventures CEO doesn't like it when people cold-message him with mentorship requests, he said during Tuesday's CNBC Make It: Your Money virtual event. You could ask Higgins, for example: "I heard on 'Shark Tank' that you struggle with impostor syndrome. Putting ego aside and asking for help isn't embarrassing, Higgins said. Higgins isn't the only "Shark Tank" star to weigh in on the value of mentorship.

These costly trips and travel perks often went unreported on the justice’s financial disclosure forms, ProPublica said in its investigation. Lynne Sladky/APProPublica interviewed more than 100 people, including staff that would have worked some of the trips that Thomas took. Thomas did not respond to ProPublica’s detailed list of questions for its report, nor did Novelly. None of the Thomas benefactors highlighted in the new report appear to have had direct business in front of the Supreme Court, ProPublica said. Thomas intends to amend his financial disclosure forms, a source close to the justice previously told CNN, to at least reflect Crow’s 2014 purchase of Thomas’ mother’s home.

I've had the opportunity to mentor several people during my 20-year career in tech as a senior leader at companies like Amazon and eBay. To start your mentorship off right, come prepared with specific, time-based goals for what you'd like to accomplish. Without knowing why you want a promotion, what the promotion duties look like, and when you want to achieve a promotion, your mentor won't be able to give the specific feedback you need. Without this practice, not only will you not make progress, but you'll end up re-hashing the same conversation from the previous meeting. This will be a waste of time for you and your mentor and quickly result in a frustrating and unsuccessful mentorship.

It’s a problem that the guests at the Black on Black dinner, and many others, hope to change. “What we’re trying to do is change what leadership looks like and bring more people into the wine industry.

Connection and communicationA lack of communication between the predominantly White-owned wine industry and minority communities has also slowed diversity efforts, several dinner guests agreed.

Since starting in March, Puls says she's earned roughly $120,000 selling three digital products: an ebook, an email course, and an ebook template. A big social media presence isn't required to find successPuls says social media is her biggest driver of customer traffic. That said, she's seen plenty of people without massive social media followings find success selling digital products. While she says most people sell digital products through platforms like Etsy, using her own website is ideal for her. Given her success with digital products, Puls says she's often asked why she hasn't made more of them.

After reading the script for "The Social Network," Peter Thiel didn't like how the film portrayed him. But for some Thiel fellows, the program ended up being "disastrous," according to a new biography about the billionaire entrepreneur and venture capitalist. The staff failed to act quickly enough to help either of them, past fellows told Chafkin. I just need someone to hang out with," one Thiel fellow told Chafkin. One fellow told Chafkin that "they'd come to regard their time with Thiel not as some profound intellectual exercise, but rather, 'a super-smart PR move.'"
