Black businesses leaders undervalued in America

Hey everyone and happy Monday. It's been an eventful couple of weeks in the Watkins household. A couple of weeks ago, some of us caught COVID and have been quarantining at home since then. Today is my first day back to work and I feel completely overwhelmed. But, in times like this, I like to take it back to my Pomodoro technique basics and tackle things 25 minutes at a time. :-)

I'm most bummed about having to cancel my trips to Omaha to hang out at Willie Barney's conference and also to Atlantic City for the Angel Capital Association's national conference. I know more gathering opportunities will come about, but I completely missed out on a week of deep learning! Oh well...
