We all know that one person who any and every single time we open our mouths has to correct us, play devil's advocate, move the goal post, or overall add something unnecessary just to hear the sound of their own voice.

In a video that broke Girl Talk TikTok and was met with strong feelings, a young woman posted a video expressing vulnerability about being jealous of an ex-friend. This video seemingly broke the internet with many weighing in to share their thoughts about having a jealous friend, the danger of jealous friends, etc. What she was actually describing was envy not jealousy but more importantly, I didn’t see anyone talking about what what the most obvious to me: the root of jealousy and envy which on the surface may seem wanting or desire but to me reflect a lack of personal accountability. Let’s talk about it!#envy #jealousy #friends 2:38 the jealousy video that broke the internet10:29 jealousy vs envy12:53 everyone has haters but no one is a hater14:37 what do you do with jealousy?17:41 popcorn culture of people addicted to comfort21:20 the world that is vs the world that should25:07 is this a generational thing27:50 the privilege of it all34:14 children with no resources become envious & jealous adults?38:26 in closing

When everything is breaking news, NOTHING is breaking news. In an era of virality where legacy media is competing with podcasters, influencers, and content creators, journalism, accurate reporting, and unbiased news reporting are a thing of the past as everyone is chasing being first rather than correct. It is important now more than ever to develop your media literacy and this video discusses not only how but why this is so important.#medialiteracy #viral #media 0:41 media sensationalism is NOTHING new1:43 shifting media patterns2:35 media literacy3:19 echo chambers9:14 rage bait9:57 generational trends in media consumption14:10 the attack on media 16:05 what's the solution?25:34 in closing

Last year, the media barely reported on the estimated 300,000 to 350,000 Black women being pushed out of the workforce. When it was reported on, it was framed as these women "leaving" the workforce rather than the reality that there were a series of intentional policy choices in both private and public industry that forced them out.I am one of the Black women however who left, by choice. Choosing to leave a six-figure job in a time of economic uncertainty is not a decision that is made lightly however when it comes to your peace being compromised, the decision is pretty clear. This may or may not be a forever thing, time will tell but if I were to ever return to corporate, there are a few things I would do differently and look for in a work environment.#corporate #corporatelife #corporateculture 0:00 intro1:46 entering corporate - 20095:41 why I left corporate - 202515:24 who walks away from a six-figure job?!20:07 what would I need to go back?32:18 scarcity or desperation keep you complacent38:16 leave sooner, it will NOT get better41:48 in closing

A conversation was sparked on TikTok about the decline in customer service and why people don't say "hi" anymore which snowballed into a larger conversation about the sharp decline of third spaces, loss of village, community building, and the loneliness epidemic. This conversation is more nuanced than allowed on TikTok so I wanted to do a longer video to flesh out my thoughts and provide commentary about what I think is happiness and how we improve things before it's too late.
