FANNIE FOUR EYES: YOUNG, BLACK AND AMAZING

FANNIE FOUR EYES: YOUNG, BLACK AND AMAZING
by Constance C.R.White

1. Ask yourself, What do I want to be doing at 40?
2. Make a plan and work it. You can tweak it along the way.
3. Reach out. You don't have to do it alone. We're here for you.
4. Save a bit every week, even a single dollar.
5. Don't accept negative things others say about you, if they have an observation, tell them to make it constructive.
6. You are responsible for your actions.
7. Video dancer is not a profession.
8. Be aware of the ways pop culture may try to diminish you. Reject them.


9. Be patient with people's shortcomings but not their bad behavior.
10. Know that you can love someone and still walk away.
11. Any job is better than no job. It's not forever. It's merely a stepping stone.
12. Whatever you dream, there's a Black woman who has already done it.
13. You can do it, too.
