Short Change

Professionally, I've been many things: Cashier. Sales Associate. Teacher. Promotional Model. Reporter. Journalist. Urban Marketing Coordinator. Communications Specialist. YMCA Unit Director. Etc.

For many years, I mistakenly used my job title do answer the common question, "What do you do?" In the present, I set the titles aside. I educate and mentor children. I weave ideas into words. I comfort, entertain and inspire. I release my aggression and express my thoughts through prose and poetry.

Using simple titles may shortchange the true beauty of what you do. So, in making this short change, I glorify my position. That's all.
