Naw...use the private sector money to fund your dreams....
This is a problem many people have, they want to live their dreams and lack the common financial sense to do so.

Exactly. She could have still kept her job as a starting point for financial resources and supplement her outside interests.
Elijah looking like he’s been saving money since the year 600 a.d. ; just out here donating funds, looking happy and content af to do it too. Shyt, that’s the real story. I need to know more about Elijah. That’s the financial thinkpiece right there. Looking bummy but he’s rich enough to give out money.
He’s sitting on his own generational wealth from savings, not a care in the world. What did Elijah do?

I needed to see this for myself.
Keep your day job. Let your "yessir boss corporate/government" gig fund your real dreams...save and invest. Maybe even partner/collaborate up and let others run your business dreams until its truly self sustaining.
Grandpa Breh got a nice crib and some gilf poon if she in the mood, while he can still hit the DC streets and live his best urban hippy faux rastafarian life ....

I hope Elijah is at least getting some p*ssy
Big thing that I took from that video was age discrimination starts at age 35.
Yeah plus she waited too long to take a risk like that. That’s something you do in your 20s and 30s so when you fail, you have time to recover.
It's more nuanced than that. There's age discrimination is if you've been out of the workforce for a while and you're on the older side. Especially if you're on the older side looking to get into a role that's mid-career rather than later career.
At her age, her gigs should be more so transfer of knowledge type consulting gigs. Had she taken little to no breaks in her career, she could serve as a international relations consultant in DC or the like. She could even teach part time. The issue, at least from what I can tell, is that she left her "career" job at the World Bank too early.
Exactly. Either that or she should have run it on the side.
With 200k, she could have hired a curator PT to run it and write the whole thing off as a business expense and keeping the funding going...
My old boss absolutely hated IT contracting, but he needed the money to fund his web company (which was his hobby turned passion)....
From his own words....took him 15 years to get there....
Lost me at being recruited for and leaving highly selective $200K job at The World Bank in DC, to opening up a boutique store to sell African art as a sole source of income; while using all of her accumulated retirement and savings to fund that hobby while having an MBA from Harvard and Masters in Intl. Studies from Johns Hopkins. All those degrees and knowledge but no common or practical sense to make it make sense.
Yep she chased passion instead of money
. My college professor once told me, "only rich kids/people should follow their passion in this economy, the rest literally cannot afford to as passion/interest doesn't pay the bills"

So you didn't hear the part about the 2008 crash....... her type of jobs started getting paid less and she started experiencing age discrimination

So nobody actually listened to the video..... her pursuing her dreams isn't the reason why she is having financial hardships
