System of Ethics
A businessman keeps his sanity in two worlds.
In taking seriously his position as a black father and a billionaire, he kept his business and personal lives intact because of his rigid system of ethics. His virtues in the professional realm actually bled into his familial life. Once he realized that he would be a cool kid to his wife and child as a billionaire, he knew that his business would always be in line with morality.
In his mind he never considered embezzlement or Ponzi schemes or infidelity. All of this he took down on a piece of stationary and threw it in a trash can. It felt right.

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

Everyone Thought I Was Strong — Here’s What They Didn’t See
Everyone Thought I Was Strong. They said it was a fact, not an opinion. As if strength was something visible, measurable — something you could verify by looking at me. I kept a job. I showed up on time. I laughed at jokes. I listened when people talked. I didn’t stand out in public.

One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!
