Diary of a Hairstylist
Today I feel compelled to share my thoughts. I just watched a video made by a Hairstylist in GA, one of the first states to re-open salons during the pandemic. It was extremely well done and informative. It shows all of the policies and procedures put in place to "safely" open a salon during the pandemic. This particular stylist works out of a single chair suite, not unlike my old studio in Hamilton, Ontario.

A Standard Above the Trees
A bad tooth had kept me up all night. I wasn’t too concerned with the lack of sleep, because apart from the occasional lifting, bending and writing, my work didn’t require a whole lot of physical effort. Despite sleep, I knew I could keep my clients happy and engaged.

From Beard Oil to Hand Sanitiser
I have always loved documentary. It's the most objective form of journalism; the camera tells the truth where words fail. It leads you in directions you'd never thought you go, to places you never thought you'd be. It truely captures what is.

I made a sitcom for nothing
I had a career in comedy for about two years. After working for nothing for about the same amount of time in community radio, my friends and I got our big break, taking part in a pilot for Australia's ABC-TV, and getting a gig on Radio National. I also started writing, on my own, for a mainstream comedy show on a commercial network. But it started to unravel almost as soon as it began. The list of disasters is fairly long, and we had no control over any of it: a first-time director who didn't bother to tell us he didn't understand any of our jokes, and then proceeded to edit the punchlines out of all our filmed material (there was no opportunity to re-cut); an incredibly toxic environment in the TV writers' room, in which I, the only female writer among an 18-strong team, faced sexual harassment from three writers, one of whom was my boss; strong resistance from fellow female performers who used their influence to discourage producers from hiring me, reasoning that there were not enough female parts to go around; and finally a whispering campaign, started by a writer who had a personal issue with me, telling everyone I was 'difficult'.

I Left My Job During a Pandemic
I started in January, moved to a new city, got a new apartment, and made my boyfriend get a new job, so he could move with me. All this just to leave said job three and a half months later. It wasn’t planned; I would’ve stayed longer!

Quarantine Diaries
It's May 5th and I've been working from home for over 6 weeks (practically since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak), it's been going well. Due to 90% of the company I work for being put on the Furlough scheme I had taken on extra responsibility, looking after other members of staff, and generally proving my worth and what I can do.

Jesus
JESUS Fifty-eight year-old Jesus Martinez is about to go to the men's locker room when his boss, Mr. Rodney Brown stops him. Sixty-six and from Jamaica, Mr. Brown is not only head of security but runs the Riverdale Senior Center better than Dr. Piccolo himself. Because his mother was a nurse in England, Rodney Brown grew up in a hospital. He keeps an eye on JC like an older brother. "Hey, JC, Ms G. wants to see you pronto. They just moved her to Ward D." Jesus knew right then and there that Ms. G was not doing well.

NYC entrepreneur
As a Peruvian immigrant, I was fortunate to arrive to the USA, attend college and never faced discrimination ... until months ago. While working as an architect in New York City, I decided to open my own spa business. I truly found happiness by focusing on wellness and helping others with honesty. My employees were treated as family, my clients as friends and spa guests with so much honesty and respect. I heard upsetting stories the staff experienced on a daily basis, such discriminative insults by neighbors on the streets and on subways; however, I never faced a personal situation myself. My team of twenty members stayed at my business for decades. I found my true happiness focusing on Health and Wellness, being honest to my clients and creating a pleasant work environment between my team.
