Alma Angel never considered herself a writer. In June 2020, that changed when she received an email with an opportunity of a lifetime. With the support of the Portfolio Expansion Project (PEP) led by a Georgetown business school professor, she began her journey to becoming a published author. Writing a book wasn’t in her plans, but she took the plunge after receiving feedback from her professor. On top of her MBA studies, she worked on the book for almost ten…
It’s no secret that reading is good for you. Fiction can help you build leadership skills, poetry has the power to heal, and self-help can change your life for the better. I’ve been a lifelong reader, but one thing missing in my life was a reading community. I’ll often read heart-wrenching books that make me question the meaning of life, and all I want is to talk to someone about it. So when I came across The Modern Immigrant Book…
I think it’s safe to say we didn’t see 2020 coming! I don’t know about you, but I sure didn’t. I should’ve known 2020 was going to be a rollercoaster because the morning of January 1st, I experienced the worst turbulence of my life.

I was six months in at my first job out of college and I was sitting next to my seventeen-year-old coworker, who somehow got the memo. But, I didn’t. From that moment on, I promised myself I would never be in that situation ever…
What comes to mind when you think of the word shortcut? Is it positive or negative? Depending on the context, the word can have both positive and negative connotations. If you’re running a marathon and you see someone deviate from the route in an attempt to reach the finish line sooner, you might not be happy. (I know I wouldn’t be.) If you develop a system that saves the company money, you could be recognized by your manager—and possibly get…
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t think I could learn anything new from yet another personal finance book. I’ve read a lot of these books since starting my money journey and I didn’t need another “money guru” reprimanding me about my matcha green tea latte addiction. (It’s what sparks joy, let me be!) We all value different things in life and the way we spend our money is a direct reflection of our values. Her Money Matters by Jen…
