Hi, thanks for stopping by for my "Grand Opening"!
I want to take the time to introduce myself, and I'd love to get to know some of you as well.
My name is Elise, and I've been working independently for close to a year now. After working what most folks call "a real job" for most of my adult life, I'm actually happier than ever building my career as a professional independent worker - aka freelancer.
My goal with this blog is talk about any and everything related to freelancing. Even though the blog is titled Black Freelancer (more on why I chose that name in just a bit...), there will be content here for everyone to consume, enjoy, and even debate. So, go ahead and click to "subscribe". You won't regret it one bit. I promise -- and if you do, you can always yell at me. I'm a big girl, I can handle it.
So why Black Freelancer? Well, the simplest answer is to fulfill a need that is missing in the online community. There is no "go-to" resource for freelancers/independent workers/etc. of color to connect with each other. I want this to be that hub, and like I said before, we are an inclusive community and everyone is welcome to read and participate (last time I checked it's a free country anyway).
Keep up with me over the next few days as I get into the swing of blogging, let me know that you're reading, and if there's anything you want to hear.
Talk to y'all soon! :-)
