  Dating co-workers in professional work settings is inappropriate. When employers hire me to provide a specific service as a consultant, I will always remain professional. I do not believe in dating my former co-workers of the opposite sex. I will remove myself from the setting first when I have noticed that I developed such attraction. Making a bet and bribing co-workers to go against their standards is unethical. If you have an interest in me, then you should have asked for my contact information. Numerous people do not know me at all. Contact me only by phone at 202-384-5925 Preference - single straight male over the age of 30 It is not the past and I am not interested in dating women nor boys.

My boldness allows me to navigate complex situations with confidence, while my beauty reflects the strength and resilience that I carry within.

  Quote found on the Internet To understand me, is to understand my entire past since I was a student at NationHouse in 1978. My mission throughout my career has been to constantly strive for excellence and to continually expand my knowledge in order to make a positive impact in all that I do. I have developed a wide range of expertise and skills that have equipped me to handle various challenges and projects effectively.  Throughout my career as a consultant, I have achieved numerous milestones and successes that have stood as a testament to my dedication and hard work.

    Quote found on the Internet  “On November 5, 1994, Washington, D.C. witnessed a momentous occasion that would have lasting implications for the political framework of the United States. This date signified a crucial turning point during a period characterized by substantial transformation and evolution within the nation's governance. The energy in the capital was palpable, mirroring the widespread feelings across the country that were influencing the trajectory of American politics. In 1994, the consulting industry experienced a surge in activity as organizations sought to adapt to the evolving political environment. The changing dynamics in Congress prompted many businesses and non-profits to engage consultants who could offer insights into the implications of potential policy shifts. This demand was particularly pronounced in areas such as telecommunications and environmental policy, where impending reforms required expert guidance. As a result, consulting firms exp...

  Quote found on the Internet It was not until former president George W. Bush (1989 - 1993) that I did not become a consultant in 1992.  “The 41st president of the United States, George H.W. Bush had a significant influence on the consulting industry, particularly through his extensive network and experience in both public service and the private sector. Bush's belief in the importance of strategic partnerships and stakeholder engagement encouraged consulting firms to adopt similar methodologies in their practices. As a result, many firms began to prioritize relationship management and strategic advisory roles, aligning their services with the needs of both public and private sector clients. This shift not only expanded the scope of consulting services but also elevated the industry's status as a critical player in shaping policy and business strategies. Furthermore, the legacy of George H.W. Bush's presidency can be seen in the evolution of consulting practices that prior...

  Quote found on the Internet The name calling is uncalled for. For those that are unaware, I was 4 - 13 from 1980 - 1989. In order for someone to become aware of something they have to be introduced to the subject at hand.  “Ronald Reagan's presidency had a significant influence on the consulting industry, particularly through his administration's policies that emphasized deregulation and a free-market economy. His approach to governance encouraged businesses to seek external expertise to navigate the complexities of a rapidly changing economic landscape. As a result, consulting firms experienced a surge in demand for their services, as organizations sought to adapt to new market conditions, optimize operations, and implement innovative strategies. This shift not only expanded the scope of consulting but also elevated the status of consultants as essential partners in corporate decision-making.”

I grew up in America and in Ward 7 neighborhood. I grew up examining the colors, textures, and materials available to me searching for answers to the many questions floating within me. I grew up in a household without my siblings and father absence. Thus, I consider myself like an only child and alone in a world filled with racism, discrimination, prejudice, violence and corruption. I express my experiences that I have encountered through my visual artwork. Painting the world, society and community that I have witnessed as a black female in America using dull, vibrant, and dark colors. You ask me time and time again, how was growing up in America for me? I say all the time, it was an experience filled with sorrow, trauma, grief, hope, and absence. Furthermore, I grew up during the time when Washington, DC was chocolate city.  Growing Up in America.Digital art created on canvas.

      Imaginative Salvation.Digital art created on canvas. October 21, 2024. Afrika Abney  Yesterday, I found this quote using a quote app. Digital art is created using technology.  I have used my imagination to create this digital abstract painting. As I have mentioned numerous times, I have no idea what you are discussing because I am minding my own business. Sometimes, my ideas wake me up from my restful sleep, but I do wind up going back to sleep. The ideas of inclusiveness, sincerity, and compassion where racism and discrimination no longer exists. 

  Core Attitude. Digital art created on canvas. October 20, 2024. Afrika Abney  This morning, I found this quote using a quote app and the author was not listed.  My core values that are embedded within my attitude include honesty, trust, loyalty, dedication, devotion, commitment, integrity and transparency. These are just some of my core values. I chose shades of brown not only because of the color of my skin, but because brown has different meanings.
