Happy Friday! It’s time to wind down and get ready for the weekend. Mines will be busy helping my daughter host a back to school brunch which I think is so cute. What will you be doing this weekend? If you are new here welcome! This is the Gullah Porch. We invite you to join us on the porch every Friday (the ones we can get to cause life be lifing) to get some wisdom for your weekend, read some black news, support a small business, and get answers to questions people ask me all the time. If you missed the last one you can find it here.
Some wisdom
Knowing when to leave is so important. This goes for the job, the relationship, and the party you may attend this weekend.
Small Business Shout-out
I’m a tea girl I’ll drink coffee but give me a good tea. This company is one of my favorites!

I hate that they judge you based on your weight and not your talent. This is sad but happens often I’m sure of it.
Ask the Geechee Gal
Q: What’s a great gift idea to give to a freshman going to college?
Money. If you want to do something else find out what they love and base a gift around that. Getting someone to write them a good resume or even doing a resume website for them is a great start. Makes them stand out from the crowd and they can give that to people they network with in college as a starting point to build and get to know people. If they love clothes get them a good tailor and have some nice pieces tailored to them. If they love food get them a doordash account and pay for it for a few months (set up a 2 times a week limit though cause whew they will hit you over the head)
Sound off in the comments! If you have a business you want to share or join in on the question of the week, please use our comment section to come to the porch. You can also email me info@shegeechee.com to ask a question without using your name.
