About Us
I’ve always loved the magic and power of words. As an early and voracious reader, I learned as a small child that words have the power to captivate, educate, heal, encourage, and so much more. AmPopsy was born out of a desire to connect, empower, and elevate professional women of color by harnessing the power of words through articles that uplift us, stories that connect us, and information that helps us achieve our wildest dreams in a world that, too often, beats us down for daring to think that we deserve more in the places and spaces that we inhabit.
I hope that this online magazine can be a resource that helps all of us find an avenue to harness our individual and collective power, discover and maintain financial freedom, and lead fulfilling, rewarding, and empowered lives. From practical advice and tools for navigating the unique challenges that we face as women of color in the workplace to helpful lifestyle articles on topics such as overcoming past trauma, rebounding from failure, how to have more fulfilling personal relationships, and everything in between – AmPopsy is a website where we, as women of color, are heard, seen, and celebrated.
Welcome to AmPopsy. I hope that you’ll stop by often.

Supporting and Uplifting Black Women
It’s no secret that black women continue to bear the brunt of society’s ills. From pay disparities to the lack of access to leadership opportunities in corporate America despite being more than qualified, we are subjected to countless negative stereotypes and microaggressions that constantly chip away at our self-esteem and self-worth. And while this is in no way new or surprising, it does reinforce the need for spaces and places that not only protect us, but uplift, inspire, and empower us.
Surviving the Rona – Your Guide to Weathering Covid’s Latest Surge
Where am I supposed to find an N95 mask? Do I need to see a doctor? Do I have Covid or is this just the flu? Or do I have Flurona?
These are just a few of the questions that I had when I recently found myself in bed with a fever, chills, and a sore throat. With Omicron still raging across the nation and flu season being in full effect, it’s perfectly understandable if you’re a little confused about what to do if you find yourself coming down with something that may or may not be Covid.
A Playlist to Start Your New Year Off Right…
The New Year is always a time of hope – hope for new beginnings, hope for a year of endless possibilities, and hope that the future will be brighter than the past. But, starting anew also means that you’re leaving some things behind. Whether that’s a relationship that no longer serves you or a job that you’ve simply outgrown, starting over can be both wildly exciting and immensely terrifying. To help you tame your fears as you move into 2022, we’ve created a playlist that helps you step into this new year with a renewed sense of self, confidence, and an abundance of love for all that we, as black women, bring to the table this year and every year.
New Year, Newish Me!
AmPopsy…It’s that time again!! You know what it is…it comes every year like clockwork- Happy New Year!! And much like preparing your annual tax return, it is a time for an endless supply of hope that you will receive a kind of windfall in life, quietly fearing the truth will be quite the opposite. But alas, it’s only the first week, so let’s stay hopeful and ambitious, folks!
