All Attorneys are not of the same caliber

First of all, I am no one's "nigger" nor "nigga."  I will not be mistreated nor disrespected by anyone regardless of race nor social status. I have too much education and training to have any type of inferiority complex about myself.  So with that said, I have encountered attorneys that seem to think that all Blacks are "ignorant."  So they take our money and then they try to make us feel worthless and dumb . . .

I can not imagine if I did not have my credentials to back my stance, but regardless of education and social status, if you are paying money, then your opinion should be respected.

The pictures above were from a brochure that an attorney mailed to me prior to our initial "face to face" meeting.  I was appalled by her brochure.  I knew that this attorney was not going to be a good fit for me.  I immediately cancelled my formal consultation with her.

I can hardly believe the audacity to send out a brochure worded in that manner. I also paid another attorney for a consultation, and he was sooo bossy that the consultation was like a "mental war."  He tried to control the "information flow," and I was trying to get my questions answered.  After the consultation, I mailed him a follow-up note letting him know that I was displeased with my treatment, and I would not be securing his services.  I would rather pay an attorney triple his fee for respect and knowlege of the laws.

I encourage people to only patronize attorneys that give them respect and show genuine interest in understanding their desired outcome.  No one should feel inferior nor degraded.  The best attorneys are "older" with decades of experience and their hourly fee may be $300 to $400 per hour as far as North Carolina is concerned.

I have paid various different attorneys over my lifetime.  I would love to share my experiences with others if it will save them some time and money.

Return to Stand-up Comedy: Benita Blocker

The Whitest Black Woman in Comedy is coming back to the Stage with new material and a fresh attitude.

When I first started comedy about ten years ago, I was working in corporate America, and there was nothing funny about it at the time.  I was trying to use borrowed material.  I felt like a small fish in a big world.

I am now over age 40, and I am a big fish in a small world.  I am full-time self-employed, and funny things are always happening!

I have been performing standup comedy for my hair clients for the last five years or more as I was mastering my hairstyling craft.

Needless to say, I have been quiet for about a decade.  I have a lot on my chest.  So just like Kevin Hart's movie "Let me Explain."

It's time!  Please follow "Benita Blocker" on twitter to see my tour schedule . . . for open mic performances - that is. LOL!  My hair clientele is still my first priority!

Yours in Laughter,
Benita

Plus Size Considerations

To the restaurants with Booth Seating:  Plus size patrons usually prefer a table over a booth because the tables at the booths are not adjustable  in order to comfortably bend over to eat.

To the public bathrooms construction teams:  When the bathroom stalls are too small, plus size people have to stand behind the toilet just to get the stall door closed.  The handicap stall is usually a more comfortable option.

To the fairgrounds and amusement parks:  Some rides are not big enough for larger "butts" and legs.  The swings and bumper cars do not seem to be built for larger patrons.  An amusement park for "plus size" patrons would be a huge success!  Any investors?

To the personal trainers:  Plus size clients are carrying extra "weights" naturally.  Please consider this when designing workout routines.

These tidbits are designed to assist the slim folks to understand the dilemnas of the plus size community.
