Podcasts about kenesha

Young Kenesha knew from the time that she was a teacher's pet in school that she wanted to be “the good one”. Growing up in a life that she hated as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, Kenesha continued trying to be “the good one”, but somehow found herself in situations where she was being backed into corners by people seeking to punish her, both at home and in the cult. Over and over again she would find that even being the good one wasn't a protection in a world where nobody could never be good enough.

When a person leaves the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses they may still find themselves attached in ways that they had not considered from a legal standpoint. This interview with a legal professional gives us insight into various topics, from going from our former no blood stance to a pro blood stance, what we need to consider when it comes to wills and insurance, as well as the topic of emancipation for minors.

You can't earn more deductions once the year is complete.There are several things you should be doing, but we are diving into the top 3!BookkeepingSetting aside tax moneyDeductionsThese three things all work together throughout the year!Let's dive into bookkeeping. What exactly is it? This means using an accounting software to track inflow and outflow of transactions that are categorized. Also, make sure you have a separate business account. Everything should be separate for tracking and potential auditing.Quote: You cannot manage what you don't track!Second tip is setting aside money for taxes. Just because you charge $100 for a service, that doesn't mean it is all yours. Some covers expenses and some covers taxes. The best policy is to set aside 25-30% of your income in a separate bank account. Best part is, once taxes are due, you won't need to have a payment plan. By doing this, you will have a stack of cash that is available to cover that bill. Make sure you listen to this section—so many good tips and info about setting this up and what can happen without doing it!The third tip is maximizing tax deductions. Most people are missing out here and it blows my mind! There are some simple questions about your business that can earn you some extra deductions. Mileage is a big one! We discredit how much those small trips add up to.We need to flip our mindset on deductions. It is a smaller list to view things that you can't deduct, rather than what you can deduct. Plus, there is no penalty for making a deduction that maybe shouldn't be there when you file. This is where bookkeeping comes into play. Track and account for EVERYTHING. An accurate record allows you to take a deduction or credit for it.Homework for you is to get your three steps set and get caught up! Make sure you get Kenesha's guide on tax deductions!

In this Episode of The Spa Strong Podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kenesha Coleman. Kenesha is a Certified Public Accountant based in Chicago, IL. She is the owner of Coleman Tax where she works specifically with Beauty Entrepreneurs to help them stay on top of all their tax and accounting needs. Understanding the ins and outs of accounting and taxes is not easy, and it isn’t something we learn about in esthetics school. Often times, estheticians face issues with their taxes and with staying on top of their expenses and where their money is going. That’s where a CPA like Kenesha comes in! After working as an auditor for the IRS, Kenesha realized that too few small businesses understand the complicated process of filing taxes and taking full advantage of write-offs or other money-saving opportunities. So she has dedicated her career to helping beauty entrepreneurs have the accounting and tax support they need. Listen in to learn about the differences between a book keeper, accountant, CPA, etc, and about other resources you should take advantage of to keep your money organized as a beauty business owner!

Nonprofits are some of the best providers of necessary services in the United States. However, many run on shoestring budgets and require a mix of paid staff, volunteers, and internships to fulfill their missions, and there are still labor and employment laws, rules, and regulations they must follow. We discuss some of the issues around staff classification and benefits with Jackson Walker Labor & Employment attorney Brooke Leondar and Kenesha Starling, a third-year South Texas College of Law student and 2020 summer associate at Jackson Walker.

Kenesha N. Grant, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Howard University, at the beginning of her new book, The Great Migration and the Democratic Party: Black Voters and the Realignment of American Politics in the 20th Century (Temple University Press, 2020), poses a question to consider in context of trying to understand the realignment of voters within American political parties. This question is about the impact of the Great Migration of African Americans from the South to northern cities, and how this changed the political dynamics in many of the places where African Americans settled and built new lives. Grant's examination focuses specifically on the impact in terms of politics, how and where African American individuals engaged in politics, as voters, and in running for and being elected to office. The Great Migration and the Democratic Party concentrates on three cities where the population changed and shifted given the influx of black citizens; and the political dynamics in Detroit, Chicago, and in New York City all came to reflect, in different ways, the influx of new voters and politically active citizens. The Great Migration and the Democratic Party focuses on the local, state, and national Democratic Party, since these voters were not only politically engaged at the local level, they were also able to contribute to voting blocs within states, at times making the difference in terms of the Electoral College and presidential candidacies. The Great Migration and the Democratic Party traces the changes in the political parties over the course of the 20th century, exploring the shifts of voters across parties, with specific attention to Black voters' movement from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party. Grant examines this shift in context of the movement of voters from one part of the United States to other parts of the United States, but also through the lens of how white Democratic elected officials in northern cities approached and engaged Black voters, and how both black and white citizens in these large urban centers participated in politics. Ultimately, Grant positions the Great Migration as a key dimension of some of the shifts and changes that have occurred in the parties over the past century. In tracing the political impact of the great migration, Grant also concludes her work with some analysis of the re-migration of African Americans back to the South, and how active citizens and voters may once again change the dynamics in American politics. Lilly J. Goren is professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She is co-editor of the award winning book, Women and the White House: Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics (University Press of Kentucky, 2012), as well as co-editor of Mad Men and Politics: Nostalgia and the Remaking of Modern America (Bloomsbury Academic, 2015).

We loved having Paul Tremblay to join us to talk about this masterpiece. We talked about why Paul has been so inspired by Jackson in his own work, what makes this story so special--and we also dissected our views on the new film adaptation. Please note: major movie spoilers from about 44:30 to about 57:00, for those who haven't seen it yet. We do "spoil" the book throughout, but it's old...so.

Lisa is a writer who lives on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where she enjoys a life of reading, writing, and scaring the wits out of her husband, who doesn’t fully understand her love for all things horror. Sometimes she uses her Ph.D. in Gothic literature to teach, but mostly she uses it to write horror stories–and to raise two of her own little monsters, her sons. Melanie holds a Ph.D. in American Literature from the University of Mississippi. She is an assistant professor of English at Delta State University in Cleveland, MS, where she teaches courses in American literature. She researches and writes about the American Gothic and supernatural literature (with occasional forays into pop culture).

This is one of our most rowdy chats yet, with so many laugh out loud moments!
