I was hired with my piercings which are very discrete.One has to get up close to even see them. I have nose piercings. I also have red dreads for that matter. I have an native american and Affrican heritage and rituals and ancestors to honor. I have stretched lobes size 0 and an industrial and rook in one ear. They are very favorably profiled. I have variest accredidations and a masters degree and working on a PhD in Bus. Org and Management leadership, and an Administration credential in Ed.. I also design clothes. But after raising children alone I felt I should at least teach a few years some where full time. After several odd jobs and sub teaching or over two decades and sitting on boards of education committees. I dress professionally better than most.My plans are to teach etiquette and protocol to a number of venues, to bring back civility. I’ve got a few good years left to share my wealth of knowledge. I believe in positive change. My jewelry is my choice.
