WOMEN IN BUSINESS in LOS ANGELES

My name is Raquel, I am the owner of Raquel Queen of Bail Bonds. I've been in business 10 years. I know a lot of people in this city. I grew up here, and my scope ranges from the Westside to San Diego to Ventura and the San Fernando Valley. That's a very wide range.

Throughout the years I've watched people come and go. I've seen trends blowup and fade away. 

One thing that is a steadfast in Los Angeles is gossip and hate. A lot of people can relate to that yet they engage in the gossip and hate when it pertains  to other people. The trend of saying respect is earned to me is completely false. I give everybody respect immediately because that's how I handle myself. Everybody gets my respect until proven unworthy.

This article is not specifically about me. It's about what I hear from other people and the drama that I see other people participating in. Especially participating in drama online. I hope everybody can try to be kind to one another this year. I know that when people act in anger it's out of pain and hurt. 

I work with so many different people, from different genres, different neighborhoods, different ethnic groups. I somehow have to be cool with everybody, & with everybody's temperaments and opinions. I understand not everybody is going to get along, but it's not OK to gossip to me about other people because I will not participate. We are all in this together, let's put our egos to the side, (social media is not helping with that) & let's be kind to each other, or at the very least professional. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.
