Introduction Post

Hello My name is Martha Belle, born and raised in Queens, New York. I am a graduating senior majoring in Business management, and until recently was a sports management minor. With my degree, my long term goal is to open and run a chain on community centers for children and adults. My dream is to provide resources for kids in hopes to open doors of opportunity for them. My goal is to also provide resources for adults so that they can reach greater opportunities.

On my down time I love to shop, eat, and watch African American historical documentaries. Due to the fact that I'm almost always hungry people always ask me for snacks because there's a huge chance I may have packed a bag full of them. Growing up I noticed the different styles between my mom and dad, and soon took after my mothers. Only thing that I didn't realize then, but I do now is that my mom's style always requires money! If it's buying groceries, shoes, clothes, movie tickets, I love to shop for absolutely anything. I grew up in a heavy Pro Black household thanks to my father, who always educated on the non mainstream history of our people. From countless trips to museums and exhibits, to fun fact books, to even emailing me videos today in college my father poured his love for our culture and history into me.


I am known as the hustler among my first cousins, because I am always working or always getting a new job. Though I am blessed to have both parents active in my I still choose to have a sense of responsibility for myself and try to provide what I can on my own. I started off this school year working at Ross Dress for Less, and started this semester at Movado Company Store and Old Navy. Currently I am employed at Movado Company Store as an associate and I sell watches.

Until I start opening community centers, I plan to continue working part time at Movado while working full- time at a management firm.
