I want Black people to learn this early, if you do not document your impact, someone else will shrink it until it fits their comfort and their budget. That’s why I always say Stay Dangerous, because staying dangerous is how you avoid getting played at work.
I learned it when I resigned from one of many toxic workplaces. The environment was already draining, but what pushed me over the edge was how comfortable they were letting me carry weight without naming it or valuing it.
When I gave notice, the tone changed very fast. I heard, “You’ve been such a big part of this team,” “We didn’t realize you were feeling this way,” and “What would it take to keep you.”
You might see the title AI Architect floating around and not really know what the job is. It is one of the fastest growing roles in tech, and most people misunderstand it. Here is what the role actually does.
What It Is
An AI Architect designs the systems, workflows, and infrastructure that let a company use artificial intelligence in a real, functional way. They are not just building models. They are making decisions about how AI fits into the business, what tools get used, how data flows, and how everything stays secure and reliable.
What They Do
They map out how AI will support the company’s goals. They work with engineering, product, data, and leadership to decide which problems AI should solve. They choose the right models or tools, design the pipelines, and make sure the systems can scale. They also keep an eye on ethics, compliance, and risk because bad AI decisions can expose a company fast.
Black people, be careful with the coworker who always comes to you for help but never brings your name into the room.
It usually starts small.
They ask for your take on something.
They need help shaping a message.
They want feedback on a solution.
You give them the clarity they did not have.
Then the meeting comes. Suddenly the idea is theirs. The strategy is theirs. The win is theirs.
Too many people waste space listing what they were “responsible for” instead of showing what they actually did. That’s why so many strong candidates get passed over. What makes a resume stand out is proof of impact.

Several different ways to flip the script on Recruiters when they ask you “What’s the salary you’re targeting” so you dont low ball yourself in an interview
“Happy to have that conversation, can you share what the role is budgeted for?”
“I’m more focused on finding the right fit and opportunity. I’m confident we can land on a number that reflects the value I bring.”
