Would you like to become a web developer? How about becoming makeup artist? I love makeup so much ((drools)). In some states, you don’t need a license to become a makeup artist. Check your local government to see if you do. Want to learn new language to grow your career or travel? Oh that moment when you surprise people because you’re a Black woman who’s multilingual. Then want to know how. HA! Want to learn yoga, how to market your business or just learn for the heck of it? Welcome to online learning.
