In Tracking Diaries<\/b>, we invited people from all walks of life to share how they spent a day online while using Firefox\u2019s privacy protections<\/a> to keep count of the trackers that tried to follow them. <\/em><\/p>\n

Whenever you\u2019re online, a multitude of third parties<\/a> attempt to record what you\u2019re doing, largely without your knowledge or consent. Creepy! That\u2019s why Firefox<\/a> has turned the tables, letting you block and see the trackers.<\/a> Read on to find out how many trackers tried to trail Tiffany LaTrice Williams throughout her day, and how she felt about it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Atlanta is the no. 12 city for self-employment<\/a> and about 52%<\/b> of the freelance\/self-employment workforce is black women. And you\u2019ve guessed it, I am one of those black women earning an income by making magic happen from behind my laptop with a remote, flexible team of three while managing a community of 53 women with my organization, TILA Studios.<\/a><\/p>\n

Black women are one of the most influential consumer groups, which means our interests, shopping and browsing habits are important to major corporations, third party tracking companies, marketing and advertising agencies. These tracking companies profit off of our interests and habits.<\/p>\n

My alarm rings\u2026 I strategically snooze until it\u2019s 6:45am. I immediately shuffle to my coffee pot, brew 16 oz pot of coffee (I tend to need about two cups to feel my absolute best), meditate + stretch, and then blast Sango Radio on Pandora to get myself into a groove.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m behind my computer addressing the most important items on my to-do list. I apply \u201cthe rule of three\u201d<\/b> to my day, which means I address the three most important items in order to have a productive day. I manage my tasks in my passion planner (see below a colorful snippet).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This includes research on industry trends within my market, writing pitches to potential partners or sponsors and developing any content that will need to be distributed to the community or public.<\/p>\n
