(7,654 posts)first of all, you had headhunters contacting you about a job. That suggests you were in demand, that suggests you have some education and training, which all comes together to suggest that "money not being a problem" was probably always going to be the case for you eventually. You probably came across as educated, able, and anyone "reading" you was going to see that.
Second of all, your average woman these days is statistically having less than 2 children in America, so you having only one child is actually fairly close to the statistical norm. So that's two things that had a pretty strong likelihood of happening.
Third, Black women are exponentially more likely to be involved in interracial relationships over the past 20 years or so. So, again, statistically, an educated, Black woman having a White husband is not really winning the lottery odds.
Finally, California is the fifth largest economy in the world. I don't know what your career is, but there are few careers that wouldn't have plenty of job opportunities in such a large and diverse state.
So yeah, you can somehow "hit" without seeing the future. Look at John Edwards. He was so "very well known for his accuracy" that he got his own national TV show. Or "Miss Cleo." Or a couple of others who later turned out to be frauds. They got "hits" too. A lot of them in fact. Enough to make them nationally famous.
