The latest episode of WAHNcast features an incredible conversation with Commissioner Eileen Higgins of Miami Dade. Her candid and insightful discussion was both honest and impressive, showcasing her remarkable confidence and resilience. Here are a few highlights from our chat that I found particularly inspiring: Her Best Advice: On dealing with critics, Eileen says, “Let them have one chance to complain and listen to them. Let them be heard.” It’s a powerful reminder that while it’s important to listen, you don’t have to let negativity consume you. Facing Inequality: Eileen describes the challenge of being treated unequally as a woman as “like swatting flies.” This reminded me a lot of stories I hear at Women's Affordable Housing Network (WAHN) - the ability to continue moving forward with the eye on the end goal. Senior Projects Innovation: Co-living spaces designed for both affordability and sociability. It’s forward-thinking solutions like these that can make a real difference in our communities. I love Eileen’s goal of meeting 50 people a week—it resonates with my own networking goals and underscores the importance of connection and engagement in our professional lives. #WAHncast #Leadership #Networking #WomenInLeadership #CommunityInnovation #Inspiration

This quote encapsulates the essence of what makes communities so powerful. Communities are more than just gatherings of individuals; they are shared journeys towards common goals. They provide a nurturing environment where members support, uplift, and inspire one another. Within a community, there’s a synergy that emerges when people align their efforts towards a shared purpose. Together, they celebrate successes, navigate challenges, and learn from each other’s experiences. At hey you, we believe that cultivating meaningful connections within our community is essential. We encourage you to embrace the strength of community, agreeing to grow together and supporting each other on our journey towards collective success.
