Welcome to the?Link In Bio?newsletter - Issue 25

*Subtle ask...Share?this newsletter with your followers, colleagues, friends, and family.

The?Link In Bio?newsletter showcases the top news that received traction this week and a few hidden gems you may not have seen in the worlds of Social Media, Digital Design, and Biz Branding.

I thought this was a perfect time to highlight Beyoncé's new song, "Break My Soul" (LINK ) as we are seeing women's rights in the U.S. taken away. Check out the link to hear her new song with a nostalgic sample.

Snag our "I am enough PERIOD." framed poster to provide inspiration to yourself as a visual affirmation, or send it as a great gift to a friend or colleague. Get yours starting at $26 at www.ShopCollegeOfStyle.com.?Buy Now at this LINK.
