You Are Your Biggest Asset

Alright, alright, alright...y'all I'm back! So much has happened since my last time writing my weekly-ish newsletter. Not all good, but not all bad - life has been life and I'm thankful for it.

As someone who is so used to teaching others, it was a bit tough hearing things from others that contradicted the ways in which I currently worked.

What's new with me:

1. I've been accepted into the Village Micro Fund 's Flourish Fellowship Program! I've been so hyped about this program because it really stretches my thoughts about my business, myself as a leader, and my customers. This program is challenging, no lie. As someone who is so used to teaching others, it was a bit tough hearing things from others that contradicted the ways in which I currently worked. However, what I love about the program is that it has an amazing track record of #blackentrepreneurs and the facilities at Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs make it that much easier for us to see what we will become. Our #pitch is on May 3rd, and I couldn't be more excited to have a chance to win one of the grant prizes.
2. I'm tired...af. Y'all this is the hardest I've worked in my life. Not necessarily by hours, but by brain power. Well, then again it probably is by hours as well. You see that smile at the top of the #newsletter ? Well, that's the smile that keeps me going. I've frowned a lot, cried a lot, and cursed a whole lot, too. On the other side, I've also smiled a lot, celebrated a lot, and prayed a whole lot, too. My latest #mantra has been 'remember why you started' and it really get's me going.
3. Speaking gigs are picking back up! Y'all, I'm so excited to be speaking again on stages. I'll be delivering the #keynote address at Women in Media (UGA) on March 22nd! Now that's something I'm uber excited about (ew, I just said uber LOL!). After that, catch me at Greenbook 's IIEX North America in Austin. Hit me up if you'd like to join me or if you're in #austin and want to grab coffee or food truck food, let's do it!

Thank you so much for reading my newsletter and following my #foundersjourney . I've learned, it's so important for me to continue to pour into myself, because as I learned in the #flourishfellowship : I am my greatest asset!!!

If you believe the same, drop 'I am my greatest asset' in the comments - words have POWER!
