DCFunemployment is a continuously growing passion of mine because I love celebrating dope women. But I am human, and I get tired. I am a champion for self care but sometimes we preach better than we do and I spent a lot of Q1 examining and catching up on some much needed self care. I kept saying I was going to be ready to relaunch and get back to this project next month and then I looked up and it was Spring and I realized that I have been hibernating. And that is just what I needed to be doing.

Now that the flowers are starting to push through, and the sun is ready to come out, I am ready to showcase some amazing more women and getting excited because while I was slightly dormant, behind the scenes, there was still a lot going on behind the scenes to get continue to expand and highlight the incredible people of the Funemployed.

Friday, I will be speaking at PurpleCon about Brand Storytelling and one of the beautiful things about how branding has evolved and expanded is that your brand is a living and growing thing. My brand is evolving and changing and growing right now and I cannot wait for you to see me burst outta this cocoon.

I’m also in a cohort of dope women called Tide Risers that is pushing me to continue to stretch and grow and step into my dopeness unapologetically!! We all have greatness in us, shine your light on yours and let it magnify.

Part of my greatness, outside of shining a light on other women here, is helping women turn their own lights in via yoga and other programming. So Q2 you will start to see more fun events, dinners, fitness and more to take you on this journey with me to be our greatest selves. Are you ready??
