Reader, from community, collaborators, and conversations with potential clients to some low-tech family time in one of my favorite spots in the world. Here’s a photo from the past so that you can imagine where I am today as this lands in your inbox: Wherever you are in this moment, let this be a moment to take a deep breath and center on what’s in your sphere of influence. Feel your feet on the ground. Or in my case, the sand in my toes. Ask yourself 🪄 What do you need now? Water? A hug? A good cry? Or maybe some solo time? Find a way to give it to yourself today at best or at the very least, this weekend! That’s the Justice & Joy message this week. 😎 I’ll be back in your inbox next week with more behind-the-scenes insights to share. 🫶🏽 p.s. 2-3 August spots are still open. When you are ready, I am here. Rooted in love. Blooming in liberation. 🌻 |

Welp, this mama tested positive!! 16 days into the new school year, and all of my plans got smaller out of necessity instead of choice, including parenting my daughter this week. Eclipse season asked for surrender,...
Hey Reader, I planned to send this to you on Friday, I even attended a co-working sess for accountability. And instead of pushing, I allowed the day to be one of collaborative synergy that turned into an afternoon in the sun, drinking an adult slushie along with chips and gauc! 🥑⚡️😎 Even so, I’ll be honest with you—my heart has felt heavy ❤️🔥 Between Nolan Wells heavenly birthday 🕊️and the seventh Black individual found hung from a tree. As a Black mama, my heart breaks to type that sentence,...
Reader, this week I kept stepping out of my comfort zone and into the growth edge. Two in-real-life events. The ICAN Oakland Small Business Mixer on Wednesday evening. The Bay Area Nonprofit Breakfast Club on Friday morning. Rooms full of people I did not know on Monday, and now get to follow up with before heading out for our family camping trip before school starts. Here is what I remembered: my joy lives in community. In showing up in person. In hearing what other founders and nonprofit...
