The Everygirl was named a top 100 website for #millennialwomen by #Forbes and has since been a leading resource helping shape creative, career-driven women, and currently has over 1 million unique monthly readers.

They brought me into Chicago to talk about some of my favorite work experiences – launching #ShareBlackStories and bringing my full self to work while remaining honest & healthy.

Lemme say it again, ICYMI: This world is too big and this life is too long for you to stick yourself in something you’re not comfortable with! ✨So many honest moments from this panel that I will meditate on all month.

TOURIST GOAL🌚🗣: TOUCH THE BEAN ✔️✔️✔️✔️ When British Indian artist Kapoor designed this, he actually wanted it to look like a portal to the clouds, or a drop of mercury. It cost $22 million to create. I know this because I wandered my way into a 1 HR private tour with a lovely elderly man named Wally. Y’all, Wally gave me the TEA on Chicago 😍

On September 7, 2019, La Marca Prosecco and The Everygirl gathered career-minded women from around the country to an empowerment-minded mini-conference. The panel discussion was led by Joyce Chen, marketing director of La Marca Prosecco, and featured the talents and advice of Danielle Moss, cofounder of The Everygirl Media Group; Luvleen Sidhu, cofounder, president, and CSO of BankMobile; Allyson Trammell, editorial director of The Everygirl Media Group; Joy Ofodu, Brand Marketing Coordinator at Instagram; and Katie Sturino, founder of The 12ish Style and Megababe. @lamarcaprosecco @joy.love.and.wanders @daniellemoss_ @luvleensidhu @allyson.trammell @joyofodu @katiesturino

So happy to be grounded in this present moment, and sharing my joy with other driven women.

A few very important things to note about this post: ✨ I am in love with my potential and my present and it shows ✨ I was working on this Mario “Pray For Bahamas” spoof and little did I know this girl in the background was watching me and narrating to her friend 😂 “She’s trying so hard not to laugh.” #PrayForBahamas #ActuallyThough ✨ Here’s a snippet of what brought me to this beautiful city – encouraging people to walk in their truth! It was crazy how few women in the audience had heard the Bay Area’s beaten “be your authentic self at work” phrase. After today, I’m eager to keep coming out and speaking about how important it is to work somewhere your identity (be you immigrant, trans, differently abled, Muslim, Black as Hell) is supported and respected.👊🏾
