In August, I spoke on a personal fulfillment panel, speaking to some of the rituals and mantras I’ve used to get through the pandemic thus far. It was a trip to see Story posts from conference attendees with my egghead + voice broadcast into kitchens and living rooms 😮

It's been just about 48 hours since Saturday's Everygirls Rise event with @lamarcaprosecco—but we're still reminiscing about all the advice and inspiration we took away from the virtual conference✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Throughout this week, we'll be sharing favorite takeaways and highlights from Saturday—like this showstopper of a quote from panelist @joyofodu, Associate Brand Marketing Manager at Instagram and the youngest brand marketer at Facebook. If you missed out on this event but are interested in joining us in October (or if you DID join us and want to check out the next one as well!), head to the link in our bio. Tickets are FREE (with options for upgrades). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Monday, Everygirls—be undeniable today! #everygirlsrise #lamarcaprosecco #sponsored

In this short time, I’ve:

• Been a semi-finalist for a competitive industry program
• Wrapped my first half after being promoted
• Ended a beautiful first relationship
• Started dating again
• Applied, was admitted to & started grad school
• Mentored 2 girls with a custom program
• Launched my online course
• Referred 100+ underrepresented people to Facebook
• Booked 15+ speaking engagements with AUDACITY Digi, DubHacks, Stanford Ignite, OWNIT, General Assembly and more

And to get here, I’ve had to keep:

• dancing in the mirror and the kitchen and in Stories
• meditating before bed
• watching good/bad films & TV
• resting mercilessly
• journaling
• forgiving myself for not being or feeling as productive
• thinking big-picture

It’s been a trip, and I show no signs of stopping (unless my body asks me to 😉

October is STRICTLY BUSINESS! If you want to hear more about my & others’ professional experience, you can register for the October 3rd professional panel here

La Marca cheers and hugs from me,
