There are far too many dope women in my life to start naming folks on International Women’s Day. This entrepreneur life ain’t NO JOKE! I LITERALLY don’t know what I’m doing from one moment to the next and I’m switching proverbial hats from Owner/Executive Director/CEO to Program Coordinator to Marketing Exec to Accounts Payable/Receivable to Mom to Wife to Daughter/Granddaughter/Niece/Cousin/Friend ALL. M***A. FCUKIN. DAY. I love it and I wouldn’t change it for the world. But.
I’m grateful for the people…specifically the BLACK WOMEN…that God puts in my life to fix my crown and encourage me to be the BAWSE BITCH that I was created to be.
I want to thank the 3 black women who helped me mind my Black owned business TODAY: Samantha K Morris, Rashaunah Asya Williams, & Felicia Santiago. Each one of you planted a seed today that helped me figure out a different aspect of my business TODAY.
Also shout out to Lanese MArtin, Amber E. Senter, Kaylin Reese, Candace M Clark, Edie Moore, Arianne Richards, Neffer-Oduntunde Osunbunmi Adesanya-Kerr, M Kay Marshall, A MeShell Anderson, J.t. Stinnette, Victoria Williams and the whole IL OG HBIC group chat for your example as well as your advice, ideas, inspiration and encouragement and MOST IMPORTANTLY for being a safe space for me to “let my hair down,” be my quirky-silly-bougie-ghetto self, and share my “Sativa scope creep” ideas!
This is not an all-inclusive list. But, right now I am consumed with my entrepreneurial and cannabis advocacy endeavors, and I want to focus on the Black women who have helped me along this journey…and THESE are those women❤️
