Oh, we talking teams?
Thank you to my friends and family whoāve held pieces of my journey, both behind the scenes and in the light. When I think about the people in my life, Iām reminded that Iām living in an answered prayer.
Everyone talks about community, building it, joining it but hereās what Iāve learned:
⢠Show up as the community you want.
⢠Be the member who gives without expecting anything back.
ā¢Believe in the visions of others.
ā¢Root for people just because.
⢠Make sure they donāt struggle alone.
Iām endlessly grateful for the community Iāve built over the last five years. I love yāall. š¤

Welcome to Pre-Season. From the very beginning, I knew this platform would become more than podcast, it would become a pathway.
A space for people to unlock ideas, resources, community, and the tools needed to bring their visions to life.
We all deserve to remember that weāre one choice and one action closer to becoming who we want to be, appreciating who we are now, and actualizing our dreams.
Pre-Season is an event series presented by Pushing the Pen, designed to bridge the gap between idea and execution.
We build with intention.āØWe play by our own design.āØWe shift into full-court balance.āØWe are conditioned by discipline, dedication, and faith.
To forever remain a Student of the Game.āØAnd thatās what sets us apart.

Still dreaming about this day at @fullybloomedfest šø Itās been a beautiful reminder in Q4 to choose myself, to pause, reflect, and reset. Iāve been reevaluating my habits, where I invest my energy, and what I pour into the world.
Moving forward with more intention, love, and a deeper commitment to showing myself grace, peace, and care.
Beyond grateful to be part of such an incredible evening as the Host of Broccoli Cityās Breakthrough Women in Music & Media Dinner.
Deeply thankful for the Black women who have poured into my journey, and honored to celebrate a powerful, diverse group of women in media and music who continue to be disruptors, trailblazers, and lifelong students of the game.āØ
Thank you to @broccolicity and @ionedigital for curating a night that uplifts and honors women pushing boundaries and moving culture forward.š
Planting seeds, tending my garden, and watching it all BLOSSOM šø
Thank you, @byfaithtoure & @shugaxice , for an incredible afternoon.
I met and laughed with so many amazing women who are showing up authentically and living life on purpose. It was the gentle reminder I needed āØ
