With change happening at rapid speed Iām noticing how much our very identities are impacted. In the context of career and sudden pivots/transitions its almost immediate. We talk about the financial changes but itās our identity that can silently be impacted just as much.
In a season where itās all about obedience for me, God can architect and orchestrate your identity back to its original design and that āworkā will have you relearning who you were meant to be all along.
By the time yāall are reading this just know im at the mercy of this oneā¦all day. Her list of demands are constant and reoccurring but the Lord knew this was the one I would call mom š„° . I donāt take for granted the importance of honoring her (even though my stress levels be high š) Lord i say thank you anyhow and appreciate her wisdom and love and when I say sis be prayingā¦.yāall wonder where i get my Goooooodddd Moorrninggs from š„³
In a time where its easier to see discourse and debate I appreciate the moments where I can see my friends shine and succeed. In this stage of life when you can show up for your friends and cheer for them take the opportunity to do so š„°
But I am learning that gratitude for where you have been does not require you to stay there forever.You can honor a place and still be called somewhere else.You can love what shaped you and still outgrow the version of life you built there.You can be thankful and still know it is time.That has been one of the harder lessons.Because leaving is not just physical.Sometimes leaving means releasing an old identity.
So, at the end of August, Iāll be relocating to Charlotte.Iāll be building a new community. Iāll be expanding my professional network.Iāll be continuing to build FORMA Strategy Group.Iāll be pursuing aligned opportunities. Iāll be honoring what Boston has meant while allowing myself to be planted somewhere new. Iāll be doing it with faith, even as I continue to figure out the details.

Before naming the book Start With Yourself i knew that was the necessary start for myself. So far @emmagrede and her book is a good read. Caught a few nuggets in between #startwithyourselfāļø
A week ago we intentionally selected a group of individuals leading and shifting the community and culture in their own impactful ways. An intimate setting where titles were left at the door and communion and fellowship met at the table.
At the center of the night, we honored the exemplary work of 4 women who lead by example, support without hesitation and create space for everyone to show up as their authentic self.
None of it exists without the village that believes in the vision. Sincere gratitude to the creatives, businesses, and brands who continue to show up with us and for us:

š¤ TNTED - Intentional people. Intimate space. Immeasurable impact.
With any final product there is a level of execution required.
@sofenomenalagencygroup is made up of three women who come together with one goal in mind. How do we keep (and continue to keep ) culture at the center.
As the CEO @fenafenelon leads with a creative vision that at times is quite interesting to put into words. There is a unique way in which she says ālet me see what I can doā and then visualizes a masterpiece with precision and accuracy.
As the CMO @chaarealsmoove takes collaboration and partnership to a whole new level. There is an āeyeā required to secure relationships and integrate into an already established brand with culture and alignment at its core.
Then there is me ( COO) choosing to look at the things many people behind the scenes donāt even know were even factored in to make it all stand tall and pretty. To operate on this level is to see the play long before it happens.
So when you mix all three togetherā¦..what did you expect?!
Thank you again to the @sirdavis (@sv_203 )
