If you chase the money, it will run away from you.

Korean saying

What do you think about Empower Hunger instead of Power Hunger?

Imagine the mindset shift to be Empower Hungry. The positive change that ignites!

✨ Empowering the people with beautiful intentions and brilliant minds who are otherwise underrepresented.

✨ Empowering the misunderstood who motivate gentle souls that they deserve to exist. Exemplifying resilience.

✨ Empowering those who actively strive to create change for a more equitable, collaborative, safe planet.

During the Social Change Forum last Thursday, I heard validation for empowerment over and over again. And it’s going to take every one of us doing our part to shift the tides for good social change.

Instead of chasing dollars, lead with your heart, partner with incredible people who share your values, and uplift those who deserve it.

[We interrupt the regularly schedule program with this very important message: 😄 I am still editing the video from the phenomenal podcast recording with one of my favorite people on the planet, Yolanda Brown. Stay tuned!] Seriously, there is SO much love to share… More very, very soon!

…Dance break…

Remember how I threatened to make t-shirts? I totally created inclusive message designs in my brand colors, with my brand guideline from Two Lips Creative, and now have a merch store on RedBubble. Go ahead, check it out!

Where is Wa’am? It’d be FABULOUS to Reconnect!

✨ March 29th, join me with OPEN Madison, A Room of One’s Own, and more at Giant Jones Brewery for Trans Day of Visibility!

🌟 April 23rd, join me at the Spring LGBTQ+ Affirming Career Fair, at the Madison College - Goodman South Campus.

🌟 Throughout Spring, attend many StartOut virtual events with me (and maybe venture to Chicago for some in person networking).

✨ And soon will be back to meeting on SUP boards at Wingra Lake! 😎

Sending so you so much love and courage!

As the French protestors of FEMEN’s proclaimed on International Women’s Day:

❝

Our infantry, unarmed and nonviolent,
will always be ready.
We refuse to serve as a Trojan horse for the repugnant ideas of identitarian groups. We will not look away as the violent wave of masculinism sweeps across the world.

Dry your tears, citizens — form your battalions!
March, march, until the immature tyrants hit rock bottom!

Thank you for being wonderful,
