Distrust and self-doubt are our most substantial limitations. Distrust in ourselves goes hand-in-hand with distrusting others. This is a life not fully realized but dictated by fear. Self-doubt often is frustrating, anxiety-inducing, scary as heck, and, for some, paralyzing.
My goal is to help you move through your fear—not to ignore your fear but acknowledge it as a life-long friend. It will always be a part of you. Thus, it’s essential to embrace it to live fully—a life with purpose and without regrets. The biggest risk in life is not taking one.
Through your fears, I’m also here to remind you that you already have everything necessary to re-love or fall in love with yourself. Consequentially, the flood gates will open to ownership of your desires, leading to courageous actions toward your dreams.
So trust your inner-voice and your abilities, no matter the outcome. As you likely have heard: It is not the destination but the journey that matters. Speaking from plenty of invaluable trials and errors, I couldn’t agree more. I am beyond grateful for every single one of them. Each one has been right on time.
Hello Community!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your heartfelt love and support of my passion to boldly create positive change, especially through my baby, my artistic activism, Retrofit Republic. When I founded Retrofit Republic at 25 years old, I had no idea it would become the innovative social enterprise that so many of you championed. Thank you for believing in the good work that we were doing.
Going back down memory lane.
I knew we were on to something unique. But the continual out-pour of our positive affect on you and so many illustrated that it was changing society to be better, to be more diverse, more inclusive, more equitable, to herald the beautiful diversity of individuals, races, cultures, backgrounds, gender presentations, body types, abilities and disabilities; and while changing culture to be more conscious of consumerism and its global ramifications such as the human and environmental costs of products and business practices.
Additionally, many studies have shown the greater benefits of diversity in the workforce such as increased revenue and fundraising, better and comprehensive ideas, improved efficiencies and productivity, significantly higher retention, and overall happier employees. So why not put concerted effort to institutionalize diversity, equity, and inclusion practices and policies in your company? It’s a no-brainer really.
These values continue to inform me in my continual nonprofit, social impact, and consulting work. As well as in the past four years, with the students I have been so fortunate to work with. With anything that I am passionate about, it becomes my life. I give it my all. Just like at Retrofit Republic, I gave my all to my students and families. I learned a ton. I am forever grateful for the transformations and relationships fostered. But I deeply miss the magical creative flow that I had running Retrofit Republic, where I had full creative license to collaborate and run my own vehicle of change.
Thus, here I am starting my next creative vision and consulting services site. Whatever your needs are such as how to:
_Start a nonprofit, social enterprise or business.
_Lead a mission driven personal and career path.
_Ensure your company and practices are rooted in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
_Hire and train diverse talent.
_Coach and develop your team.
_Mediate conflict resolutions between your team members.
_Execute an effective and productive staff retreat.
_Market, communicate, and increase your reach.
_Envision and execute an unforgettable marketing campaign from A-Z.
_Create a unique brand and identity.
_Market research to understand what competitive advantage you and your company has.
_Develop a memorable tagline and elevator pitch.
_Set-up photo and video shoots.
_Style it all.
_Dress and present yourself as the boss that you are or strive to be.
_Lead and inspire a team.
_Plan and execute your organization’s anniversary event.
I got you! Or you simply want to share what creative endeavors you’re working on or content that inspires you.
Keep doing you and believe in yourself. If you don’t, then why should anyone else? Trust that your firm belief will manifest.
