𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗬 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. ✨

I’m stepping into the AfroTech Insider community as a 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 — for the rooms, the relationships, and the possibilities that happen when you’re in the right ecosystem.

And it’s perfectly aligned with what I’m building through the 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲𝗧𝗠 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: a sanctuary for 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 50+ to 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺, 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 & 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲™ joy-filled next chapters—boldly, with community, and with legacy in mind.

I’m not waiting to be discovered.
I’m building the kind of work that creates a 𝘣𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘳 for the rooms I belong in.

If you’re entering 2026 with 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗬, drop one word you’re moving with this year.

𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 if you’re building your next chapter on purpose.
𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 with a woman who’s ready for her “rooms.” 🤍

✨ 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀...

I’ve entered 2026 in a posture of 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗬 — grounded, aligned, and ready to receive what’s already moving toward me.

Last year was 𝗨𝗡𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗗, and 2025 honored that word in every direction:
new rooms, new visibility, new recognition, and a movement expanding with clarity and purpose.

And as this new year opens, alignment continues to meet me.

On Friday, I received a new honor with gratitude and with the certainty that it reflects the work I’ve been building — a body of work that stands on its own and speaks for itself. (𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦.)

𝗜’𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 — 𝗜’𝗺 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱.

This is the same energy that shapes the 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲𝗧𝗠 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 — a sanctuary for 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 50+ who are stepping into their next chapter with clarity, community, and bold self-belief.

In 2026, I’m expecting expansion.
I’m expecting alignment.
I’m expecting opportunities that match the depth of my preparation.
I’m expecting visibility that honors the magnitude of the work.
