Honoured to be moderating this Fireside Chat on Fri. A must-see! @MissLisaMae and I have had incredible chats over the months, and her story (including the messiness of being an entrepreneur) will move you. 🙏
Just finished my fireside chat prep talk with @cherryrosetan and I was already in tears. I told her “I’m ready to lay down my cross.” It’s time. I’m scared. Honestly. But I’m ready. I will have tissues on standby. #WeAreLegacy #WWT2020

Proud of my team for the necessary and uncomfortable conversations we have been having. ♥️ #mentalhealth #realtalk #BIPOC
Our community has been in deep discussions on #blacklivesmatter and generational trauma. 70% of our team and 37% of our champions are People of Colour. As we deconstruct painful topics, be safe. As survivors, it is not on us to fix or educate without caring for ourselves first.

“It took me almost nine years to raise about $7 million in investment capital alone. It’s taken me about nine days to pull in almost $7 million.”
