This year, I decided to take a chance on not one but two new biz ventures. In full transparency, I’ve been sleeping on these ideas for YEARS, and it’s just coincidental that the economy decided to be against me the year I chose to take a chance on myself and my team. However, I’ve made it my goal to beat the odds. If you’re looking for your SIGN to take the leap you’ve been holding off on, THIS is it. You can’t be what you cannot see; if I can motivate just one person to take a chance on their dream TODAY, then as a fellow Black small biz owner, I am beaming. Your support system is stronger than you think, and there are so many tools like QuickBooks available to you as you start your entrepreneurship journey. Thank you for being part of my journey and giving me a community to lean on. What leap are you taking this season? Intuit QuickBooks

Multiple generations of First Nations and Indigenous people have been affected by the abuses of the Residential School system, which started in the 1870s, the last of which closed in 1996. The intergenerational impacts of this trauma are unspeakable and what’s worse is that so many survivors are being re-traumatized and forced to relive these experiences with the recent discovery of the bodies of 215 murdered children in BC.
