Four years ago, when all I had was a web series and a book, put me on my first cover with four incredible women I look up to: Ava, Mara, Shonda and Ms. Debbie. It was their "Game Changers" issue and I kept thinking, "I can't believe they chose me." That cover meant so much to me because it validated my work on a platform I respected AND it was a nurturing recognition of promise, a promise that I didn't necessarily see in myself at the time. Four years later -- entering the fourth season of my TV show, and shooting my fourth movie in New York -- they honored me with this solo cover. Thank you, Essence, for helping me to deliver on that promise you saw years ago, and changing the game for me. 📸:

“Asking me, or your family, or your clients, for permission is NOT what a boss would do.” Yep, boss and mom telling folks what’s up.
・・・
Ever since I started writing about how I take two weeks off over the holidays, I get a lot of emails in December from clients and readers asking me how I manage it: taking time off, setting expectations with clients and with family, dealing with business crises, etc.

What I keep hearing is that you guys don’t feel like you’re allowed to take time off. You think your businesses will falter, your clients will be pi**ed, your revenue streams will dry up, etc. Or it’s the opposite and you want to work through the holidays but you don’t feel like you’re allowed to spend your holidays focused on anything but your families.

Look, it’s your business! You’re the boss, you make the rules. If you think you need to work, then work. And if you think you need to take time off, then do that! You know what your business needs and you know what you need...so make it happen!

But asking me, or your family, or your clients, for permission is NOT what a boss would do. This is just leftover employee behavior, from your days working in a cubicle or turning in PTO requests.

I take two weeks off over the holidays for the same reason that I took three months of maternity leave and fly my kids with me on business trips: because I want to. I don’t ask permission, I don't check in with my business coach, or chat about it with my entrepreneur friends. I just decide it’s the right thing, and I do it.

So now it’s your turn, what does your business need this year? What do you need this year? What’s the boss decision you need to make? Whatever it is, don’t ask permission—just do it.

Hey, hey! We’re back with another fresh episode. Circle up because this one’s important. 📢

We’ve decided to narrow the focus of our podcast to zero in on a particular type of woman: work-at-home-moms with creative, slightly unconventional careers.

We’re talking about the entrepreneurs, the writers, the artists, the bloggers, the consultants, the freelancers, the business owners, the creatives. Those women who juggle making a living working for themselves with taking care of their homes, kids and partners while working from home offices, co-working spaces and Starbucks. Phew... it’s a lot. Fact! 💯

We have a strong connection to these women because they are us. 👋🏾 And we want to make sure that we’re cutting through the b.s. and shame and guilt out there to provide good resources, support, and community for other creative, WAHMs out there. 💪🏾💪🏾

Listen in for more on our pivot. ↪️ And let us know what you think! http://bit.ly/HeySis-Pivot

The first copies of my second book are in! Little Dreamers: Visionary Women Around the World hits stores on Nov 6. It’s a collection of biographies of women Artists and Scientists who used their own creativity to do amazing things. Some of them even changed the world! ✨
I was inspired to make a book for the creative kids: the ones who are always making things, always asking questions, the inventors and experimenters and the ones who just can’t sit still! I want them to know the stories of these incredible visionaries who harnessed that very same energy to make some amazing things happen!
