Happy Black History Month, my people!!! 

For many of us, it’s business as usual…doing what we do 24 / 7 / 365…in excellence.

For others, it’s a season of #Performance and #Profit.  If the only time the history of the Black Diaspora is important to you is during the shortest month of the year…

Well, now is a good time for all of us to learn.  Make the effort to research reputable sources and do your due diligence, as there are countless legitimate resources available.

A tip for entities who invite speakers into their spaces (which I trust you’ve done long before today for any engagements during this month):  do not expect them to work for EXPOSURE.  Respect the value of their expertise and compensate them accordingly. 

The actual history of the Black Diaspora contradicts what we’ve all been taught…THAT and the well-documented atrocities coming to light is what much pushback is about.

Learn to ask questions to gain knowledge, not to prove a point or be right.  That’s not conversation, that’s validation, and there’s no room for learning in that environment.

I encourage you to become or remain open-minded.  If this made you feel some kinda way…sit with yourself to determine why…and then find a way to work through it.

With a new year and clearer vision, I’m proud to introduce my new client offer:  A to Z Your Business.  It’s newly improved, fresh out of the oven…and it’s coming in HOT!

My word for 2023 is provision:  the action of providing or supplying something for use.

I cobbled this one together from a few Google results: measures taken in preparation to address a need or contingency.

My first exposure to the word was in religious context, having been raised in the church.  It became one of my favorite words (#GeekAlert!) when I was younger.  To me, it sounded full and rolled off the tongue nicely.

Perhaps it is only natural that I became a service provider, yes?  It’s a gift, really.

Also known in my circles as “if you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready”!  IYKYK

My provision looks like being ready with navigational assistance when the roadblock reveals itself…and I make a great #CoPilot!  Partner up with me for your provision!  #IveGotYourSix

Many times I’ve found that many entrepreneurs are primarily focused on the thing they’re best at, but that leaves many other important things to fall by the wayside…that’s where I come in!
