This year, I decided to stop playing small and go full-time on my business. For Women’s History Month, I wanted to honor amazing women entrepreneurs that have inspired me to take the leap of faith. Watching them grow your brands and seeing them succeed has given me the courage to know that I too can do it. Entrepreneurship can sometimes feel lonely, but it feels so much larger knowing I am in community with so many other dope women chasing their dreams.
