Boards & Brunch by Faith Tech Grow
My word for 2019 is INCREASE.
The amazing men and women that I got to meet today from the city I'm from is the reason why I know a different level of outcome is about to happen this year. They will each increase their mindset (@rhondafully_made_ ), tackle their goals and build businesses with faith (@_bre_lashae ) and keep their finances in check (@youngwildandfinanciallyfree). There is a shift coming and Iām claiming increase on the entire city of Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
Leading up to this event you have no idea how many times I kept second guessing myself if the event would be a success. But then I remembered, when you #walkbyfaith you know that everything will turn out just fine. There were so many women and men that came out to this event now we will have a Facebook group to meet monthly to discuss goals and visions that we planted. It was about bringing together like minded men and women that want to succeed and help someone else other than themselves through their gifts and talents.
Thank you Pine Bluff for your support and also for birthing a queen like me 24 years ago. I put off writing this post for a while because the feeling I got from going to my hometown is more than just something for a blog or Instagram. It was about changing the mindset of the most smart and kind people that I grew up around. If you all don't know I moved to Texas immediately after highschool. I have come home a maximum of four times to visit my family and people I knew from highschool. Every time I came home I saw a problem that could be fixed with more information, more resources, and with bringing connections and network to the right people. That's one of the main reasons I started blogging in 2014, to help others get the tools they needed to get internships and a full time job with a company they admired.
I saw so many people that looked like me falling behind because they didn't have the exposure of travel, education, or even knowing someone in their network that had done something they wanted to do. So five-years later I was able to collaborate with women to bring knowledge and resources to the people I shared a zip code with. Five years later I was able to share a message that you can be successful with God at the center and if you don't know anyone that does something you want to do check out my podcast (@wbfpodcast). I'm still in awe of what God did and will continue to do for the people of Pine Bluff, AR and we're just getting started. If you want to know more about what we're up to at @faithtechgrow please subscribe to my email list that way I know who is really with the movement.
I can't wait to come back next year for an even bigger and better #BoardsandBrunch event.
