Culture Con 25’
Here are a few Gems I took from
@culturecon 1. It was my first year attending. I missed last year, waiting to get my ticket, so this year I bought mine almost 8 months in advance. I was geeked! I didn’t know what I was getting into but I just knew I wanted to be there.
Lesson #1: Don’t wait, because it may not be available. ( my life lesson, I swear 😩)
2. I went alone. I’ve never been afraid to travel on my own, but now that I’m a mother.. traveling alone isn’t something I do often. So it was new for me. But I’ve always enjoyed being by myself at events, I can move when I want, be as shy or out spoken when I want and leave when I’m ready.
Lesson #2: it’s okay to be comfortable in your own company.
3. Being there in that space, was inspiring and uplifting. I felt safe to be myself, around my people. It was so beautiful just getting to know everyone from so many walks of life. Also, seeing the amount of creatives professionals in their respective spaces really showed me how big life can be. It was like a melting pot of people( black people) from many different walks of life- some well know celebrities, influencers, business owners and the every day working class.
Lesson #3: Play small if you want, but you don’t have to for real. Take up space if you please , theres room- no need to over think it. Either way, the choice is yours.🤍
* The reason I went was to network- I did no such thing lol. I was too shy, unfortunately. But I did give my info out to a few people not many. But it’s okay, instead I went into a space where the vibration was so high that I felt uplifted when I left, robbed of nothing and gifted with inspiration.
Thank you @culturecon, for showing up and giving room to take space 🙏🏾
Last slide is me in my outfit being awkward. 😬 getting to get back to my content creation, just a lil rusty. 😂
