I did a thing. 💛

For a long time I carried my story quietly. Now I’m putting it on paper and sending it out into the world on purpose.

“Style With Intention” is my Speak Life Loud newsletter, and it holds a season full of firsts: speaking on stage, holding my published journal in my hands, and so many people who have poured into me.

If you’ve ever cheered me on, this one is for you too.

Taxman, Pollock & Bekkerman was proud to sponsor &Rise’s Comedy for a Cause, an evening bringing the community together for laughter, connection, and an important cause.

The event featured an evening of comedy while creating an opportunity for guests to be inspired and support &Rise’s mission of helping women in healing from trauma and abuse. Proceeds from the event help provide free services to women, including counseling, support groups, financial education, and professional development resources. We’re grateful to have been part of such a meaningful event and to support the work &Rise is doing in our community.

Thank you to &Rise for bringing everyone together for a great night!

Still thinking about Thursday night. 🎻

There was something so special about filling a room with music while everyone slowed down, reflected, and chose a word to represent the chapter ahead.

It was an honor to be part of An Evening of Lettering & Intention with @plumeandscript in support of @and_rise__ and the incredible work of its founder, Jennifer Solarte.

Jennifer turned her own journey as a survivor into a mission to help other women heal, rebuild, and thrive. Through &Rise, women survivors of trauma and abuse are given access to community, free counseling, support groups, resources, and spaces where they can feel seen and supported.

Being surrounded by people choosing healing, growth, and intention made the evening feel especially meaningful.

Music has a way of meeting us exactly where we are, and I’m grateful I got to contribute a small piece to a night supporting a mission that reminds women there is so much more to their story.

Here’s to healing, community, purpose, and rising together. ✨🙌🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻🌅🌞🦋🦋🌼
