🎓✨ Another milestone worth celebrating! On Thursday, October 8th, I proudly graduated from Chase Bank’s Coaching for Impact program! This experience has been an opportunity to grow, learn, and continue developing the skills needed to make a greater impact as an entrepreneur and community leader. Every step of this journey is preparing me to take Thyme to Eat to the next level while continuing to serve, inspire, and create meaningful change in my community. I’m grateful for the knowledge gained, the connections made, and the continued growth along this entrepreneurial journey. The vision is bigger, the mission is stronger, and I’m just getting started! 💚🌿 Thank you Chase Bank & Latrese Steplight 🎖🎉💐#ThymeToEat #ChefWanda #CoachingForImpact #ChaseBank #Entrepreneurship

Everybody wants to grow, but who are you growing with? 💯

I spoke with @ChefWanda of Thyme To Eat and we talked about putting God first, working together and being around people who are moving with the same purpose.

You can’t do everything by yourself. Sometimes that next step comes from a conversation, a collaboration or somebody willing to put your name in the right room.

She’s right here in Cleveland handling catering, meal prep and events. Go show her some love and tap into this conversation 🙏🏾

Follow @ChefWanda & @odmtv1. What’s something you look for in the people you keep around you? 👇🏾

A few… okay, 14 😂… of my favorite moments from @creative.meetups Year 4. 💜✨🩵

One of my favorite things about Creative Meetups is getting to see the people behind the work.

I love seeing families in the room.
Ideas that started as a thought and are now coming to life.
Friends operating in their genius and flowing in what they were created to do.

And the people who may not be building something themselves right now, but are showing up, cheering everybody else on, and making the room better just by being there.

That’s community to me.

My biggest takeaway? Community is vital to our growth. We need people who inspire us, challenge us, celebrate us, connect us, and sometimes simply remind us that we’re not doing this alone.

And honestly…it’s not always about the destination.

It’s about who you are becoming on the journey.

Four years of Creative Meetups has given me a front-row seat to watch people grow, pivot, build, create, connect, and become.

And I’m grateful. 🥹

Community. Connection. Creativity.

Here’s to continuing the journey… and apparently, taking 14 photos when I said “just a few.” 😂

FOUR YEARS. WHAT A NIGHT. 💜

Thank you to everyone who pulled up to celebrate 4 years of Creative Meetups! The love, energy, connections, and community in the room reminded us exactly why we do this.

We celebrated our 2026 Creative Meetups honorees, supported incredible local vendors, experienced Future Frames @2d_photography + our Podcast Pop-Up @thepullupexp , caught the vibes with @djd_grind , and shared a powerful Founder’s Talk with @alyshalellis , moderated by @qualitysirvice .

And of course, we finally made the announcement we’ve been keeping under wraps. 👀 In partnership with @futurelandcle , we introduced FLX — connecting Cleveland’s builders and ecosystem partners through one shared network. JOIN FLX TODAY 🔋

To every partner, vendor, honoree, collaborator, creative, and person who has ever pulled up — thank you for being part of this story.

4 years of community, collaboration + creativity. Look what we built together.

Life is in the process. 💖

Not just the highlight.
Not just the “made it” moment.
The process.

The pivots. The lessons. The unexpected wins. The “okay God, I see what You’re doing now” moments. 😂

I’m learning to stop rushing through the becoming and actually enjoy the building.

Because sometimes the process is the blessing.

So…what are you building, learning, or becoming right now? 👀

@creative.meetups 4YR Celebration was amazing! I’m still sitting in awe of just how good God is. Always.

What stood out most was the love in the room. Genuine love. Genuine community.

It is an honor to do this work with purpose. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has been worth it. The many people I’ve met along the way have truly impacted my journey.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us and to every person who helped make this night possible and memorable.

And to everyone who has made Creative Meetups what it is today… the creatives! 👏 Thank you for pulling up, sharing your gifts, building community, and believing in what we’ve created together.

It was important for me to slow down and truly celebrate this milestone as we usher in a new wave of what we’ve been building.

My heart is full 🫶

✨ 4 YEARS OF CREATIVE MEETUP! 🎉

Last night was such a beautiful reminder that community is about more than what we have financially—it’s about what we already have in our hands. 🤝🏽❤️

Acts 2:44–45 reminds us of the power of sharing our gifts, resources, and what God has given us to help one another. 🙌🏽

So grateful to celebrate the growth, the creatives, the honorees, and everyone continuing to build! 🎨🎤💡

Happy 4-Year Anniversary, Creative Meetup! 🥳 Here’s to what’s still to come! 🚀

Everyone featured will be tagged—go show them some love! ❤️

Stay on the lookout… Family Conference coming 🔜👀✨

The blessing is that not only are there rewards on this journey of saying yes, but I’m surrounded by family in the process.

I don’t take it lightly that I have a tribe not only in my personal life but also in my career. When God told me to step out into full time creativity ✨He said: “I’ve given you the time, creativity and capital. Your job is to network.” He knew He was talking to an introvert! Networking was VERY uncomfortable for me 😳. But I obeyed and here is the fruit 🍇.

A tribe of likeminded kingdom community transformers in alignment. You just never know what He has in store, but you can guarantee it will be exceedingly above what You can ask or THINK🔥.
