Yesterday was my FIRST YFCon at the Anaheim Convention Center, and let me tell you…I’m ALL IN on what I call “TikToid Land!” 😂🔥

Creators, influencers, brands, entrepreneurs, and businesses from all walks of life coming together in one space. THIS is where business is heading.

I was even interviewed by a videographer creating content for The UpTik, and the questions about the future of social commerce had me reflecting on how much I’ve learned in just 60 DAYS with Sports Research.

My prediction? TikTok Shop is transforming how we sell, connect, and build businesses. Think Home Shopping Network meets Amazon on steroids! 😂
This space is moving FAST, and the opportunities are REAL.

If your business hasn’t started learning AI, social commerce, and online selling, it’s time to catch up. Need help educating your team? I’m available to coach!

And you already know I’m bringing this knowledge back to Chingona Community. We’re building economic empowerment through education, and 2027 is about to look DIFFERENT!

Stay curious. Stay ahead. 🔥

The future of our communities isn’t just about biology or business-it’s about the blueprint we build together.

locking in at the @inroadsinc national conference as an hbcu sci fellow was a masterclass in what it means to envision, elevate, and enact. Thank you @samshotit.rentals Angela Richardson Woods and @Yvonne McKinnon, MS for the leadership gems.

This is just the start of the 3volution. 🏙️🧬🧪

I’m excited to partner again with @inroadsinc as a speaker for their national conference for the second year in a row. 🎉

I’ll be sharing my workshop:
Building Your Authentic Leadership Style

We’ll discuss:
- What authentic leadership really means
- How to identify your unique leadership strengths
- Common barriers that keep us from leading authentically
- Practical, real world strategies to lead with greater confidence and impact

I’m looking forward to the conversation with our future AUTHENTIC leaders. 💗

⬇️What does authentic leadership mean to you?

2 key equity programs that I leveraged: 2/2 Inroads Inc.

For many students from underrepresented and lower-income backgrounds, summer breaks aren’t about building a résumé—they’re about earning a paycheck.

Through @inroadsinc , I secured paid corporate internships during my freshman to junior summers. Instead of choosing between making money and gaining professional experience, I was able to do both.

Beyond the paycheck, they provided mentorship, leadership development, and exposure to the corporate world that helped me build skills, confidence, and a professional network long before graduation.

I view nonprofits like these as equity in action—not lowering the bar, but creating pathways for talented students to compete, grow, and thrive.

HBCU ABLE is proud to recap our second annual Legacy Brunch! 🧡💜

This year’s brunch brought together students, alumni, and industry leaders for an inspiring afternoon centered on community, connection, and uplifting the next generation of HBCU leaders. It was also a special opportunity to reflect on just how much HBCU ABLE has grown over the past year, from showcasing our new campus ambassadors to our website update, improving the platform we use to support and provide opportunities for students.

We were also honored to give back directly to the Howard community through several scholarship giveaways to Howard students throughout the event.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible guest speakers, Rebecca Pearce and Erica Lee, for sharing their wisdom, guidance, and encouragement with our attendees. Your words truly left a lasting impact.

To our alumni volunteers, sponsors, students, and supporters, thank you for helping make this experience so meaningful and unforgettable. We are so excited to continue building this tradition and growing the ABLE legacy together.

WE ARE ABLE. 💜🧡
