I wanted aesthetic cafe content, but I shared aesthetic bloopers 🌶️ Last week at @weareluminary Live DC, I shared how spilling Tabasco sauce changed my personal brand strategy. That messy unfiltered video? It got me MORE client inquiries than any polished post. Because people don’t connect with perfect. They connect with REAL. ——— Here’s what I told the room: Your story is your strategy. Your personal brand is your resume. It’s the trust you build by showing up and being authentic. Smart people stay invisible because they don’t show up. You’ll second-guess everything. It will feel cringe AF. Do it anyway. 🔥 ——— I wrote about the 5 lessons I learned + AI tools that 10X’d my growth on @thedigitalrunway 💬 comment RUNWAY and I’ll send you the read ——— Huge thank you to Luminary and @ipadewoc for the space and my panelists for the real talk💕 What’s holding YOU back from showing up authentically? Let’s talk about it below 👇 ——— Personal branding, women in business, dc, dmv, dc dmv events

I love the moments that force me to reflect on the journey & remember just how divinely orchestrated it’s been. The icing on the cake is it inspiring someone else. 🩷 Honored to have been invited to celebrate @doingitall.podcast’s one year anniversary as a special guest for their live show. This episode is going to be goooooood. 😉😂🫶🏾 Hair: @vitaman_tee
