For my first time being interviewed in over three years, I had the honor of sitting down with the Founder and CEO of @aaccnj, #DrJohnEHarmon.

I’ve been interviewing so many movers & shakers, I forgot that I have a story to tell myself.

Thank you @tonedphotography for capturing this core memory moment for me and thanks to @nj1015 for hosting us.

It was truly an honor to cover @aaccnj #Juneteenth Innovation Expo. Peace to all of the founders and operators that conversed with me! My favorite part about being a journalist is that I get to learn from everyone that I interview.   Heres what I walked away with:
- Showing up is the whole game. The pitch can be perfected. You gotta walk through that door 1st!
- Reach back. Every seasoned founder in that room was already pulling someone up.
- Community is infrastructure.
- Own your narrative before somebody writes it for you.
- Proximity closes gaps. Connect with those that have ALREADY done what you’re seeking to do.
- Each one teach one.
- I love Philly… and Cherry Hill

Sometimes comfort comes from unexpected places. Sharpe this with anyone who needs this. You are not alone, you are more than what they think, you are everything good and deservi of all the love in the world. You are everything - Keep going. #inspiration #honestly #love
