We wanted to bring the discussion to you here! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Share below something you used to do as a kid that you wish you still did today! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS what's stopping you? 👇🏾👇🏻👇🏿

According to Ann Landaas Smith, “Circles with a sacred center are ancient, the oldest form of social interaction. The fire was in the center as the people cooked and ate their food, heard stories, worshiped their gods and goddesses, and passed down the traditions and wisdom that kept them alive and healthy.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We say at most of our events that we've lost the art of conversation. Whether it's at a dinner table or seated on the floor with throw pillows, one thing that we know is important and is IN.OUR.BLOOD. is that we need each other. We need the space to tell stories, to relate to one another and to practice listening. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We don't need to connect with everyone or even immediately, but it's powerful to hear someone else say something that you resonate with. It makes you feel less lonely and that's good shit in our books. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lady power by @theloop_dc @2622_events & @districtgraze

We adored these cute touches by @theloop_dc. Each attendee was given a playing card with a letter which they used to find their seat! It's the little things that really brought everything together ❤️

There's nothing better than a good laugh, the one that comes straight from the belly, warms up the heart and stresses the throat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PLAY was our theme for our topic dinner with @theloop_dc. We asked the women at the table, what is a characteristic they had as a child that they want to reimplement into their lives today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are always taken aback from the level of vulnerability our participants allow us to enter. That's what makes these events special, the gatherings memorable and planning these experiences for you that much more meaningful. We'll be sharing some snippets from our time together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We don't allow our participants to use their phones or talk about work, so you won't see too many pictures from this evening from our guests. Our intention is to always challenge our guests to shut down and listen up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you to Aviva from @theloop_dc for supporting us plan this dinner, where 100% of our profit went towards a scholarship for a future self-worth conference attendee. Cheers to @distrcitgraze for a phenomenal grazing breakfast-for-dinner food frenzie and to Katie at @2322_events who opened her doors to us and our community. We dined, cried, laughed and ate a boatload of sugar. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sending everyone love this Monday morning.

TODAY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't even know where to begin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The number of nights we have stayed up, the number of phone calls made, emails sent, annoying text messages, frantic late night meetings...the days we saw the importance of this campaign just by our own moments of self-doubt. The conversations that we have shared with other entrepreneurs and had recognized how much self-hate and anxieties that are carried... we always circled back to say how important it is for us to keep fighting and pushing this campaign. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I hope you'll be able to recognize is how much self-worth means to us. We're tired, both as women and spectators of our community, of seeing so many drowning in their sorrows, their relationships, their secrets, their depression, their loneliness…we see you, feel you and hear you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We might not meet our funding goal, but that doesn’t mean that we have not won something. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is at least one woman out there who will have a switch go off. One that has had a little web - an untouched button that has been passed by several times, but there was this looming hesitancy to press it. And that same woman has recognized that she is worthy…that she is capable, that she is deserving…that she is tired of not putting herself first. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And she pressed that button which is labeled as “courage.”

We broke $7k not including $1500 of private donations which puts us over $8500! We have two days left and we are so close to reaching $10k!! I know you are probably burned out on seeing us post about fundraising but you have no idea the difference we are about to instill on so many lives. Our cost for our venue will be $10k and we are so close to locking it down BECAUSE OF YOU! Let’s keep stretching! We have 7 dinner tickets left and the prices will go up after Sunday so snag me while they are hot. LET’S FUCKING DO THIS!

Did you know that 68% of female-owned business run their business from home? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only do we spend our free time at home building things out, but we're also on the toilet, the metro, the grocery line, more toilets...because we're trying to sneak in when we can to continue our outreach and impact. It's not easy and we know a lot of women out there who are doing the same. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Raise your hand if you run your biz at home!!!👋🏾

Um how contagious is @the_happy_medium_art smile? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WE HAVE RAISED $6,872! We're about to break $7k!!!! We got this ladies! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
72% of all donations are made by individuals.
15% are made by foundations; 8% are made through bequests and 5% are made by corporations. YOU make up the largest part of our funders. YOU have the most influence and we're seeing that come through. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WE HAVE 7 SEATS LEFT FOR OUR PRIVATE DINNER WITH @THELOOP_DC
