Well, well... looks like they’ve pulled one again. Can’t say that I’ll post original videos here, and I’m sure the algorithm will demote me for it, but I’m not for duplicating efforts. So look for my #TikToks to show up here instead. Lol. #Reels. P.S. This will work, because all you anti TikTokkers are gonna try it just like you anti Snappers tried Stories and... welp. There ya go! Oh, and pick up my book at the LINK IN BIO.

Sis, we have rockstar leadership qualities in our DNA. We simply need to tap into them!

Sylvia Robinson demonstrated all the qualities, and most people don’t know her story.

She took hip-hop mainstream when she produced Rappers Delight in one take in her makeshift home studio with talent plucked the same day from a pizza joint. It was the first commercial rap single to hit the airwaves.

She was

💄innovative
💄creative
💄resilient
💄transformational
💄over-credentialed

Can you relate?

She had an entrepreneurial mindset, the same one that many of our most celebrated women leaders possess. But she operated in the margins and that is a superpower!

Ms. Robinson was a BOSS, although some referred to her as a “washed up disco queen.”

Do you know how many times she was told no? Yet she took the No. 1 disco hit and reimagined it as hip hop. You bet, she had some major players in rap saying “Who does she think she is?”

We need to hear these stories to inspire us and center us to lead like rockstars.

Mannnnnn-uscript! Mannnnnn what a ride!

This will be my souvenir to remind me that this has been a 2+ year journey, and boy was it something!

So many starts and fits, and you never really know how often other variables and people can either slow you down or provide momentum. There were a couple moments of disappointment, but if you know me, a no is only one step closer to a yes (more on that in the book too). But the thing that helped me most beside leaning into my faith was challenging myself with the same powerful questions with which I challenge my clients.

What can you learn from the disappointment, even when it was dead wrong and crossways?

That answer got me past an obstacle that could have had me wandering in the wilderness another good year. Instead, I was able to punch the gas, even in the midst of a pandemic and whatever else 2020 has thrown at us.

Make no mistake that you cannot do it alone. To everyone who listened, poured out, exchanged texts, emailed, offered sound advice, I thank you. I could have gotten stuck in the spokes of a machine that could have devoured this very important message that I began testing in 2018.
The message ultimately is “cut your own path and thrive.”

I took my own advice. Thanks to those of you who have already preordered the book. I can’t wait to release it to the world to support so many of my sisters who feel stuck, undervalued, misrepresented, maligned, devalued, misinterpreted or even simply comfortable but just accepting what’s in front of you at work.

You can still soar despite it all and lead like a rockstar. #NoThanks #leadership #newbook #sundayinspiration☀️
