Last week, I had the privilege of sharing the heart behind 202Love with my business collective.
I began by asking everyone to close their eyes and think back to when they were teenagers.
❤️Who remembered to ask about your test?
❤️Who showed up to your games?
❤️Who encouraged you when you needed it most?
❤️Who made you feel seen, heard, loved, and protected?
For me, it wasn't just one person. It was a village.
That village inspired the creation of 202Love and our flagship mentoring program, Girls That S.P.A.R.K. It's our way of paying forward what was first poured into me.
I closed with a simple challenge:
"Now, I'm not asking you to close your eyes. I'm asking you to open them."
❤️Open them to the young women who need someone to believe in them.
❤️Open them to opportunities to make a difference.
❤️Open them to the people in your network who could become part of their village.
Who do you know that we need to add to our village?
Congratulations to our raffle winner! I hope you enjoy your 202Love tote and tumblers. One is for you, and one is meant to be shared because that's how villages grow. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who listened, encouraged, and shared connections. Every conversation has the potential to change a young person's future, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue building the village.
