You know that kid, who is a tiny rebel with a cause, with a strong side-eye and a giant smile and a kind spirit. They’re confident (sometimes to a fault. HA!). Big feelings, big personality, small package. I was her. I am her. You might be her. You might be …
On Multitasking, Mistakes and a Mission

On Overrated Checkmarks, Outdated Channels and Owned Communities
Thankfully, March is over because it really has gone mad. 😩 Another week, another tragic, unnecessary and completely avoidable school shooting. Plenty of thoughts and prayers are heading to the families in Tennessee, while in the meantime, their elected officials are out here saying they’re “not gonna fix it.” Hate …
On Iron Fists, Individual Paths and Inner Child

I’m “I Had a Xanga Blog” Social Media Years Old
Sometimes it’s fun to reminisce about the good ol’ days of social media and being online. You know? Before we realized the people who created it are basically Voldemort, planning world domination with our data. Young folks today don’t even know how much things have changed in such a short …
Snapchat is Weird and This Bob Marley Filter is Daft
Sometimes, I feel all old and cantankerous, because even as a digital strategist, I’ve resisted Snapchat for a while. I signed on early on and never really liked it. It was like Google Wave (remember that?) for me. You get on Snapchat and post video or pics of moments in …
