This week I was invited to be a shark for an entrepreneur pitch competition.

It didn’t hit me until this morning that I was in the position of “shark” or investor.

I’ve been dead set on having the right people invest IN ME and my evolving brand, especially in the season of transition I’m ending.

Then in the blink of an eye on a random Thursday, I was in the investor seat…and unlike years past it didn’t feel too big or scary. It felt right. It felt like I belonged. I didn’t need anybody to tell me I was welcome either. 🥰

Talk about a perspective shift.

And guess who was in the shark tank audience for a bit, watching everything? My kids. 🥹

Ok God! I’m watching 👀👏🏽
