Our Future, Our Power: Black Women & Girls Rising


We are the future.

As Foundational Black American women, we stand in a unique and powerful position in history. I hope for us to start thinking about our future in an entirely different way — one that’s not just about survival, but about self-determined thriving. One that’s not aligning with what’s already here — what’s been established by white America — but instead comes from a place of centering the self. More specifically, even when it comes to how we see and embrace our own creativity.

I challenge every Black woman to ask: Where do we truly see ourselves?
Not just tomorrow, not just next year — but in the decades ahead. I don’t believe this is something we should leave to others to decide or determine for us.

For me personally, I’ve been living beyond the “right now.” My focus is on where we’re headed, not on matching or recreating what’s already been done. I’m not interested in imitating the past or simply recycling old models. My goal is to move to a level entirely new — to take action in ways never before seen.

And here’s what I know: to create at that level, it starts with me. Just as it starts with you.

The creativity of yesterday no longer interests me; it has lost its relevancy. But there’s still much range for new opportunities — newness in every form. If it exists here in 2025, then my mission is to go beyond it. To be a fearless trailblazer — spiritually, creatively, and culturally. To repeat is to replace. But to go beyond is to transcend.

This means reaching higher than mundane, earthly limitations — tapping into spiritual alchemy and transformation that unlocks new forms of creation. As I continue to learn and grow, I see the truth more clearly: everything begins within.

Anyone telling you that the answers are outside of you is steering you away from your own power.
You possess the answers.
You are the key.

It’s time to move with vision. It’s time to go higher.

Center Us or Step Aside: Feverse Innovation Starts with Black Women

The goal of Feverse Innovation isn’t—and will never be—about centering men. Let me be clear: we’re not building another system that asks women, especially Black women, to shrink ourselves, wait our turn, or pour endlessly into others while receiving nothing in return.

Feverse is about centering ourselves.
As women. As Black women. As girls.


We haven’t even scratched the surface of what’s possible when Black women unite—not in reaction to oppression, not for respectability, but for our own liberation. We’ve been conditioned to survive, to perform, to lead movements that don’t protect us in return. But now? We’re choosing a new direction.

This is about building something we’ve never truly experienced before: a system rooted in care, creativity, sovereignty, and innovation—with us at the center.


Feverse is not just a brand. It’s not a trend.
It’s a blueprint for our future.

It’s a living ecosystem—where Black women and girls can imagine, innovate, heal, build, and thrive


This is about creating real-world tools and systems that support us from the inside out. That means wellness, education, creativity, ownership, community, and actual economic liberation.


And let’s be honest: no other group has been as consistently suppressed, underfunded, underestimated, and exploited as Black women. That’s not opinion. That’s history. But that same history has produced the most brilliant, resilient, visionary women on this planet.

We’ve carried entire families, cultures, movements—and yet, we've rarely been poured into in the way we truly deserve. We’ve had to fight to be seen, to be heard, to be safe. And now, in 2025, we’re in a position to design something radically different.


Feverse is that design.

It’s where we build beyond the limits of what we were taught.
It’s where we reclaim our time, our energy, our joy, our rest, and our power.


This is about more than visibility—it’s about infrastructure. It’s about building a system that doesn’t just include us, but protects and uplifts us by default.

No one is coming to save us. And honestly? We don’t need saving.

What we need is space.
What we need is support.
What we need is each other.

Feverse is the space.
Feverse is the future.


Feverse is us—fully expressed, unapologetically centered, and collectively unstoppable.

We are the innovators. The architects. The blueprint.
It’s time we build accordingly.

Melaninated Women Preserving Our Voices: A Call to Document, Gather, and Lead Through Story

As someone deeply intuitive by nature, I found myself reflecting on my morning walk—thinking about the future of women, and more specifically, the future we have yet to create. My thoughts turned to an idea I believe is essential for Feverse Innovation to carry forward: the importance of women documenting our stories, our history, and our lived experiences.

Too often, our narratives—especially those of Black women—are told by everyone but us. Our voices are either distorted, erased, or lost entirely. What if we changed that? What if we intentionally began preserving our own stories through journaling, books, shared ancestral memory, and collective documentation? What if Feverse Innovation became a hub for this kind of sacred storytelling—a living library of the feminine experience?

I envision Feverse Innovation as more than a business. I see it as a powerful archive of womanhood—where the experiences of both the past and present are preserved for future generations. A place where women and girls can study knowledge from the feminine perspective, balanced thoughtfully with insights from men, yet rooted in the often-overlooked voices of women.

In mainstream society, we hear much from the masculine perspective. It dominates the lens through which history, science, culture, and even spirituality are taught. But what of the wisdom, truth, and insight carried by women—especially Black women? Our stories are often scattered or fragmented. This is about preservation. It’s about reclaiming our narratives and being the authors of our own truths.

We cannot afford to wait for others—especially white men—to tell our stories. We must take responsibility, not only for speaking truth to power, but for documenting and protecting that truth ourselves. Real change demands more than wanting power. It requires us to be responsible stewards of it. It requires courage—not just to rise, but to remember, to write, and to preserve.

This is not simply a call for more representation; it is a call for restructuring. A full restructuring of how our stories are told, how our wisdom is archived, and how our daughters come to know who they are—through our own words.

As we move forward, let us remain in control of our voices. Let us tell the stories that were nearly lost. Let us write the books our ancestors never got to finish. And let us gather that knowledge into one place—so that those who come after us will never have to wonder what we thought, how we lived, or what we dreamed.

Feverse Innovation is here to help build that bridge.

The Future is Black Women

It’s clear to me. Even looking at the current state of the world here in 2025, there’s a constant call for Black women to step in—to support the causes of everyone else. What that tells me is this:

  1. Black women, by and large, are the only ones truly capable.

  2. No one else really wants to do it.

  3. Black women are not only fit but highly effective at creating the change the world says it wants to see.

Black women + power go together real bad. It’s been a long-overdue journey to return to ourselves—but we are well on our way. Black women are the blueprint. So of course, we’re returning to the "drawing board"—not to save the world, but to tap into Source and redesign the systems we’ve long been excluded from. Only this time, it’s different.

Black women are turning inward. We’re centering self in a way we hadn’t in the past. We’re using our power to benefit ourselvesfirst—before anyone else. Because we now understand, clearly, what happens when we become the resource for everyone else: we are exploited. Taken for granted. Our ideas are stolen, monetized, and profited from—only to leave us with nothing in return.

Our spiritual and physical gifts have been used and abused, usually for the benefit of some white man—or someone who doesn’t look like us—who co-opts our genius to line their own pockets.

Black women have learned this lesson. And we’re moving accordingly.

We are creating a future that supports us as the creators. A future that centers us—first. As it was divinely ordered.

The world is shifting. Things are changing. The future is female—but specifically, it's Black Women leading the charge. That only makes sense. We’re often the only demographic with the lived experience to see the entire "board"—how systems intersect, how they harm, and where the gaps lie.

Even now, while the world panics, I can speak for myself as a Black woman: I am not afraid. Where others see chaos, I see opportunity. I see the opportunity for a better future.

And honestly? We’ve been in training this whole time. Many of us have been called to leadership—formally and informally. We are the very “independence” the world keeps talking about. We’ve never been dependent on a system that was never built for us. So it’s no surprise that those who benefitted from that system are now panicking at the loss of their comforts. What they failed to realize is that those comforts came with fine print: no guarantees.

This system was always going to turn on them—just like it did us. The difference? We’ve never had the luxury of comfort. We were forged in discomfort. And the system made a mistake: it underestimated the very group it tried to keep at the bottom.

We are brilliant. We are powerful. We are visionary.
And now? We are rising.

Black women are the future. The world as we knew it is over—and a new world is being born. One that we are leading.

New Faces of Leadership White Women – You Are NOT the “Solution” for Women

The thing is, White Women—you don’t fool us Black Women either. One of the advantages Black women have in this society is our unique position, which has allowed us to see, study, and understand the entire chessboard of society. We see your actions, your behaviors, and the ways you maneuver beyond what you think you're getting over on us. And I have news for you: we don’t believe you’re the solution either.

Swapping men for women in leadership without changing the system itself is just more of the same. We know many of you have been waiting in the shadows of your male counterparts, hoping they’ll move aside or pass the baton to you once this world system finally dismantles. But let me be clear—based on our everyday experiences with you, whether in social settings or the workplace—absolutely not.

Not only are you part of the problem, but if this were plumbing, you’d be the tools funneling the shit. I believe I can speak for most Black women when I say: we don’t trust you. And as change is actively on the rise, we absolutely will not be leaving our future in any way, shape, or form up to you.

You have stolen from us at every chance you could, built your entire lives without even a mere consideration of us, and now that we have an opportunity to change the world on a more global scale—we aren’t leaving it to chance. This goes beyond politics. Even in that arena, you were tested, and once again—you failed. And that’s okay because now that we have that out of the way, we are entirely out of your way.

Most of you are even more dangerous than the men you create. You smile while hiding your dirty hands. As an entrepreneur, I wouldn’t even consider aligning my businesses with you because of the harm you bring, your ideologies, and your lack of real sisterhood—even among yourselves. The truth is, most of you don’t like Black women. And I believe that stems from a lifetime of being told you were the standard—only to cross paths with a beautiful Black woman and completely unravel.

Guess what? Most of this society has been built on lies—including the illusion of your superiority. But that’s a history white people, on average, would rather avoid discussing. Personally, I no longer have white friends—especially white women friends—because I know your truth. The truth you deflect from and refuse to face. And I value truth over delusion. Just remember: you can’t compete where you don’t compare.

And the most interesting part? You don’t even believe you’re dangerous. You don’t believe this criticism applies to you. If you’re reading this thinking, "Not me!"NO, YOU.

The "word salad" and empty platitudes don’t work anymore. It’s accountability time. You claim to support Black women, yet you don’t invest in Black women-owned businesses. You believe, because society has propped you up as "better" than Black women—while being as bland as water—that you actually are better. But that’s simply not true.

In reality, you are just as bad, if not worse, than your white men in the workplace—and I can say from personal experience that this is true. Ask yourself: how many Black women-owned businesses have YOU financially invested in and supported without question?

At this point, with the rise of Reverse Innovation, marginalized communities need a space to heal from you. You steal our ideas, our creativity, and rebrand them as your own. Beyond Stanley cups and Lululemon, what have you trulyinnovated?

You sit in our faces claiming allyship while doing nothing to support our communities in ways that actually bring realchange—financially. It’s the same circular conversations and mental gymnastics. We don’t see you as the leaders we want or need for the future. The only leadership training you’ve had is under white men—the very system we are trying to break away from.

Black women have suffered—our livelihoods have suffered—at your hands. You push this narrative of "women’s empowerment" while ignoring the actual Black women who have endured the consequences of your vile behavior. You think we’ve forgotten? We haven’t.

We have every right to gatekeep our own future and ensure our OWN success—even if that means excluding you from the equation. What you, as white women, failed to account for was change. The times we’re in now are forcing accountability, and everything you’ve benefited from is blowing back—or even being stripped away from you. And one thing Black women will not be doing is coming to your aid.

This also means gatekeeping access to young Black girls. Don’t think we don’t see the disrespect you show toward them as well. Personally, I see it as critical that we center ourselves and young Black girls in the wake of these changes.

The days of "Oh, our men will take care of it" are over. Because, in case you haven’t noticed, your men aren’t stepping off their square to hand you anything—especially power and access.

And it goes without saying—this isn’t about ALL white women. But let’s be honest: it’s most of you. So much so that for all the white women who claim, "Oh, I’m not racist!" or "I have Black friends!"—ask yourself: why is racism still alive and well?

This is something white people could have done away with long ago, but instead, they have chosen not to—while quietly benefiting at the expense of our suffering.

And one final question: How many of you are actually ready to be led by Black women?

Exactly. My point.

White Men, the Workplace, and Their Problematic Behavior in Business

I’m not one to sugarcoat the truth. My focus is on Black women and girls, and one thing I can say with certainty is that I do not believe white men, over their long history of power hoarding, have done anything that extends beyond serving themselves collectively. It has never been about helping and supporting humanity as a whole. Instead, it has been about white men hoarding power and resources as a form of escapism and distraction from the real fact: their lack of intellect and ability to truly build anything substantial. It has always been about intentionally imposing suffering on the rest of the world, shifting and manipulating the system whenever they feel their dominance is being threatened, and never actually helping anyone but themselves.

Am I supposed to believe that white men—who regularly squander BILLIONS of dollars—are supposed to represent "good business"? That the same white men who bullied their way to the top of every industry—industries that are now failing and plagued with corruption—are supposed to be trusted to make sound decisions for humanity? Name one industry—just one—that isn’t fully exploited or tainted by corruption right now. I return to this question repeatedly, hoping that readers will begin to think about our current state on a systematic level. The reality is that their control over power has been a mistake for humanity, leading me to believe they were never actually meant to have such access in the first place.

White men suffer from a constant need for validation, a desperate attempt to be seen as superior to everyone else. But how can that be when, before a man even comes into existence, he must pass through the womb of a woman? That alone—by nature’s design—already deems him secondary. Time and time again, we see the same patterns: men with money gravitating toward circles of other men with money for the sake of ego, to flaunt wealth, and to be praised as if any of it truly matters to humanity. Yet their moral compass rarely aligns with actual change. They rely on smoke and mirrors, pretending to stand for progress while never actually committing to it.

We have white men in power who have long aged out yet refuse to step aside. White men who are utterly unqualified, sitting in rooms they don’t belong in—rooms they were never supposed to be in. With the shifts happening in the world, I believe they fear what’s ahead. They have marinated in their own mediocrity for so long that they have no idea how to function without dominance. The reality is setting in: not only are they losing control, but they were never the "chosen" group to wield power in the first place.

I see a future where true leaders emerge—not just white women, but women who have done the work to understand power and responsibility. White men have long used the workplace as a source of "ego empowerment." Having worked in many environments where their ideas and perspectives were centered, I can say with certainty that this is true. They enjoy the workplace because it serves as their playground—a space where they can exert control beyond their homes. It gives them unchecked access to women of all ages, especially since women are often forced to report to them. It’s a stage for them to flaunt what they perceive as intellect and belittle others with minimal consequences.

They misuse company dollars to fund their bro-sessions, lunches, and nightcaps, disguising them as business expenses. They cling to in-office workplaces, not for the work itself, but for the male ego boost—hence the fuss over "return to office" policies. It has never been about productivity; it has always been about maintaining spaces that coddle their lack of self-sufficiency. They thrive on workplace servitude, the performative act of signaling success to other men in power—"our numbers are up," "we are performing"—as if any of it holds real value.

Most women already recognize this. I’m simply saying the quiet part out loud. This behavior is a real problem, and it’s evident in their inability to take criticism while simultaneously expecting to be seen as "leaders." They refuse to listen to marginalized voices. They lack the capacity to consider others, and they certainly won’t put their money where their mouth is when it comes to investing in actual change. Why? Because they fear that their own mediocrity will be exposed. That they will have to face the harsh truth: "Maybe I’m not qualified. Maybe I don’t belong here."

The irony? They never were. Even by their own definitions of leadership, they fail to meet the standard.

The Fall of Mediocrity: Seeing Through the Corruption and Redefining Business with Integrity

White men's mediocrity is finally coming to its knees. I see nothing but opportunity for all others who decide to take the chance to add and bring value to the world. You know, I often think of the link between divine timing and our current times. I now realize why many ideas have come to fruition in the time I’d thought. It was like anytime I would make an attempt to bring about one of my business ideas, I was met with many obstacles. I also realize now, in hindsight, that under the current state of society, it wasn’t my time. Things that I cannot unsee:

Every industry is corrupt. Which means, any business I begin, I don’t want to build with a foundation of corruption. I will go a bit further and say that every industry is now corrupt, so where would I begin? A new business that can actually make a difference, one built with both integrity and authenticity—in an industry plagued with corruption? Yeah, it’s not my time yet. I can’t unsee it. I see it across the web, with the sale of “digital products,” the delusional portrayals of businesses performing well when, in actuality, they aren’t. Exploitation of customers and companies attempting to reduce their “accountability” in order to save company dollars. Going a step further, we can look even at insurance companies and how they’ve been recently dominating the headlines. The real question I can’t stop asking is, where is all the money? You have people who pay into policies monthly, only to be denied their claims of coverage when they need them most. This is what they call “business,” only to turn around and send the customers on a full-on chase to essentially try to get around not paying out their claims. BUT this is what they call “business.” I’m beginning to clearly understand not only that white men who have created “the rules” should not at all themselves be the faces of ANY business. Much of their businesses have been built on “savvy ideas,” many stolen and essentially smoke and mirrors. It’s to a point that I see it everywhere. 


They love the glory, the visuals, and even the “ideas” of success and the money. But can we actually say there’s been anything they’ve done to help in moving not just themselves forward by lining their pockets, but the actual collective? Not to mention, their same practices have trickled down to everyone else, in hopes to play the same game, while not realizing the game is rigged from the start. White men are literal scammers, and the worst are those in politics. Selling ideas, if you will, with no accountability or follow-through. White people love an idiot in power. I see through their BS, and I can’t unsee it. White men want to be the “genius,” the “guru,” so badly, it literally should be studied. These white men are literally throwing away funds on foolery. What they do know how to do is send an entire society into debt, steal, and then hide their hands to justify their actions, sending you on a whirlwind of mental gymnastics to avoid the truth.

Breaking Barriers: Reimagining Business with Integrity, Diversity, and Empowerment


As a Black woman who has always desired to do business uprightly, with honesty and integrity at the center, I have a strong desire to help and support women and girls by paving a new path—one filled with opportunities to empower them. Over the years, I’ve explored many avenues and opportunities in pursuit of making my dreams a reality. Morality is significant to me, so I truly desire to pave this way with integrity, honesty, and high values. It’s not enough for me to exploit the labor of someone else to help make my dreams come true.

A salacious businesswoman isn’t my personal path. As I begin to explore these opportunities and navigate this path, it has truly brought about many challenges. I’ve realized that it wasn’t my dreams that were the problem—it’s the industries themselves. This issue is far greater than I anticipated. This is corruption on a global level. It made me think and observe even more, and it began to answer many of my questions about why I haven’t been able to see the progress I desired. Then I began to look at even the initial steps of starting a business. Why is it plagued with this idea of being “hard”? Why? From the very beginning, it’s something I can’t unsee. From the time of registering a business name, you’re being exploited. To the time of trademarking your business, to every step in between, a business owner is met with an expense at every turn. Add to that the annual recurrence of these expenses, and business owners are being exploited well before the business is essentially off the ground. I refer to this as “government business” exploiting entrepreneurs. I then must ask, at what point do we begin to question this?

Then I began to think about the industries themselves. I am working on a beauty and lifestyle brand that centers melanated women. I started to think about the industries as a whole, and at that point, I realized there is such a small number of women CEOs in the beauty and lifestyle industries—despite women being the largest consumers of these goods. Who’s at the top? As Black women, being the top consumers of these goods, it’s not enough to have our faces represented at the top. This gives new meaning to why things aren’t always working out when we think they should. Could it be because the right people you need to connect with haven’t crossed paths with you yet? I am beginning to see just how deeply important values are and how there are also so many in the space who are willing to act without integrity or values that go beyond just focusing on themselves and greed. Hence, we are where we are right now. There’s not one industry performing successfully without silent exploitation or greed of some sort. It’s something I cannot unsee. This also makes me question the values of those who say they’re doing “business” without values—business that is one-sided and only for their personal gain. With so much of this occurring, it’s no wonder the industries are imploding. 


It’s literally baked into the system. Why is it so hard to imagine a better world where businesses are sustainable, and more than just the few at the top actually thrive? I’m almost certain that the ones who hoard resources and sit at the top—typically white men—are essentially the most unqualified. This is clear. How isn’t there more Black women CEOs, considering we are essentially the most educated demographic in the world? I also have to further note that this very discrepancy is growing and is essentially on its way to being questioned by many. You have executives and CEOs in companies they barely know anything about, and they are only there to take and acquire for financial gain without giving anything back to society or humanity. Now look at the industries—the job markets are all falling before our eyes. It makes me question, what have they been doing REALLY with all the profits acquired? Making outlandish purchases without oversight? Or perhaps showing off for the “boys and the bros” by behaving badly when no one else is looking, all at the expense of company dollars.


When I think of our future, I see more women in leadership positions. And when I say more women, I’m not defaulting to just white women. Because, if I’m honest, I don’t see much success there either. I believe we need and require diversity in leadership. We need to base our new leaders on values, integrity, and accountability. I don’t find white women-only leadership to serve humanity as a collective. They’ve honestly been playing second fiddle to white men for so long that it would be dangerous for us to place hope back in the hands of that community, as they too have served as enablers of white men. We need diversity—a split of power dispersed amongst the many versus solely one. Especially considering how they’ve shown us all exactly how they perform and their tactics. Now, is this all of them? Maybe not. But we can safely say it’s most. Ask yourself, would any white people be okay being led by Black women? Again, I must say it’s most. I will continue to speak more extensively on these topics in future posts. I just wanted to share many of my current thoughts on the world right now.

The Great Unraveling: Embracing Change During a World Awakening


The world is truly in the midst of a shift like no other. We are experiencing a global awakening—something I have intuitively sensed for a long time. With authenticity emerging more than ever, it feels like a relief, a significant step forward.

As someone who has observed the patterns of the world, I knew it was only a matter of time before this change arrived. Some of us are leaning into it, trusting the process, while others resist and find themselves struggling. But we are all here for a purpose, in this exact moment, to usher in a new world—a new reality. To know this is to trust that something much better is on the way.


In a time when the illusions of the world—the "smoke and mirrors," if you will—are being exposed, I have been using this period to dismantle my own beliefs, questioning much of what I once thought I knew. It takes courage to challenge old ways of thinking while continuing on my personal path, embracing my truth and authenticity. I find that authenticity in creating.


The world is changing. Those who have suffered are beginning to come into awareness, preparing for better. Meanwhile, those who once clung to power and control are losing their grip—and it’s happening faster than we realize. I often reflect on this and the intricate structures and rules that have governed our lives, and I recognize something crucial: for true transformation to occur, these outdated systems must collapse.


Every major industry in America is corrupted in some way. Consider that for a moment. The way we work, the way we do business—all of it has been built within a broken system. How can integrity and honesty thrive in a structure that was never designed to support them? What must happen to correct this?


You wouldn’t patch a leaky pipe in a new home and expect it not to burst and destroy the house. Likewise, we cannot build new systems with corrupt foundations. This is why the dismantling of these industries must continue before true change can take place. We need entirely new ways of working, living, and conducting business—ways that empower creatives, honor freedom of expression, and allow people to directly profit from their gifts instead of being exploited by corporate entities.


Power to the people.


A new world is emerging, full of opportunities. Many of us are now beginning to understand why certain things never worked out before. The falsehoods we once sensed are finally being exposed. It fascinates me to watch how some people cling so tightly to the familiarity of their lives, resisting change at all costs. I once knew that feeling, too. Now, I find myself observing with a mix of fascination and sadness, knowing that change is inevitable.


I think this is why I enjoy speaking with children so much. There is an air of limitless possibility in them, a natural ability to see beyond the constraints that many adults are too busy or too conditioned to question. Children are still open to new ideas, whereas most adults have spent their lives clinging to a system they were taught to depend on—afraid of the unknown.


I can’t say I blame them. But for someone like me, who has been aware of this shift for some time, it doesn’t come as a surprise. I have moved past the fear of change. My life itself has been in a constant state of transformation, and I know there are others like me—people seeking to create something better, to build a world that truly serves us all.

The Silenced and Hidden Voices hold the Keys to Unlocking New Solutions And Possibilities!




A common theme I’ve observed in society today is the silencing of many voices when a person doesn’t fit into a certain “criteria or box.” So what happens? Their opinions go unheard or unshared because there’s no space for them to speak. This often leads me to wonder: what if that person were given the opportunity to share their voice? What if they actually had the solution to a problem that could save a company millions or address one of humanity’s pressing issues? What if it were that simple? But because of the unconventional nature of society, this person remains unheard.

I believe that many of the answers we seek today to address the outstanding problems in society already exist. The solutions are here, but they reside among the unsuspecting. It’s something I often find myself contemplating. I saw this dynamic frequently while working in different jobs. I’ve even experienced it personally many times. I often feel like someone who is hidden from the rest of the world, as though no one truly sees me yet.

I now understand that this is a superpower and a form of protection—one that I’ve learned to embrace. The world isn’t quite ready yet, and there is a certain level of spiritual training, maturity, and development that goes along with this journey. It’s not an easy path to take. Many people in my life, even my parents, assume they “know” me. In reality, they only know a tiny piece of who I am. Even I am still learning about myself.

What’s even more interesting is that those who claim to know me have no idea about this part of my life. My life has been full of twists and turns, but I wouldn’t change it. Why? Because it has led me to this point of seeking to solve big problems for the future. When I reflect on the many experiences I’ve had, I realize that they’ve been a chain of events providing me with a fresh and constantly evolving perspective. This unique perspective shapes how I navigate the world and understand people.

I needed these experiences to see where many of the problems lie, to understand and uncover my true calling, and to grow into a better leader. It’s no easy feat. Attempting to put a timeline on this process would be futile—I’m sure the universe is having a good laugh at the very idea.

This journey of discovery and self-awareness is what equips me to think differently about problem-solving and innovation. I’ve come to appreciate that the solutions to the challenges we face often come from those who are overlooked or dismissed. These are the voices and ideas that have the power to shape a better future. Embracing this perspective requires humility, patience, and a willingness to listen to those who don’t fit the conventional mold.

As the world continues to evolve, there is an undeniable need for diverse perspectives and unconventional thinking. The silenced and hidden voices hold the keys to unlocking new solutions and possibilities. My journey has taught me to embrace the twists and turns, to value the lessons they bring, and to use them as a foundation for addressing the challenges ahead.

The future will not be shaped by those who conform to the status quo but by those who dare to think differently and amplify the voices that have been unheard for too long. This is the essence of true innovation and the key to creating meaningful change.

A Message to Women & Girls: Its Time We Redefine OUR Future


The world as we know it is changing. For decades, even centuries, we have predominantly been guided by one perspective: the man’s perspective. From how laws are crafted to the way businesses operate, this singular viewpoint has shaped much of the world we live in. However, as humanity continues to evolve, there is no greater opportunity than now to challenge these dynamics and reimagine the future. Much of the world and its systems, as we’ve known them, are undergoing profound transformations. With these changes, the way we live, work, and create is also shifting.

This pivotal moment prompts us to ask: what opportunities lie ahead for us as women? For so long, we have operated within systems designed without our unique perspectives in mind. But now, as these systems evolve, there is space to redefine how we approach everything from community-building to business creation. What does life look like for women in this new era? Will we finally adopt approaches that prioritize the safety and well-being of women and girls? Can we seize this moment to build communities where we are centered and protected?


Beyond safety, this shift presents an incredible chance for healing. For centuries, women have been asked to adapt to environments that often stifle their innate gifts and talents. But as the world changes, it’s time to give ourselves the permission to nurture those talents—to create spaces where we can grow, thrive, and fully express our potential. This is about more than just carving out space; it’s about reclaiming our voices and stepping into our power.

The world is ripe with opportunities to change things for the better. But real transformation requires intention. Rather than leaving decisions about our futures to others, particularly men, what if we made those decisions for ourselves? What if we leaned into this moment of change and began crafting systems and solutions that truly reflect our needs, values, and aspirations?


Imagine a future where women lead with empathy, creativity, and innovation. A future where businesses are designed to support work-life balance, ensuring that women no longer have to choose between professional success and personal fulfillment. A future where communities are built on principles of collaboration and care, prioritizing the well-being of every individual. This is the kind of world we can create if we harness this moment of change.

But seizing this opportunity requires courage. It means unlearning the limitations that have been placed upon us and stepping boldly into roles we’ve been told aren’t ours to claim. It means redefining leadership, not as a position of dominance but as a platform for empowerment and inclusion. It means investing in ourselves and each other, recognizing that our collective success uplifts everyone.


There’s also a need to shift the narrative around what it means to be a woman in power. For too long, power has been associated with control and authority. But what if we redefined it as the ability to inspire, nurture, and create? What if power was about collaboration rather than competition? By embracing these ideals, we can build a future that reflects the values of care, equity, and shared prosperity.


The world is changing, and with that change comes an unprecedented opportunity for women to lead. This is our moment to rewrite the script, to envision a future that prioritizes safety, healing, and empowerment for women and girls everywhere. The question is no longer whether change is possible—it’s happening all around us. The question is: how will we, as women, shape it?


Let us step into this moment with confidence and determination. Let us dream bigger, create bolder, and stand stronger. Because the future is not just something we inherit—it is something we create. And the time to start is now.
