I made a slightly viral post... let's talk about it.

An organization that alleges to care deeply for children not only claims that same-sex parenting
shouldn't exist... but that it doesn't exist at all. But, if it didn't exist, there would have been no need to make the billboard in the first place. It's pretty incredible how hate can blind people from denying the truth. Not what should be and shouldn't be... but what simply is.

The billboard reads: No child has two dads. No child has two moms.

This messaging was absolutely unacceptable and needlessly hurtful, and as the Director of
Marketing and Communications of Whitley County Pride, it was time to say something. The
President of WCP reached out and asked what we can do to respond to this unfortunate
billboard, and I knew just the thing: Respond with kindness while holding them accountable. 💖

In 20 hours since posting the "corrected" imageand the caption I wrote:
💛 Over 1,000 humans and counting reacted positively to the post (all-time largest post for
WCP)
🦄 Currently 12 comments of gratitude, kindness, and people sharing their safe spaces
🌈 Nearly 60 shares from people spreading our message to their own communities

What's my marketing strategy? Pretty simple: advocate for humans. advocate for love. advocate for kiddos. advocate for every voice. advocate for EVERYONE.

Will it always get me likes and comments and shares? Perhaps not. Will I miss out on opportunities because I am willing to speak out and support others? Unfortunately, probably.

This is what being a creator is all about. I try my best to blend in and be neutral when I can and
be professional when I can, but not at the cost of not advocating for my LGBTQIA+ friends and
community members. They aren't going to stop the hate, but we're not going to stop the love,
either.

Thank you for being here. If you're able, PLEASE donate to Whitley County Pride to keep
this wonderful organization going.

HUNGRY? There are SO many yummy things right now at Hope and Honey, and I am honored Sarah trusts me to capture her beautiful food. If you're in NE Indiana, you've got to go DM her and try out some of her baked goods tomorrow at her porch pickup or this Monday at Flawless + Hep.cat Boutique!

Before this photo is printed and the new owners officially have the rights... WE'VE GOT ANOTHER WINNER PHOTO!! Battle Creek Unlimited sought KCC student, alumni, or employee art for purchase for permanent collection in a Battle Creek Food Reimagined location in downtown Battle Creek. I submitted several works, and while I was surprised my crowd-pleasing bluebird photos weren't selected, this photo was taken in Friendship Park, steps away from downtown where the new space will be.

Thank you Kellogg Community College for sharing this on your LinkedIn; I'm so thankful I can continue to give back to my hometown as an alum.

Believe it or not... one more leadership role is being added to my belt: I'm one of two current Steering Committee members for Matthew Dyer's 3 Years: Tales from the Pandemic! Matthew has trusted me to monitor the overall health of the 3 Years community and provide recommendations and feedback from myself and community members who feel comfortable discussing their thoughts with me directly with Matthew and contribute to a welcoming and inclusive environment to all members.

3 Years: Tales from the Pandemic is a creative community and professional association built around the stories of artists, storytellers, musicians, and makers whose creative journeys were shaped by the pandemic. Every creator has a different experience to share—positive, negative, or somewhere in between—and the goal is to preserve those stories while helping creators continue to grow.

If you're interested in learning more about and possibly become a member of this community, I highly encourage you to check out the website and register for the newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/ghSvf532

This past weekend, we had our first 3 Years Community Town Hall, joined by the wonderful Praveena Ramani, and it was such a pleasure to be able to connect and learn more about one another. Her works can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/inkspirations.by.pr/
Both Matthew and Praveena had some great insight on curiosity creating opportunities, networking through better conversations, and listening first, then building connections from there. As an anxious introvert... I will happily take all the pointers I can get!

💩 New reel drop! 💩
While I still have a lot of learning to do in the video/reel world... this was pretty fun to make. Tyler at Wee Doo Poo, LLC has been the best to collaborate with!

Hello, all! After today, my services will be unavailable until July 6, and it may take me a day or two to get back to you from there, depending on my workload. So blessed to be busy! Thank you all for shopping small and supporting a local graphic designer trying to make a name for herself 💛✨
