The Iron Network was in full effect on Sunday! Even with the weather and it being the first year, I can't believe how big it was. So many tough people rode out the storm, making it an amazing success. Honestly, it couldn't have been done without some amazing people.
1st: Gregg J. Martinez , for giving us this amazing opportunity and letting us do this at a place where we all feel like family— Iron Tails Saloon. Thank you for always giving people opportunities, believing in visions, and being an amazing mentor and friend. 🙏🏻
2nd: I want to thank some amazing ladies, Amber Singleton with Black Pine Creative Co. and Isabella Njenga with BronzedbyBella. They put this event on their backs, went above and beyond, and did absolutely everything possible to make it powerful and unforgettable. There is nobody I'd rather share this with; you ladies were absolutely amazing. 🙏🏻
3rd: Thank you to all the vendors who came out, showed love, and had so many amazing things to say and contribute during the interviews. I know I asked a lot of people to get out of their comfort zones and do something many of us have never done before. ❤️ Being nervous and scared to get in front of the camera to talk takes a lot of courage. I know a bunch of people who tell everyone on a daily basis that they can be something better, they want more, and they aren't scared of the risks. We all stood strong and did the damn thing! It was amazing. The only thing I regret is the fact I couldn't get to every vendor there, but there is always next time! Thank you all for being amazing and showing support for this event and everything it stands for. ❤️🤟🏻
