We Made It!

5 Things I Learned at Passion

I just got back from Passion 2013. It was my first time. {I know. I know. I was way too self-consumed in college to ever commit to a trip like this.} And although I was a guest and have outgrown their target audience, I had a blast! It was an incredible way to kick off […]

Catalyst Day One – Session One

I’m hanging out at Catalyst today and loving every minute.

Who Broke Africa?

Last week I attended The Story Conference, an incredible gathering of creatives that takes place every September in Chicago.
