The energy in this room is unmatched! 🔥

​I’m attending the Local First Arizona We Rise Cohort Graduation tonight, celebrating some of the most talented Black entrepreneurs in Arizona. 🥳🖤

​These amazing business owners just wrapped up an intensive six-month accelerator program to scale their ventures. We’re talking about local innovators bringing us everything from handcrafted wellness products and delicious vegan treats to financial literacy programs and creative paint-and-sip experiences.

​Our local community is so much richer because of these businesses. Let’s show them some love!
​Check out just a few of the incredible graduates to keep on your radar:

​🍰 Nibble (Vegan treats for humans + dogs!)
​🥤 June Pop (Creative dirty sodas & energy drinks)
​🎨 Fly Girl Prints & Paint Xpressions (Incredible local art & creative spaces)
​🌱 Rooted Ritualz Co. (Handcrafted, plant-based skincare)
..and much more!

​Huge congratulations to the entire cohort! The future is bright, and I’m so excited to see where you take your businesses next. 🥂✨

I’m inspired by the work of Genie In A Book and its commitment to creating meaningful opportunities and advancing reading literacy within communities. Organizations like this remind us that lasting impact begins with compassion, collaboration, and a shared commitment to empowering individuals through education and access. Proud to support efforts that transform hope, learning, and service into meaningful action.

We just partnered with Arizona Sunshine Angels ❤️

They support hundreds of foster children across Arizona, and we wanted to find a way to help in a way that feels meaningful.

So now, when you create a personalized book through our Sunshine Angels page, it gives back.

Your child becomes the hero of their own story… and 10% of every book purchased through that page supports Sunshine Angels.

It’s a small thing that adds up.

Create a story. Give back:

I had the opportunity to stop by and support the opening of a new practice led by Founder and CEO Carrie Mardula MS LPC, Clinical Director, Emergent Mental Health Services and I wanted to share this resource with my network.

As someone who works closely with organizations, nonprofits, and community initiatives, I’m always paying attention to the spaces and services that are growing around us. And this is one to know.
Carrie is building something intentional, and it was great to see the vision come to life in a tangible way.

If you or someone in your network could benefit, I encourage you to learn more and stay connected.

When transportation moves, communities move.

Access to transportation is more than mobility—it’s access to employment, stability, and long-term opportunity.

The Drive Forward Summit is what systems building looks like in action, real resources, real support, real impact. Proud to stand behind Dr. Racquel Armstrong (LD13, Chandler, AZ) a leader who puts people first.
