Please join me in wishing one of my incredible mentors a Happy Birthday!
I’m going to be brief because if not, I will not sleep—but I didn’t want the day to get away from me before showering @Colin Yearwood with all the birthday admiration I could from every which direction—including from The Accomplice Accelerator and Identity & Belonging Lab communities!! So much of what I’ve been able to accomplish from getting this group together and believing in its value to having the courage to even send out some of the DMs that many of you have received with a personal invitation to webinars is thanks to his guidance around ethical sales AND our shared anti-oppression, pro-impact values. When we talk about how important representation, leadership and encouragement from people that look like you, this is what I mean. One of the things that most strikes me when Colin talks about his clients is ownership: “We did this. We accomplished that. We reached this audience.” Folks, no one is self-made—and I am no different. Thank you so much for being in my corner, for helping me pick myself up when things felt too hard, hopeless or overwhelming, and for inspiring me to continue to make sure this series, this community and this work reaches each and every person that needs it during these critical times. You’re the best, Colin!!
