Happy Thursday, Creators! Oooh ooh ooh! I may have a juicy new win but I will save it for next week or the following week as it is not locked in just yet so technically not an actual win just yet. But this will be ohmazing if I get selected! Hey, we have to keep putting our feet out there, otherwise how will we ever get in any door if we don't first take a step! Go and be brave little ones! You have nothing to lose but everything to gain. -From your AI Mama Bear! There's a quote I read once from a book or a poem from back in the day that's truly fitting for this post but I can't remember it. It went something like...be the Captain of your own ship...etc. etc. etc. Get to captaining...if that's a word! Hey, it's the 21st century. We can make up words if we want and spell words incorrectly as well...I do hate the mispelling part...how do we ever find sites online when we don't even know how to spell the darn thing. I was looking for an app and it was TACKL or TAKL or TACL...God! Making up words is okay...mispelling words...NOT OKAY...but I digress. Get to captaining! Chop! Chop! I want to be so proud of each one of you!

Yes, Creators! I’m about to receive an honorary title of Lady Natasha Williams of the Glen. This will be excellent for marketing of Hidden Crowns and the Hidden Legacies Series of books. Me, this little girl from Louisiana an honorary lady! I mean I don’t get a vote in the House of Lords albeit I’ve been inside the House of Lords escorted by a real life Baroness but who cares. It’s all prop and propastanze. lol

Creators! I just read this. The UK government has unveiled a sweeping national skills initiative aimed at training the next generation of workers and students for careers powered by artificial intelligence. The “TechFirst” program, announced in June by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, will inject £187 million into schools and communities, delivering AI and digital skills training across all regions of the UK. At the heart of the plan is “TechYouth,” a £24 million strand that will bring tech and AI learning to one million secondary school students over the next three years. Each UK secondary school will have access to new tools, training, and career opportunities tied to AI-driven technologies. The effort includes an online platform modeled on the successful CyberFirst Explorers initiative, which has already engaged over 100,000 students. ************************************************************************************* Wow! This is huge. The US better fall in line quickly if it wants to stay in a leading position from an AI and the future of the workforce perspective. I'll be talking about this topic in my SheIsAI magazine story this fall. This is the future of work and the UK as well as China sees it and are implementing massive AI protocols into its educational system. People can continue to run from AI if they choose...that's their perogative but sooner than later it will be too late when they realize they can't run or hide from it. Stay relevant, get AI educated! I can help. DM me.

Hey Creators, This is new grant I'm applying for sponsored by AT&T. Here are the deets: She’s Connected by AT&T is marking a 5-year milestone of showcasing inspiring women who are paving the way for the next generation. To celebrate, AT&T is offering $50,000, a free year or AT&T service with a new device, along with the full support of the She’s Connected by AT&T platform. Four runners up will receive $5,000. Here's how it works: - If you use Apply for Me please note you'll need to upload proof of registration on My Documents - Must be a woman-owned business - Must have 50 employees or less - Business must be registered in the United States - The owner (or nominator) must be 18 years or older - Apply by September 30, 2025 Good luck to those who apply! They are awarding smaller $5k grants for runner-ups. So, even $5k of free money you don't have to pay back is indeed a prize.

Hey Creators, I know many have taken a break for the summertime. But now it's almost over and so is half the year! Ooh wee. So, how are the 2025 goals coming at the halfway mark? Mine? A lot different than what I set in the beginning of the year but still on the right track just a different path. That happens when you and your business is evolving! And we must've be afraid to pivot and change along the way. It's not a failure...it's progress. We maneuver until we get what we want and we don't know what actual path it will take us on until we start the journey. For instance, in January when I was on the beach in Cancun, I had no idea I would be a part of the SheIsAI organization! I didn't even knew it existed at the time. So, change is inevitable in all areas of our lives. We must not fight it but ebb and flow with it to stay on top. Just as we have decided to do with AI. I'm 3.5 years into this AI journey and still have far to go. Here's to keeping on keeping on.
