And yes. That is a Magnolia tree... Right at the entrance. 🌺
This campaign supports the acquisition of a working retreat and community events property in Barcelona, Spain under ownership of a Catalan-American family. It would be the first Black-owned project of its kind in the country. We are creating a home-away-from-home for impact leaders and creatives on a journey to find, discover and execute projects that change the world—and we want you be part of making it a reality just in time for the 4th Edition of the Reparations Race this coming Juneteenth (6/19) 2025!
Truth be told, I almost cancelled this presentation five separate times this morning. Then, I got a little morale boost and a wave of activation energy—and accidentally cancelled the event on Zoom.
But by then, I knew I was supposed to follow through. So I did. And here we are.
If you missed today's presentation, there's good news and bad news. The bad news is that I'm letting you all in on this with this quick edit of some footage I took on a visit to the house last week with my darling realtor-friend-partner-in-crime-and-mirror-sign-mischief, who you all will meet very soon.
The good news? Due to technical difficulties with the livestream on LinkedIn today, I've just added a repeat of this presentation for this Friday, March 21 at 8am CDT (Chicago)//2pm CEST (Barcelona). Click here to register to attend the Zoom webinar, or to RSVP for the livestream on LinkedIn! Listen in to learn more—and stay tuned as I'll tell you more of how this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presented—or rather, manifested—itself with a little help from lil-ol' generator me that is only just now learning the immense power of willing a dream into existence so hard that realizing it becomes inevitable.
In the meantime, get familiar with the THREE ways to support this historic acquisition mission (look how simple I made that—who am??)
1️⃣ The NUMBER ONE most empowering and sustainable support system is to pay and send folks to TheFutureOfDEI.com to join us for The Future of DEI Virtual Summit on May 12-16! Accomplice Accelerator Community Members take 30% off either pass option with the code AAMEMBERSONLY25 at checkout. A reminder that Identity & Belonging Lab Members receive VIP access INCLUDED in membership—no action required on your part to redeem. Our new affiliate program will be announced at the top of next week! 2️⃣ Make a one-time cash contribution at ko-fi.com/holamagnolia starting at $5! There will be monthly and recurring options to support us. Please know that no contribution is too small. This is a marathon, not a race! 3️⃣ Finally, and this is the most special of all campaign perks: become one of our first house guests in July-September 2025! Head to ko-fi.com/holamagnolia/shop to pledge starting on Friday 3/21 at 8am CDT//2pm CEST. There will be ready-made coaching retreats for booking (preview ready-made option here), custom 1:1 and private group retreat options, and family/friend group/individual stays available. All pricing will be all-inclusive—you just get yourself to us and we take care of the rest! The more reservations pledged, the faster we'll reach our bold $285K goal that secures us immediate access in 2025 and ownership of the property in 2026!! Our first milestone is our first $15K USD in direct contributions, travel pledges and Future of DEI Virtual Summit Sales by March 31!
However you choose to contribute—even if it's helping spread the word and joining in our affiliates program so YOU can also earn money for your time and energy (or even pay for your trip?!)
Thank you all so much for being part of this terrifyingly exhilarating but exciting moment to be part of the Hola Magnolia community.
