Something happened today that never would have been possible before attending the AI Advantage Summit.
As a woman veteran, today I had the honor of attending and helping sponsor the Women Veterans Interactive Foundation’s Pink and White Affair, and something truly unexpected happened.
For the very first time, I stood in a room full of powerhouse women veterans, leaders, and advocates, and I got to introduce myself as a tech startup founder. I pulled out a live working prototype of the app I have been quietly building behind the scenes since the summit wrapped up.
It was amazing seeing people light up as they saw the potential use cases for their own lives.
The moment when an idea that lived only in my mind suddenly became real enough to put in someone’s hands felt like stepping into the next chapter of my life in real time.
But the part that stayed with me most was this:
Sharing my app with people who immediately understood the mission behind it reminded me why I’m building it in the first place.
Real lives
Real needs
Real impact
Today made the work feel bigger.
And it made me even more committed to finishing what I started.
I left that room grateful, motivated, and more certain than ever that this is the right path.
I hope everyone here who is following their dreams stays their path and starts this next week with fresh momentum and determination!
