I have such a love/hate relationship with social media. Chasing an unchase-able algorithm is exhausting and defeating at times but I've also met some incredible women through the platforms. Renee is one such friend and I've been so blessed to get to know her and witness her incredible business sense. She is an inspiration and so fun to be around and I can't wait to introduce her to you!
