If you’ve joined us from Dr. Barlow’s African American Studies class, Hilmantok, HBCUTOK, or TikTokUniversity—welcome! You’re in the right place. For previous members, sorry about the confusion. There is a video attached that will make things make sense. For all members, a syllabus will be available by 11:59 PM, so stay tuned. In the meantime, take a moment to introduce yourself: 1. Who are you? 2. Where did you learn about Inner Act? 3. What inspired you to start building your confidence? 4. What do you envision for yourself or your community in the next year? We’re excited to have you here—whether you’re new or returning—and can’t wait to hear your story, connect, and grow together. Once you introduce yourself, you can start here: https://www.skool.com/club-nikole-8077/classroom/7f325871 Remember: The community you build—whether online or in person—should be about connections and stories. Let’s make this a space where confidence, creativity, and community thrive! Let me know if you’d like further refinements!

Progress never sleeps, even during the holidays or while you’re on vacation. Whether the festive season brings cheer or challenges (hello, depression), here’s how to keep the momentum alive: 1. Set the Stage with a Micro-Goal: Small, impactful moments can make all the difference. Choose one tiny action that moves the needle. Think: replying to one email, jotting down one idea, or organizing one corner of your space. Small wins fuel big moves! 2. Improv Your Energy with Movement: Get up and move. A five-minute dance break, a short walk, or even just stretching can ignite creativity and clear the mental fog. Physical energy fuels mental momentum. 3. Monologue Your 'Why': Stand in front of the mirror (or just close your eyes) and speak your “why” out loud. Why does this work matter? Why do you care? Hearing your passion in your own voice can reignite that spark and keep you moving forward. These are things I have to do myself as someone that battles deoression daily. The holidays and depression don’t have to steal the spotlight. Keep the momentum alive—your masterpiece awaits!

I've stressed over this community, gone up, gone down, spun around only to come to this conclusion: I have to be me. The me I am is not perfect, not finished learning, not finished helping people and not yet where I desire to be. And with that said, my community is open! It's free It's not finshed yet. It still has room to grow. And it doesn't look like what I desire. And that's ok because the only thing I can do, is continue to learn, provide value, and create.
