I had a dream. Not a metaphor. A literal dream. I woke up, shook Chris awake, and said “I know exactly what the Black Women Sell Live commercial is going to be.” I saw myself falling asleep… then waking up inside the dream, sitting across from women I’ve studied. The ones history tried to erase. Black women who built empires centuries ago. And they weren’t just figures in a book. They were giving me strategy, encouragement, telling me the mission I’m on for Black Women Sell Live RIGHT NOW matters. That dream became something I never expected. What I didn’t know is I’d find a Black woman-owned production company to bring it to life. What I didn’t know is I’d write my first long-form script — not a commercial, but a miniseries honoring Black women who built wealth before any of us were born. What I didn’t know is the women cast would be transformed by researching their roles — that stepping into these stories would change how they saw themselves. What I didn’t know is when people watched it… it would give them chills. This is just the trailer.

Instincts are powerful…trust them… loved the instincts session at Black Women Sell Live®️ P.S. I’m the host of an event called Black Women Sell Live the only event that centers the needs of Black women CEOs and uses history to teach them timeless sales strategies. We sold out at 1,000 founders but comment SELL and get on the waitlist so if someone can’t attend this year you can snag a seat. We’re making room for you next year though 🤏🏽🤏🏽…

Last week, I posted asking for tips before my first BWSL event. Now that I've experienced the magic, I thought I'd jot down a few tips for next year while they're still fresh. DO WHAT THE EMAILS TELL YOU There were approximately 28387 emails before the event letting us know what time to register, and entry time based on ticket. The first day I showed up at 6:30am to get an early place in line even though doors didn't open until 8:40am for us. I used that time to get to know other attendees and network. You can leave a bag or placeholder and the community was great about respecting it. Someone even moved my bag for me when the line moved from inside to outside while I was off getting coffee. LUNCH Don't dally. I'm sure the set up will be different next year but most folks went to the CTR food court across the street and lollygagging meant long lines and a long wait. I didn't wait more than 3 people to order food, meaning I could eat, socialize and have plenty of time to get back to the ballroom on time. SELF CARE I haven't traveled at all this year until September and I forgot some basic best practices. Take care of your immune system, whatever that looks like for you. I came down with a cold on day two and was fairly miserable the rest of the conference. Folks were so supportive from the older Black women working the hotel coffee shop who gave me tea on the house, to the attendee who donated me a couple of Emergen-C packets. Between that and Day and Nyquil, I was able to participate in the full conference. MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN. Get on the mic! There are so many opportunities for Q&A, and sharing what you learned. I live in Portland, OR and I want to work with more Black women, so I picked seats as close to the mic as possible and didn't pass up any chance to get up and let the room know what I do. That resulted in around 30 people coming up to me and asking for my information and one sales conversation.

Let's chat… and I miss seeing y'all, so let's hang again at the virtual BWSL… P.S. If you missed Black Women Sell Live®️, you have to attend virtually so you can watch the best parts ⤵️ 🔗 Get your replay access NOW → https://www.blackwomensellevent.com/rewind
