I’m excited to officially share that I’ll be speaking at the inaugural Permission Granted Experience™ on Saturday, July 11, 2026! As the Visibility & Income Strategist for The Permission Granted Collective, I’ll be sharing practical strategies to help you stop hiding your expertise and start creating opportunities that lead to income. This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about giving yourself permission to become more of who you already are. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to put yourself out there, build your personal brand, speak, teach, coach, or monetize your expertise, this experience was created with you in mind. 🗓 Saturday, July 11, 2026 ⏰ 10:00 AM EST 💻 FREE Virtual Experience Reserve your seat today: IAMPERMITTED.COM I’d love to know, what area of your life or business are you finally giving yourself permission to grow in? Drop it in the comments. Let’s celebrate each other’s next chapter. 💜

Happy #WandaWednesday BPC! There is still time to be a part of the historic "Lit'l Authors Book Making Workshop" and have your name recorded in history at the Obama Presidential Center (OPC). The opening and the subsequent vibes felt like a love and joy tsunami hit the middle of the country, something that was so needed. Hope springs eternal in a renewed meaningful and inspirational way! Literacy is everything, especially in a society that is racing to stop folks from thinking on their own. And with children, this is bordering dangerous. Children need all the reading and writing they can get to develop their brains with confidence and the ability to think critically. Your support for this launch will have ripple effects we may never fully calculate, but knowing you made a difference is priceless!🥰 Three ways you can support: 1. Through one of the 4 Levels on the campaign using this link: flowuptoday.com/event; or 2. Any donation amount that works for you, using this link; or 3. Share this message with someone you know has strong interest in literacy for children in Chicago, or anywhere. We can't wait to share the photos and videos of the event! Thank you in advance for any support you may provide! In community, Wanda Wanda Lee Florestine Author | Founder | "HUEmanitarian" FLOW UP Productions, LLC

Hey Y'all! I am currently doing the 5K in 5 Days Challenge - Day 2. I sold my first Sponsorship package in the amount of $500. Super excited!

@Taurea Avant asked me to come up with some podcast topic titles. What do you think about these? - Parenting education is self-care. - Parenting education is preventive care. - Parenting education is investment. - Parenting education is professional development.

This could be an age thing, and likely a condition of my former occupations, but I think I know err'body (let my kids tell it😘)...I be looking at people, and they always remind me of someone, somewhere, and it's difficult for me to not ask, because I was duly trained (for decades) to ask probing questions. As a former corp sales rep, to recruiting professional, to full HR training, and consulting careers, if I don't know folks, in my head I be thinking I have to be less than 6 degrees of separation from someone we have in common. Am I the only weirdo who does this? Or is this a natural evolutionary trait of the aging process? Inquiring minds want to know...
