She’s A Boss

This Spring, I had the joy of participating in the She’s A Boss Career Fair at Bloom Upstate — and let me tell you, it was more than just a career fair. It was a reminder of why I do this work.

As an artist and entrepreneur, my mission has always been about more than business. It’s about visibility. It’s about expression. And most of all, it’s about showing the next generation — especially young girls — that they can build something beautiful out of their dreams.

Throughout the day, I met girls with bright eyes and bold questions, ready to explore what’s possible. I brought my art, some business materials, and an open heart — but what stood out most was the shared canvas we created together. Each girl who visited my table left a mark, quite literally — contributing brushstrokes to a collaborative piece that captured their voices, their colors, and their creativity. It’s a memory I’ll carry with me.

In between the paint and conversations, I even connected with a couple of wonderful art collectors who resonated with my work and vision. Moments like that remind me that showing up as yourself has real power.

This event wasn’t just about career paths — it was about reminding these girls (and us) that we’re allowed to take up space, change our minds, follow what lights us up, and own our stories. Being a boss isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about believing in your own voice — and using it to uplift others.

Here’s to every young girl who showed up with curiosity and courage. Keep creating, keep dreaming, and know this: you already have what it takes.
