I’m spilling a big blogging secret over here today; we’re talking all about Tailwind Tribes, how to use them, and some tips for maximizing your time on Pinterest!  Pinterest is my number one source of blog traffic so I wanted to share some of the ways I leverage it.  It’s worth noting that I find this a great platform to dig into; traffic from Pinterest tends to be steady and reliable on most days and crazy, insane on a good day!

Please Do Better: An Open Letter About Inclusion

Today’s post is a little different; I’m talking about inclusion, because I think it’s something many people don’t even consider.  I came out of the womb with the same racial classification of less than 3% of the United States.  I’ve spent my entire life feeling underrepresented: in the books I’d like to read, in movies, commercials, advertisements, and TV shows — the list goes on.  While inclusion and diversity are something that are talked about so much more these days; there’s honestly a long way to go.  I wanted to share a little bit about what it’s like being an underrepresented person with the hope that it helps someone out there to be more aware and inclusive.
