“Black Girl in Om has always centered on Black women and women of color, and we are intentionally leaning more into intergenerational conversations as well.”

“It was just this runaway train that took on its own life. And it was the catalyst for me launching a full-scale business, just based on that response that I got.”

"We started with the Business Plan on Mighty Networks. But found there was a disconnect as we didn't have our own branded apps, so people had to work harder to find us."

“They basically said, ‘You create the course and we’ll sell it,’ but they never sold it. It was rough because it was a lot of work. But afterward, I thought, ‘I need to do this on my own."

"The content is the fire pit, and if you post it, people will join around the fire and have a conversation. I think that's really key to success."

“My clients weren’t having good results because they were bombarded by ads, censorship, and the drama.”

“It wasn’t just about me sharing my own story. It was about activating this live network of people from different places and saying, ‘I only know so much, and I’ve only lived in so many places. But if we can combine our powers, we can actually help each other out …

“Members have told me, ‘I'm getting rid of my social media and spending more time here. The quality of engagement, the supportive mood — it’s far and away a better place to spend my time.’”

“I was so relieved when we opened the doors and people immediately responded. It was a resounding yes—this was the right decision and the right platform to go with.”

“I went, ‘Wait, this is really important.’ It became my passion project. I spent hours and hours every week for months and years cultivating and growing this community. Then, at a certain point I realized, ‘Oh wait, I can't sustain this without an income.”

“My work is for women because I’m a woman. Their experiences and my experiences are one and the same, and we’re all working towards coming to love, accept, trust, and appreciate our bodies. I am so passionate about that.”

“And eventually, the three of us came together with the idea of creating a three-day weekend that allows people to build a life that feels value-driven and also incorporates a lot of time outside.”

“Mighty Networks is phenomenal in the way it can bring members together compared to any other platform I've seen.”

“Instagram is great for showcasing your super polished final pieces. But it’s not necessarily a great place for connecting around the work. And we wanted to give our people a central location where they could hang out, share their progress, and get feedback.”

“We have more quality engagement with 325 paid members than 560,000 followers on Facebook.”
