Haaaaappy Sunday friends, fam, and new faces!
Welcome to the first edition of Rise and Grind, a magazine that was conjured up by the king of the castle, 
Naturally I said, heck yeah! And here we are. 😁
Rise and Grind
will be appearing on the Women to Follow Summit, hosted by Pulitzer-nominated journalist Rose Horowitz! On February 28th, beginning at 10am ET, Dreem will be doing what she does best, shining and empowering others. The summit will take place on Twitter; you can register here!In her post about the appearance, she talks about overcoming impostor syndrome, a feeling I think TONS of us grapple with. She has this way of making my head nod itself, her words are always on point! It's a daunting feeling just in itself, which makes it hard to address. Here's the truth, all kinds of dynamic people feel like that. And they are wrong. 😉 Believe in yourself, and while you're at it, go tell Dreem how much you believe in her. 💞
