“… the knowledge that I bring doesn’t change with how I show up.”

The Power of Self Affirmation

One of the best things about social media is how affirming it can be. I mean, anyone and everyone has the ability to tell their own story. What I love most about various platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram is how vividly folks are able to show up as they desire.

Showing up is exactly what our cover feature, Cody Renard Richard is all about. The Tony Award winning Stage Manager, Producer, Educator, Advocate, and Philanthropist insist on bringing all of Cody to the table – platforms, painted nails, and sequined tops along with a killer work ethic.

Perhaps we could all take a tip from Cody about the value of bringing all of you to whatever you want to do. We are all unique beings with talents, assets and faults that only belong to us collectively. Go forward beloved and walk with pride in all of your glory – critics be damn.

Together we can make a difference,
