It’s hard to believe my rebranding and 5-year celebration was almost five years ago! I started my company from a place of frustration—pouring my heart into others only to be treated as they chose, with ceilings that held me back. Feeling uncertain, I threw everything into the unknown, and today I can only say, thank God I did! It was one of the best decisions of my life, and I couldn’t have done it without the support of my mom and Mr. Norwood. Through difficult days and long nights, let’s call it God’s plan; this calling was placed in my life for a reason, even if the 'why' is a mystery. Looking back over the past nine-plus years, am I surprised at how far I’ve come? Hell no. I’m a hustler; if I want it, I’ll have it.
Now, turning 45, with MNE approaching its 10th anniversary and a relationship of nearly 22 years, all I wish is that my mom could be here to witness it all. But God’s plan had other ideas, and really, knowing the plan wouldn’t have changed this journey. As I look around at all I’ve accomplished, I wonder… should we celebrate year 10? It will definitely be different than year 5, but 10 years is a huge deal, right? Should MNE turn 10 in style? A big blowout party on a Monday night after a 3-day wedding weekend??? What do y'all think?
Fun fact: my birthday and MNE’s anniversary fall on the same day every year. Synergy at its finest. I am exactly where I am meant to be. ✨
