“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.”

— Ernest Hemingway

Appreciate these predictions and agree. I also think we’re going to see a mass understanding of what nonprofits actually do when in 2026 so many of them are going to be in jeopardy. Communities are going to understand the value and hopefully step up. It’s time to be optimistic and also urgent. ‼️ ❤️

Words to live by….

When women have stability and support, they find their footing again. And when women steady their lives, families strengthen and communities grow steadier too. That’s the work that truly moves us forward. @arouetempowers.bsky.social

@bsky.app please please please give people to write longer on this app. Why I do like Twitter as I can write long form and I get a lot of engagement on here. You cannot write anything before you run into the character count. Please fix this. My engagement is 100 times higher on X because of this.

I think we might have a new friend. And yes, it was love ❤️ at first site.

#grateful to our partners at @JPMorganChase! From day 1, they have stood by our side, investing time, talent, and heart into supporting Arouet’s mission.
This week’s “Mock Interview Day” is just one example of their commitment to empowering lives and creating second chances.👏❤️

🚨 80% of HR execs say they’d hire someone with a record.
But only 12% actually do.

That gap is costing you loyalty, performance, and purpose.

Fix the disconnect.
