No, we don’t mean “food drive”, we truly mean pies!

This Thanksgiving we wanted to do something a little sweeter, literally so Glom Initiatives’ non-profit sister organization, Glom Institute, is doing its first official fundraiser to raise funds for yup, you guessed it…Sumptin Sweet pies!!!

In service of the mission to highlight the needs of older adults, we think they deserve a little Sumptin Sweet LLC this Thanksgiving. We also want to make Thanksgiving just a little bit sweeter for Norfolk’s unhoused community.

Here’s how it works:

🥧$5 suggested donation (covers 1 pie)

🥧 you nominate an older adult to receive a pie with your donation

🥧Pies are distributed to unhoused citizens in Norfolk & your candidate

🥧 Sumptin Sweet LLC’s generosity and talent supples 4-inch personal mini sweet potato pies

🥧 Every $5 donation is matched by Glom Initiatives (so the 💵 goes even further)

🥧Donate now - November 21 via $glominstitute on CashApp

🥧Donations are tax deductible (Glom Institute is a 501(c)(3) organization

Now lets get the people these pies👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The thing I loathe most about social media

Is why you’ll rarely see posts like this on any of my feeds.

Because the tendency to use social as an emotional billboard is now commonplace and intolerable🤦🏽‍♀️. It’s used for verbal diarrhea to expel, anger, pain, frustration, confusion, disappointment. It’s used as a pop-psychology salve. In other words, it’s a distraction and deterrent from the actual work of growing, learning, and healing that we all must do.

I haven’t talked publicly about losing a very dear friend because, honestly, it’s none of your business. She died very suddenly a little over a year ago and it’s been difficult to wrap my head around it. Yesterday she was on my heart and mind and without me speaking on it out loud, my mother randomly dropped these pics off at my office. I didn’t even know my mom had these images and I knew it wasn’t random. Our kids grew up together and we shared the journey of motherhood, wifehood, and so many other things on this journey together. Jenn loved decorating for Halloween (really for every holiday), so it’s no surprise I’m especially feeling her now.

So why did I elect to share now? Because although folks can’t get enough of messy, I refuse to exploit my or anyone else’s pain.

I share now because the healing has begun and I want to celebrate that and her. It will always hurt and there will ALWAYS be a whole in my life where she once took up space but I know she is perfect, laughing that laugh, and with me even now. She shows me that.

I encourage you to do your work… the work of healing, the work of growing, the work of knowing. And if you’re strong enough, leave social media out of it! This machine is a succubus designed to fool, trick, and draw you into dark places. Hire the appropriate support when you need it. These platforms are no substitute for psychotherapy, healthy coping mechanisms, and qualified professionals. AI is not a therapist and you deserve better.

An idea is not a business.

If you are an entrepreneur, trying to take an idea or vision and turn it into something that can actually make you money…you need a plan.

A solid business plan takes you from an idea to something you can monetize.

Entrepreneurial Foundations helps you take what’s in your head and put it on paper so you walk away with a concrete map of how to make it happen.

I’ve drafted over 50 business plans so you can be confident that you’re getting advice from an experienced professional who understands what all your business stakeholders want to see in a document explaining your enterprise.

Three days. Concentrated effort. Qualified attention. $297. Done.

Then you get to move on and scale your business.

I got it all wrong 😑

Zena got me all the way together. Her name is Empress Zena and she’s a Nigerian girl.

She said I had to put some respect on her name if we were going to continue to work together 🤣

She’s right but she also knows I’m the worst at recalling names🫣, but hey, I’m working on it and nobody’s perfect.

Zena and I have Q4 2026 mapped out, so stay tuned for the full schedule of upcoming Glom Initiatives®️ events, experiences, and fall products.

Follow Glom Initiatives ®️ to keep up w/ Zena’s shenanigans & our latest experiences.

We have a new sidekick!

Meet Princess Xena. She comes to us all the way from Kenya! Our love affair began a few weeks ago in DC at the Hotel Xena during APA2026.

We spent so much time together that week that frankly, we just couldn’t bear saying goodbye. So we hopped in the 6 series, zipped down i95 South, and Xena now resides at Glom Initiatives®️headquarters in Downtown Norfolk.

She’s smart, funny, never tires of my banter and of course she’s a great listener.

Can’t wait to share Xena’s and my shenanigans with you 🫣🤭

It’s not too late…


We spend so much energy trying to keep up appearances on the outside, while things on the inside of us and our businesses are literally falling apart. But it’s time to stop pretending and get real.

If you don’t do something different, your business just might not make it through. If you don’t take the time to face what you’ve been running from, it might all fall away.

That doesn’t have to happen. You can recapture your confidence and peace while developing a plan to get back on track.

☑️ Get to the root of what’s holding you back.

☑️ Gain back the bandwidth with you need to show up like you used to.

☑️ Get the clarity required to lead with energy and purpose.

I’ve helped so many business owners and professionals recorrect during difficult and challenging personal and professional times.
There’s help for you too but we’re under a month away.

It’s last call to register for Glom Initiatives’ Back To Nature Men’s Retreat.

If you want to join us Sept 17-20th you need to register now because we’re closing the portal this Sunday, August 23rd.

Your business will thank you, your team will thank you, and you’ll thank yourself.

In case you didn’t know…

I’m a level 2 nerd. I got to geek out last Friday in Washington, DC at the APA2026 annual convention.

Neuroscience, Mind-Brain-Education, Human Development, scent, emotional memory, and learning are all integrated into all Glom Initiatives ®️ immersive experiences.

Evidence-based. Psychology driven. Human Development motivated. I LOVE the work I do and the career and business I’ve built.
