CURATED SHORTLIST - Part 1
“Business Besties”

These are who I call my “business besties” - the ones I’ve known and journeyed with the longest as an artist entrepreneur. They are are ahead of me on the road, coaxing this girl along with generous armfuls of wisdom and experience, personally speaking life, crying the creative’s tears, praying the bold prayers, uplifting the weary traveler, and laughing with me until our sides hurt. They CARE about others and took a chance on me when I was muddling through (and still do).
