Just bring your authentic self and a willingness to listen\, share\, and be present with others who understand the unique challenges and rewards of building something meaningful. \nCommunity. Connection. Show up\, share out\, and shine on! \n\n\n\nThis session will be facilitated by IHH Team + Community Member Tracie Jae\, The Quiet Rebel.
