Building a startup isn’t a 9–5 it’s a 24/7 shift you never officially clocked into 😂

Between DMs, app development, networking and late-night graft, I’ve been a little MIA for all the right reasons.

Last week I headed to J.P. Morgan for the Founders Forward Accelerator, and it was the reset I didn’t know I needed. Stepping out of my comfort zone isn’t easy, but being selected for this cohort reminded me why I said yes.

Being in a room full of women building powerful companies each facing different versions of the same barriers proved just how important these spaces are. When you're raising kids, raising capital and raising a brand from scratch, simply showing up is a win.

Huge gratitude to the teams at JPMorganChase and Newable. Moments like this validate what we’re building at DKC and remind me that growth happens when you show up 🙌🏽.

Now it’s pitch prep mode excited (and slightly nervous) to bring DKC to that stage in a few weeks.
