✨FOUNDER FRIDAY✨ I was scrolling yesterday when I saw myself in the *Atlanta Journal-Constitution*—and everything paused.

“Oh… that’s me.” And I felt proud. But what if I told you pride hasn’t always come easy? This year, rejection became so familiar that I started questioning if this path was really for me. Truthfully, I even looked for a job because I wasn’t sure I could keep carrying the weight of this vision. Nobody talks enough about the internal battles of entrepreneurship—the pressure to appear strong while quietly struggling. I’ve been tired. Deeply tired. But I’ve also been learning how to rest. *Rest Is Resistance* by @thenapministry gave me permission to slow down, choose joy, and see rest as necessary—not earned. Rest is not quitting. Rest is restoration. Rest is strategy. After nearly 15 years of building 3D Girls, Inc., I’m dreaming again. Not from survival. Not from scarcity. But from vision. This season keeps teaching me: ✨ You can be tired and still called. ✨ You can feel uncertain and still be chosen. ✨ You can rest and still rise. As we close summer camp today, I choose to be proud. Proud of myself. Proud of the people who help this dream live. Proud of the community that believes in this work. We’re still becoming. And that is worth celebrating. 🤍 #FounderFriday #LeadershipJourney #3DGirlsInc #RestIsResistance #WomenWhoLead
