Years ago, when my son was 16, said something that resonated deeply: “I want to leave a legacy and build an empire.” The following year, he started college, and I decided to enroll again too! It was a proud moment, especially because I had started college at 17 myself. His words were profound, and reignited my journey. Our legacy in motion began.
Resilience
To add, my are daughters, strong, resilient, and inspiring in every way. They are wonderful mothers. Also, my son and nephew are incredible fathers. Their children are thriving, they are all on their path to greatness.
Additionally, my twin and her fiancé are amazing grandparents, watching them as a unit reminds me of our grandparents… it’s refreshing. Together, my family is building legacies of love and strength everyday. I’m blessed to witness this.
Entrepreneurship
That same spirit of legacy fuels my journey. From creative storytelling, to digital tools and community care, each brand reflects a piece of my journey.
My sons offer a range of premium creative and technical services, including computer building, graphic design, NFTs, IT support, 3D printing, custom patches, tailoring, vinyl creations, bespoke sneakers, and licensed drone piloting.
Moreover, my eldest son, founder of Ami Angles, designed the IND Designs logo using a hand-drawn, vectored technique unique to his brand. Another son used that same technique to create a custom illustration featuring me, inspired by one of my favorite shows. The image includes the IND Designs logo.
Also, my nephew, like a son to me, operates multiple ventures, including business startup services. If you’d prefer to invest in support rather than the DIY model I provide, he may be a great fit at Prevail Groups.
My niece provides vital mental health services, while my twin designs floor plans and holds a degree in interior design. I also have several real estate agents in my family across Virginia, Georgia, and Texas, along with a cousin operating a home renovation business.
Connections
I’m proud of my family, and I mention them here because networking is fundamental in business. In my opinion, Sales 101 is reaching out to family and friends first, and Networking 101 is showcasing them. That’s why I’ve highlighted my loved ones in this post. You can learn more about my approach to authentic connection in this networking reflection.
