Join us for our May meetup with speaker Amanda Heidt!☕️ 8am – Coffee Served
🎤 8:15am – Program Begins
Our theme for May is CREATE. It was chosen in collaboration with our global partner Adobe and illustrated by Ana Grigorovici.
We understand the challenges of creating something you love. From fitting it into your busy life to fighting off imposter syndrome; the struggle is real. And one of the biggest hurdles is a lack of accountability. So, let’s come together and support one another!
