It has been over several years since I last popped into your feeds. A lot has changed since my days focusing solely on "The Marketing Lady," and I wanted to share an update and a resource. I took a step back to return to the workforce to support local entrepreneurs. I was actively serving on national boards with entrepreneurship organizations and deepened my expertise in entrepreneurship-led economic development.
Here is a snapshot of what I have been up to:
Local Impact: I spearheaded the expansion of the largest nonprofit entrepreneur center in Dallas, supporting thousands of under-resourced founders.
National Impact: From advocating on Capitol Hill to shape federal policies that level the playing field for women entrepreneurs, to influencing national narratives for ecosystem builders across to the country.
New Credentials: I earned a certification as an Entrepreneurship Development Professional with the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) to elevate the entrepreneurial ecosystem through economic development.
New Venture: I launched Economic Growth Strategies to help organizations build stronger business ecosystems and execute impactful entrepreneurship-led development strategies. Visit the website www.egstrategies.com.
While The Marketing Lady brand won't go away entirely, in 2026, I will shift that brand to provide marketing resources and tools.
