A fun community project I was able to produce, film, edit and finally share with everyone! ☺️💭📸

The first time I met Councilperson Bridget McCandless was when she spoke to my leadership class last fall. In less than an hour, she taught me new things about our city, identified problems and offered real-time, accessible solutions. I took her business card, shook her hand, and told her she was my new role model, someone I knew I could look up to.

The next time I met Bridget, she told me about an immersive poverty experience she attended where she had to learn what it took financially and through resources to get out of prison and start her life over-- and how within 3 months she couldn't make her rent 🤣-- and that's when I really started learning about WHO Bridget is as a person and leader in our community.

Bridget is:

Brilliant 🧠

Experienced ✔️

KIND 💞

Grounded 🙏

One of the girls 💅

And EXACTLY the person you want as the mayor of this city we love so deeply 💓

I've now met Bridget many times and there's something about when you just naturally connect with someone, for no apparent reason but just through soul, and Bridget is one of those people for me 🩵

🌟 Please help us support Bridget's campaign for mayor 🌟 We will be collecting signatures to get her officially on the ballot, and you can visit her website to learn more about ways to get involved 🤗

Oh, this is about to get interesting 👀😉🤩

To have an organization that you love, that you believe in, that changes the lives of small business owners, that makes a huge impact on our community, the economy, and has influenced Ennovation at a local and national level....and then they become one of your clients...

That's pretty cool 😎

Me: What would you do if you were driving down the street and saw me in a firetruck?

My friend Jamal: I would hope it was a parade.

Please help me welcome one of the newest members to the Independence Chamber of Commerce, Jayme Generaux, owner of Flip N' Glitter! 🎉 Jayme is the first person I've had the pleasure of bringing into the Chamber, and I can't wait for you all to meet her! 🤗

You may recognize Jayme as one of KC's great real estate agents, but she's ready to show you her other passion project: Making custom designs on shirts, canvas', wax melts, cups and more! As a woman in small business, she is well-versed in giving customer appreciation and recruitment gifts, which is why I thought she'd be perfect for the Chamber, helping our members show their clients love especially as we approach the holiday season! 🎁

I recommend her custom canvas goodie bags where you can choose any design or create your own and include your business logo for all to see (check out my daughter's trick-or-treating bag in the photos) 🤩
