As the poster child of Anti-AI; I’ll be sharing all my insights at my session at the @widnational Women In Defense National Conference this Monday (tomorrow). It may or may not include screenshots of me calling Claude names.

I will give you:
- Resources
- Guides
- Policies to start with (not a lawyer people - this is my disclaimer)

I also promise you the presentation will not be drafted by, influenced by or done by AI.

Cool. See you then. #widnc26

I have known Rebecca Dutcher for longer than I care to admit and when she applied for the last Women’s Entrepreneurial Fellowship...I was PUMPED.
.
Look at her words. Read them.

This is the last year, the Fellowship will be covered by grant funding. The application deadline is September 15th.

If you don’t meet all the qualifications, apply for the Women’s Owners Network.

Both programs are for women-owned businesses and both were built by business owners for business owners and it’s everything I wish had been provided to me. It would’ve saved me a lot of time and money.

You can apply for WEF here: www.sbamwef.org/apply

Our commitment to uncomfortable is why we started the Uncomfortable Community Conversations quarterly events to highlight issues affecting our businesses and community.

We’ve tackled the skills crisis, systemic bias towards WOSBs in our financial systems, and in September, we’re gonna talk perimenopause and the impact it has on business owners.

Our next convo on September 24, will focus on Perimenopause and how it’s impacting women business owners and professionals as we navigate brain fog, exhaustion, lose executive function and still the our responsibility, load and the expectations put on us remain the same. Something has to change.

Link in bio to register.
