QUOTES: 

"Thriving to me is like joy and fulfillment and expansion, but not in the way of just elevation... So expansion, like horizontal — if I stay the same, can I still invite more joy and fulfillment into my life? So, just a good alignment of healthy relationships, money, and overall fulfillment." — Maya Elious 


"We say people are our most valuable asset, but then we don't give them the space and the platform, and even the resources and the tools to be able to amplify the amazing work that they're doing, which only makes the business look better. I think it's a huge miss." — Brittany N. Cole
