Some 📸 from todays @aaf_creativezen with @cathleendeanbcm hosted @victorybbtymca inside the brand new @laleeymca where she is the Executive Director of The Arts. It was refreshing to hear Cathleens thought provoking & inspiring story this morning before taking a tour of the beautiful new #LALeeYMCA & learning more about the new @aafsfl film committee that @mikeyhuet of @limedigitalagency shared with us. (Swipe to #4 in this post) This event continues to mean a lot to me after initially receiving my "ah-ha" moment in January 2016 which was the spark that lead me down this path of art, culture, & Community building. This is why I continue to pay it back & pay it forward by hosting and keeping these events free for our community - because you never know who could be sitting in the audience yearning for some inspiration if they know it or not.✌️ We hope you can join us for our monthly breakfast lecture series & mini ted talk every 2nd Friday morning of the month! We've got some great speakers lined up for you in 2023 including @cityoffortlauderdale @mayordeanftl, @radicalpartners @jm.godoyliere, @emmytansey aka @the_mindful_ot, @dr.tyrich & more! (Including my 1st time sharing my story at our 5 year anniversary event in May)💡 "When you put your mind to it, you manifest your life. It starts with your thoughts." ~ Cathleen Dean.
