My name is Shana Francesca.
Growing up, I watched the people around me and saw so much pressure to pretend.  Most people were scripting their lives from the dictations of their parents and society…here is how you become a female or male adult…do these things, don’t do these things…this is the life you ‘should’ be leading…what your life should look like…this is the life you want; this binary is the only acceptable way.

​In truth no one’s life around me actually looked like a life I wanted.  I saw women trying to make themselves smaller shoving themselves into control top panty hose, push up bra’s, tight clothes, not eating…judging each other’s eating, horrified by their own hunger…you’re not supposed to be hungry and you cannot take up space, you’re a woman…no you’re an object.

What are the business challenges we go through?
We were on Live session every Monday 9am EST on LinkedIn Audio

Today we had a business challenge live on LinkedIn and on clubhouse. What we have learned today from plenty of people today is that we lose focus on budgeting and planning. We also lose focus on skill sets and how to grown from learning.
We also focus on attitude and what the attitude does to us and mood does to us when there's no business.
We talked about where are my customers and where to find them. Who is your demographic audience?
Do we need to create an email list for the customers or the clients? How do we market ourselves? Do we need social media to market yourself?
Why do we need to do what we need to do in today's world?
Because change is actually is needed when this world and then always  changing.
