I had the opportunity to sit with my brother (from another mother) during the summer to talk about the creative life, our love for community, daily inspiration, and a little bit of Bmore vs the ATL. We both love our home cities and have fun talking about how our cities have influenced who we are today.

For my first guest, I had the pleasure to have the ultimate happy conversation with my mentor, Ann Cramer, also known as Ms. Sunshine! Having one sunshine in the building is one thing but two Sunshine people in one room is a lot of energy to contain but we were to pull it off! Ann has been inspiring and guiding leaders and her peers here in Atlanta and the state of Georgia for decades with the best smile and grace.

Ann and I are sitting down to talk about the importance of sharing your sunshine with others. We dig into why sunshine people need to know one another, the ups and downs of wearing the crown, and the importance of finding a mentor that matches your energy.
