We're hopping on Dare to Develop today to talk about a subject that is truly important. We first and foremost believe black lives matter. And we really want to show our support for black creatives in our creative community and our wedding industry. We are committed to learning unlearning behaviors, listening and doing better. We want to create an inclusive environment in the podcasts sphere and within our own realms of influence and businesses. We are so honored to have a candid conversation today with Sacia  of Sacia Matthew's photography. She is a black photographer based in Charleston who has amazing work and has been so willing and open these past few weeks on helping our wedding industry community learn. So much about injustice, inequality and the lack of inclusion in the wedding industry. We hope this is just the beginning of a much needed conversation about diversity and inclusion in our industry. So there's a lot to learn. So let's dive in.

 Sacia's website Sacia's Instagram: 

Sacia's announcement for you: I'm offering online and in person coaching sessions. I have shoots where you can join us on a shoot and we'll shoot together. And then I'll walk you through my own editing process. I'm just trying to help you build your business with good bones. And so due to that, I am going to offer a complimentary 30 minute introductory session, where we dive into what your pain points are. I'm going to tell you how I think that I can help you kind of what the process looks like. And maybe try to give you a tip or two while we have the time. And from there you decide to jump into a coaching session.
