A common misconception when my clients embark on their social media journey is that you should constantly be selling. A well-done digital strategy builds community, adds value, establishes expertise, and demonstrates how your product or service solves a problem or otherwise enriches your audience's life. Audiences want to know your story, not just be spammed with sales pitches.

Had so much fun at last week's branding workshop led by Jenna Shriver It’s always so gratifying to be around a group of creative entrepreneurs!

Plus, I got to meet two of my Carroll Community College students in person for the first time *and* get some quality baby snuggles from little Emmett! Thanks for hosting Rudolph Girls Books

Today is Juneteenth. If you're anything like me, you didn't hear about Juneteenth until you were embarrassingly old. While it's now been a federal holiday for 5 years, many of us are still learning about its roots and meaning to the Black community.

Whether you're off or not, I encourage everyone to learn more about today from those who hold it dear.

In 2023 and 2024, I posted this same opening graphic as a way of encouraging authenticity in "rainbow capitalism." But now, what I was truly afraid of is coming true: companies are retreating from the LGBTQIA+ community when frankly, we need them the most.

This isn't just symbolic: US Association of Prides has estimated some smaller pride celebrations have seen a 70-90% reduction in donations. Reduced visibility is bad in its own right, but for younger or vulnerable q***r and gender noncomforming kids, it can be downright deadly. In 2024, The Trevor Projectfound su***de attempts increased between 7-72% for transgender and non-binary young people living in states that enacted anti-trans legislation. They need you; we need you; I need you.

So, let this be your reminder today: Having a business IS political. Being a person IS political. If you posted about Pride last year and not this year, ask yourself why your support is contingent on who is in the White House. And if you've never posted for, sponsored, or participated in Pride, this is your sign to start.

And if you need some tips on how to do that, well, I happen to have a blog for that. https://lnk.bio/s/ktworldcomm/rainbow

Peeps Update!

Would you look at that? Both "my" entries won something at the PEEPshow! Humane Society of Carroll County, Inc. won "Online Sensations" and St. Paul's United Church of Christ won Sponsors' Choice!

Not bad for someone who decided to organize all this 10 days ahead of time. But most importantly, we had fun and we raised money for Carroll Arts Center.

Thanks to everyone who voted!

Back on my Peep Nonsense this year...

About 10 days before Carroll Arts Center entries were due, I decided to enter not one but two of my favorite organizations: Humane Society of Carroll County, Inc. and St. Paul's United Church of Christ. Instead of spending 3 weeks up to my neck in marshmallow, I spent two hours with some young volunteers at HSCC and one hour with the Sunday School kids at SPUCC to whip up these masterpieces.

I attended the "VIPeep Party" on Friday and I think I say this every year, but this is the most impressive (impeepsive?) year yet!

Finding unique ways to get my clients out into their offline communities is a personal passion of mine. Just another way to tell your story!

Once a Teacher, Always a Teacher!

📚 Mid-class on Wednesday, I found myself crafting a classic "anchor chart." Once it was for writing paragraphs in middle school, now it's about creating the perfect post for your brand!''

✨ Hook: You have about 3 seconds to grab your audience's attention—make it count! 🎯

💡 Body: Explain the share. Why is this piece of content on your feed? 🤔

🚀 Call to Action: What do you want your audience to do next? 🔗

The best thing about an anchor chart? It's an anchor. 📌 Save this post to reference later!
