One of the things I am most proud of along this journey has very little to do with sales numbers.
It has to do with collaboration, community, and shared knowledge.
Somewhere along the way, PinMe 1913 became a space where conversations beyond products could happen. One of the most meaningful moments was collaborating with my dear soror, Ms. Rita Johnson Mills of Tennessee, to create a workshop focused on preparing women for paid corporate board positions.
She brought incredible knowledge, insight, and lived experience to the conversation, and together we created a space where women could learn, ask questions, and begin thinking differently about leadership, positioning, and possibility.
That mattered to me deeply.
Because beyond the designs, I have always wanted PinMe 1913 to contribute to expansion in some way. Not just through products, but through access, information, encouragement, and opportunity too.
That's why Acts of Love, 22 Acts of Kindness, annual fundraising support, and opportunities to share knowledge will always be a part of the PinMe ecosystem.
There is something powerful about women sharing what they know with one another.
And honestly, that kind of impact will always mean more to me than numbers alone.
