Hi Reader,
Start Before You're Ready
Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught to earn our voice. To have the right words, the right timing, the right market before we speak. But this week, two creators—one therapist, one poet—offered a powerful alternative: start before you're ready. Be seen while you're still becoming.
Sam the Therapist reminds us: don’t wait on certainty. Action makes clarity. Stop editing offers no one has seen. Stop building behind the scenes hoping “the right time” will tap you on the shoulder.
And from @goodthings4blackgirls comes this balm: “You are not too much. You are not too late. There is room for your rhythm.”
That’s the kind of leadership we believe in. It’s not about polish. It’s about practice. It’s about getting it into the wild—messy, bold, real.
If you're holding back, this is your invitation: let them see you now.

👂 Overheard in the SLAI Society
On moving from inspiration to infrastructure:
"You can’t do it without everybody being involved. We need to build that scaffolding—and if we don’t know each other, we can’t build it."
