🎉 As we conclude our five-week summer journey with The Content Queens, we reflect on an incredible experience made possible through collaboration, creativity, and community spirit. In partnership with The Lemonade Circle, we embarked on this venture for the second summer in a row, empowering four remarkable local, woman-owned businesses—Hello Darling Blow Dry Bar, Candle Talk Shop, Naturally Namaste, and Kalon by Josselin—with top-notch content. Our queens, Breann Davis, Truth Pierce, and Rileigh Proctor, dedicated their time and talent, exploring various photography styles including Branding/Lifestyle Photography, Headshots, Product Photography, and Fashion Photography. They honed essential skills in product placement, creative direction, networking, and angle tests which ensure each subject's best side was captured with ease. Additionally, they mastered the functionalities of professional cameras, mounted backdrops, and studio lighting. 🌟✨ A huge thank you to Ryn Pitts, our stellar program coordinator and lead. Your dedication and guidance have been the backbone of this program, ensuring every detail was meticulously planned and executed. Your leadership has been inspiring, and we are incredibly grateful for your hard work and passion. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to Katie Williams for her expertise in video content creation.

“Justice and equality fueled Charlotte Blackwood’s sermon to the congregation at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Antonio. She stood before the assembly — the pastor had asked her to share a memorable story about an injustice she’d faced. Her message: Nothing changes if we’re silent. As a Black, queer woman, Charlotte said she’s in a prime spot for “othering” by people, as if she’s inferior.” Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/geT6EJKh This is how we INSPIRE!
