                            hroughout my life I have always been
                            about community. About having a sense
                      Tof belonging. To be honest I got myself
                      into some trouble in my sophomore year in high
                      school basically because I wanted to be a part                                                                                             Our first connection was in October 2014. The room                Community

                      of another high school’s community. So, during                                                                                             growth. The best part, they played full out from day

                      direction of my life. I digress.                                                                                                           month’s teaching can stand on it’s own.

                      When I unofficially started my company in July                                                                                             This past July, we tried something new. A summer
                      2013 I thought I had an idea of what I wanted to                                                                                           social. We partnered with a local networking group

                      development courses. I created a couple  of                                                                                                a HUGE hit.
                      options, I filled several classes. As the first year of                                                                                    Our community has seen it’s share of success, failure,             &
                      my business steadily plugged along, something                                                                                              laughter and tears. The reason we are still going strong,
                      was missing. I was feeling “disconnected” even                                                                                             our community is vulnerable, honest and we’ve got

                      I had an epiphany. I realized what was missing
                      was community and consistency. I came up with
                      the idea to launch Freedom Finders Connect,
                      a group that would meet monthly for personal
                      and professional development. I would commit                                                                                           a yes filled life nina has a uniqie flair to connect,
