As you know by now, I am extremely passionate about anything surrounding the word ethical. ⁣ ⁣ I am so immersed with this word that I designate a day to talk to you about it on the blog. (link in profile)⁣ ⁣ Today is all about managing supplier relationships ♥️⁣ ⁣ Building an ethical brand and teaching others about social consumerism is a lot of work and there will be plenty of moments that you have to step out of your comfort zone. In the end, you just need to know your boundaries to avoid burnout and create a path for yourself that will allow for you to be successful. You will only succeed in being a part of the ethical movement and educating others if your brand is successful, so do not let a supplier relationship take you away from a larger movement at hand. Overall, this road is not easy, but you can reduce the complexity and risk by finding out what works for you.⁣ ⁣ My phrase of 2020 is ‘you do you’, so you do just that. Find your groove. ✨⁣ It is funny to me how I blog about time management and being a mother and then my little girl gets really sick the same day throwing off my entire week schedule. I smiled, laughed a little and re-read my blog - soaking in every word and trying to take my own advice. ⁣ ⁣ Cheers to motherhood where perfection does not exist, sleep is still always important and the to do list remains even when the curve balls come fast. ⁣ ⁣ We will make it through this week. We got this 💪⁣ ⁣ Motherhood is not necessarily put on the “to do” list every day, but it sure takes intentional time and effort. Sometimes more time than I anticipated when the “curve balls” come into play like sick kids or your mother intuition kicks in and you just KNOW you need to spend those moments cuddling with your kiddo.⁣ ⁣ Whether you are stay at home, working full time or developing a side hustle while staying at home – being a mother already entails a lot, so how do we manage our schedules, while keeping sane?⁣ ⁣ Tips on the blog today. #motherhoodmonday ⁣ As I reflect on the almost eleven years of coming to Kenya and seven years in the “ethical” business world - I realize there is actually some advice I can give to this platform. ⁣ ⁣ I think I tend to fall under imposter syndrome, thinking how I could possibly add value when I am just learning, but the reality is - I have been in this game for a while now and do have some value to add. I have to constantly fight the lies with truth. Do you have to do that? Those silly lies!⁣ ⁣ Of course, I am always learning, adapting and growing, but I am not so “baby” on the outside as sometimes I might feel on the inside. ⁣ ⁣ So, today I am sharing some advice on being a global entrepreneur 👏⁣ ⁣ My biggest takeaway though after all the practical advice I give is to just enjoy the process. Every day comes with a different challenges or celebrations, but in the midst of building something you love – do not forget to look up and enjoy the community and culture. Not many people can say they are a global entrepreneur, so embrace the journey and the unforgettable moments. Wednesday’s are some of my favorites because I get to share with you my heart on ethical practices. I encourage you to go visit the blog and read about changing the narrative. ⁣ ⁣ Ethical is about morals, building a foundation of trust and deep relationships that are honoring, uplifting and empowering. Ethical is a step above fair-trade because it is bridging the gap for the artisan’s well-being from surviving to thriving.⁣ ⁣ As I finish my last year of my doctorate – my research is focused on sustainable development in social enterprises. This May, I will receive a graduate certificate in corporate sustainability and innovation from Harvard extension school, the end of this year I will defend my thesis and in May 2021, I will proudly walk the stage with a doctorate in hand. The last four years have been a journey, but I would not change any of the long nights or heavy reading assignments because it has made me better for you.⁣ ⁣ To say that I just care about this topic is a bit of an understatement. I live and breathe ethical, sustainable, conscious consumerism and deeply care about not only making systems better, more efficient and ultimately empowering to those involved, but I also care about educating others.⁣ ⁣ My hope is that you will help be a part of the shift and change the narrative with me. (Read more on the blog today) It is the daily smiles that make up for everything. ⁣⁣ ⁣ hang in there mamas - you got this. ♥️⁣⁣ #motherhood
