This blew through our expectations.

We never think about as adults the impact that experiences in our childhood could have on who we become but they are absolutely informative as to how we grow up and problem solve or take care of ourselves or think about things - these adverse childhood experiences are really powerful and to not be aware of them is not okay.

Happily has an incredible network of artists and culture builders.

Seriously this was such a wonderfully organized event with such a special group.

It feels like we've been building up to this for a while and we've been so excited to be here and to create this space and to celebrate black women and girls.

Climate change is not a single crisis. It's an interconnected crisis.

What an amazing event. Huge thanks to Happily, Claire Pattee and the whole team - you are the BEST!

What was also remarkable about the gathering of these pioneers is that it morphed from a conference into an affinity group of like-minded people in a period of 72 hours into the EXP Circle.
