Sharing, celebrating, and amplifying Black voices is something I believe in doing all year round, not just during Black History Month.
But seeing as it is Black History Month, I’d love to connect with you over some of the people, playlists, books, and artists I’ve been enjoying and learning from lately.

Badass Folx in Biz - Michelle Miller | Minty Made
Without a doubt meeting trail-blazing biz owners, like Michelle Miller, Founder and Creative Director of Minty Made, has been one of my fave parts of biz ownership so far.
Read all about Michelle’s journey out of the corporate design world into full-time ecopreneurship. To say Michelle is blazing a trail when it comes to sustainable design and strategy would be an understatement. Watch out for BIG THINGS happening very soon for this extraordinary woman.

The Power of Collaboration on The Sustainable Shift Podcast
When Petria asked in her private Coco Rose Eco Facebook group, “Who wants to be a guest on my podcast?” I gingerly raised my hand. A podcast?! Me?! Talking to a bunch of people on the internet?!

My Year in Review: 2020 - The Year of Resilience
I know I’m showing up tardy to the party with this one, but in my opinion it’s never too late to reflect, celebrate, and get excited about what’s to come.
So here it is - my 2020 review! And, whew...what a year, eh?!
Even though I started working at my copywriting business in 2019, last year was the first full year weaving word magic over here at Echo + Scribe.
There’ve been so many highs and lows up to this point, with a helluva lot of learnings (and unlearnings) thrown in.
The 3 main questions I’ve been thinking about are:
What went well and why?
What didn’t go so well and what did I learn?
What am I working towards in 2021 and how will I make it all happen?
Let’s get stuck in.
Badass Folx in Biz - Davey McConnell | The Eco Helper
There comes a time in every entrepreneur’s life when you just gotta make those big moves.
Hiring a Virtual Assistant for the first time felt like a huge leap of faith, and I had no idea how I was going to handle it.
For me, asking for help is hard, so the thought of outsourcing an aspect of my business felt extremely uncomfortable.
But I needed to do something to keep my biz ticking over while I popped out a new human and enjoyed some quality R’n’R time.
Because we all know disappearing on your audience isn’t going to do you any favours. So you need to hire someone who’s going to keep stoking the proverbial biz fire while you’re gone.
And I couldn’t think of anyone better than Davey, a.k.a. The Eco Helper.
Badass Folx in Biz - Rebecca Sweet | RSweet Design
If I’ve learned anything since starting my own business, it’s the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people.

When you work with inspiring humans, you get inspired. It’s that simple.
