Sparrow Creative Studios

Thank you to Voyage KC for taking the time to showcase my small business, Sparrow Creative Studios, as well as the work I'm doing to bring STATSdraft to the world. As it turns out, as I was writing about the mentors I've had in my life, one of them was quickly and quietly losing a battle with cancer.

Martha Littleton was one of the most insanely talented people I've ever met. She was an entirely self-taught innovator who launched real estate communities across the Carolinas and into Virginia. If you've been in Raleigh at all, you've likely seen something she touched. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for her seeing something in me and telling me I could do anything I wanted. I like to believe I told her plenty of times how much of an influence she had in my life. But truthfully, it was never enough. I'm heartbroken she is gone.

Feel free to chat out my interview, especially my other shout-outs, who have played big roles in specific parts of my journey. Notice how most of them are women???

It's been a minute since I've shared any updates about Sparrow. So it was time to pop on and talk about some fun things I've been doing behind the scenes. First up: the Yarn Barn of Kansas!

We've been tackling a social media strategy that's boosted their online presence significantly. Not only do we get to play with squishy yarn, but we're helping share the endless knowledge they offer that inspires crafters from across the globe.

I was in tears last week after completing my first full season with Red Dog's Dog Days. Part of it was because it was so much work! But the biggest reason is because I'm so proud to be a part of this incredibly uplifting community. Check out the full story here: https://buff.ly/3dyV1WH

We're two days into Women's History Month, and if you haven't read the report on the status of women in Kansas from United WE, you should take a moment to do so. We know women across the country make less than men. But for women in Kansas, those earnings are even less. That means less income. Less retirement (if you can afford it at all). Less money for education, less money for childcare, less money for our basic human necessities. And this was just one of the stats that stopped me dead in my tracks.

We have so far to go. But for now, I pledge to do more for women in Kansas. If you're interested, let's talk about ways we can make that happen. Read the report here: https://buff.ly/3HB4PZA

We're up on Kelsey Kimberlin Photography's blog today. Thanks to Kelsey for our sweet little brand shoot that captured the story behind why we love snickerdoodles so much.
