What's important about NSA for me is the connection. It's getting reinvigorated with the people whether it's virtually or in person. I think my best connections have been a posse I've found who support me, but also hold my feet to the fire and help me build my business and help me do what it is that I love to do.

I've come to find a circle of fellow speakers who are walking this same journey with me who can inspire me on the days when I'm not sure what to do next and how they've gone where I want to go.

I would not be where I am today had it not been for my lasting connections with the amazing members of NSA. I'm just so happy to be a member of this association that believes in uplifting humanity.
