A Promise for the Future

August, 3 2020 - My commitment to a better future

Today is August 3. The year is 2020. We are in the middle of a global pandemic. It is also my nephew Holden’s third birthday. My son Sam learned how to quack and blow his nose. My parents live in my basement. We are quarantined together, going on five months now. We eat dinner together every night. We share morning coffee. I drew a raccoon superhero with chalk on my driveway this morning. Sam wanted me to. The rain washed it away shortly after. And, I am officially launching Kanitha Studio LLC. These are some of the things happening today.  

Fast forward five years. We will no longer be in a global pandemic. Holden will be 8 and living up to his nickname, Hurricane Holden. Sam will be 6 and will hopefully defy his nickname, Tsunami Sam. Anti-racist policies will be the norm across organizations, schools, and corporations. I will be working alongside other womxn and people of color and our allies to elevate the work of womxn and people of color. Kanitha Studio LLC will have grown through purposeful collaborations with others who have a shared sense of purpose and alignment. We will have partnered with hundreds of clients who are working to create positive change. We will have co-created meaningful relationships with Black, Indigenous, Asian, Latina, and other womxn of color to support and grow their businesses. We will have used our voices to tell stories that matter. 

Today, I commit to working towards this future, and living my beliefs.

I believe in the power of words. 

I believe in intentionality.

I believe in forward thinking.

I believe in moving fast and failing fast.

I believe in using my superpowers to support womxn-and BIPOC-owned businesses.

I believe in organizations who work to create positive change.

I believe in collaborating with those who put people before profit.
