OVERLOOKED ESSENTIAL
I know who I am and what I want, but most people have no idea of my intentions. It hasn’t been hard to understand why my intentions are unclear. It’s just hard to stop and think about how other people may interpret good intentions. But that’s the gig.
Here are my intentions.
I want to build community.
It’s simple.
It’s also really complicated.
I’ll explain why.
My superpower is synthesis. I like to take several concepts to actualize innovative constructs. For example, #KickballQU is a combination of a co-ed sporting event and networking. For the last few years, it has also been like a reunion and hub for back-to-school giveaways through our partnership with REPRESENT THE ALTERNATIVE , SAMMY’S GIVEBACK PROJECT, FRESHLIFE ENTERTAINMENT, and others.
The initial concept was developed because I acknowledge lifelong connections that I’ve made through playing & coaching basketball. To duplicate the connection process, I needed a co-ed sport.
KICKBALL!
At #KICKBALLQU We all start the game as ORANGE or BLUE, but we end the game on the same TEAM.
A community.
It takes time, energy, and collaboration to even make the game happen.
That’s a different community that I am wildly grateful for.
Now!
We are conceptualizing something new.
#SUPPORTFEST
As a concept, is supposed to be a networking event, happy hour, afterwork party, pop-up shop, and more…….an overall vibe.
And to be real with you, it’s been hard to actualize this construct.
The crowds for all those concepts don’t always align. It’s tough to articulate. But, the reality is, when it all comes together, it’s magical.
#SUPPORTFEST is a hit when there are people in the room.
We just have to get people in the room.
The way I see it, everyone is trying to build their own community. I want my legacy to be making it happen. There is no need to overcomplicate that part. Support is necessary for the greater good of our communities. It can’t remain an overlooked essential.
