Haaaaappy Sunday friends, fam, and new faces!
Big news in town! Our very own @dreemsteem will be appearing on the Women to Follow Summit, hosted by Pulitzer-nominated journalist Rose Horowitz! On February 28th, beginning at 10am ET, Dreem will be doing what she does best, shining and empowering others. The summit will take place on Twitter; you can register here!
In her post about the appearance, she talks about overcoming impostor syndrome, a feeling I think TONS of us grapple with. She has this way of making my head nod itself, her words are always on point! It's a daunting feeling just in itself, which makes it hard to address. Here's the truth, all kinds of dynamic people feel like that. And they are wrong. ๐ Believe in yourself, and while you're at it, go tell Dreem how much you believe in her. ๐

MUTERRA : ORIGIN STORY - PART 1 by @muterra
In this first part of the MUTERRA origin story, we encounter a fascinatingly scary premise:
"By the end of the year 2023, Endoradiation brought forth numerous mutations in Flora & Fauna. It was seen as nature's positive response to climate change as it tried to mend itself."
Woah, read the rest here!
Rising Sun by @kojart
Welcome to the first edition of Rise and Grind, a magazine that was conjured up by the king of the castle, @enginewitty. For those who don't know me, I'm @grindan, and I like to write. Witty asked if I'd want to do a Sunday paper of sorts for the friendly faces around alliance spaces. (He didn't rhyme, but wouldn't that have been cool?)
Naturally I said, heck yeah! And here we are. ๐
