“Even in this past year… I’ve had the opportunity to just breathe for a minute. As a Latina, family has always been everything to me and it just made me realize again that I needed to focus on my family and I wanted to spend more time with them. And it was okay...it was okay.” – Jennifer Salazar Hutcheson Jennifer talks about her Latina identity and her Peruvian background and growing up in New York. After 9/11 she moved to Georgia where she met her husband who became aware of the racial overtones to her experiences. (1:30) She finds herself back in North Carolina to be with family. She shares a scary experience that happened to her and her two young sons while walking in Charlotte. (8:30) Jennifer opens up about her youngest son and the beginning of their journey with autism. She finds support with family and the blogging community. She talks about seeing things in a different way. She shares her experience with her son using the word ‘Tree’ during the holidays and her reaction of happiness that they are able to connect with the word.  She talks about how it is difficult to find in-person support in her area and how it may be because parents are in different places about being open with their needs. (11.50) Jennifer talks about starting her blog Mami2Mommy.com. With a background in public relations and communication she was able to connect with other Latina moms using this platform. She talks about the early days of blogging – attending Blogalicious and Hispanicize events and finding her people in the Latino community and helping to build it. Her son calls her a pioneer. (20:40) She talks about her parents and family hustling and working hard and learning from them. Jennifer talks about taking a pause for now and shares her words of wisdom: to give ourselves the opportunity to take a break and just breathe.

In this episode, I continue my conversation with Stacey Ferguson of BeBlogalicous, a multicultural conference for bloggers of color. We discuss how to be a multi-passionate entrepreneur, the mindset behind building a huge blogger conference that's never been done before, we chat diversity and inclusion and why it was so important to her over the ten year run of Blogalicious, and we discuss how to be yourself in business and be okay about it.Stacey is known for building amazing relationships with HUGE brands and being able to show you how to do it, too. She teaches what she's learned over the last decade so that you see how your audience is valuable to brands and others who want to partner with you. “Brands don't sponsor you because you're cute. Your platform is a valuable marketing tool,” Stacey Ferguson. Well, BAM! That's good. It is important that whoever you partner with respects your audience and wants to see them succeed. Leveraging your audience with a brand's initiative to find a win-win is key. Stacey hosts sponsorship training, and I am a proud taker of said course. I share how Stacey's training helped me gain sponsorship for my last brunch. Woo! Tune in for these juicy tips from Stacey. She goes in-depth on how to decide WHO to partner with. And how she gets her family involved in helping her conference be a success.We then talk being present as a mom, balancing full-time work, finding time for herself, and balancing it all with this big dream of hosting a blogger conference for multi-passionate multicultural women. Have your pen and paper ready. Today's episode is really good. It was great to connect and listen to all her wisdom. Pull out what you need and implement what you can. Think outside the box for events during this season. Online events still need sponsors. Happy connecting and being multi-passionate!Connect with Stacey at http://justicefergie.com and find out more about Blogalicious at http://beblogalicious.com P.S. Hey girl, hey!

I do not have a green thumb. The past few years, I’ve tried to start a garden in my backyard and it almost always ends up overrun with weeds, or one year all of my cucumbers ended up just eating everything else in my garden. I had no less than 50 cucumbers that year, and then the next year I wasn’t able to grow anything, then the next year I tried to grow things with plants, and maybe had a couple of jalapeños. But for the most part, every year, my garden has turned into a big flop. I really wish I could garden, I really want to learn how to garden. So, this year we’re going to try again, we’re going to do some raised beds, planted some fruit trees, got some blueberry bushes that maybe will give us some blueberries. We’ve got a blackberry bush, we’re trying. My guest today, took the idea of a garden in her backyard, and decided she no longer wanted to just feed her family, she wanted to feed her entire community on the south side of Chicago. What was once a small idea that she had, is now a full fledged dream that she is pursuing. FOLLOWING OPEN DOORS After the death of Natasha’s sister, she learned not to take life for granted. She started to explore areas where she could use her passions to serve other people and boy did her idea explode. Molly and Natasha discuss the miracles that happen when you follow open doors. Her community garden has not only opened doors in her own life, but opened the doors of people in the community, allowing them to come together, get to know one another, and support each other in times of need and celebration. STARTING A COMMUNITY GARDEN From starting a small community garden, to collaborating with other non-profits in Chicago to buy a plot of land that has sustained much of the community, Natasha’s vision has grown beyond what she imagined. Their unique design allows for the community to come together and request certain foods, sparking an interest that they’re hoping will lead to classes, teaching others how to grow and sustain their own food. About Natasha Nicholes, Founder of House of Nicholes: Natasha C. Nicholes is a serious maker. To be a serious maker, you need the ability to see things not as they are but as what they can be. Not only that, you need the skills to make that vision into reality. That is Natasha’s super power. Where others saw an abandoned lot on the Southside of Chicago, Natasha saw a community garden overflowing with greens, fresh food for her neighbors, and chickens. Because of Natasha’s community leadership and hard work, the We Sow We Grow Community Garden allied with local stores, won features on the Harry show and in the Chicago Tribune, and was a 2017 Iris Award Nominee for the Best Philanthropic Work of the Year. Not only does Natasha grow food, she grows humans. She made four bold and brilliant children with her husband – and even made two of them at the same time. She even homeschools. But when she was researching online to find families like hers, she didn’t find any voices of African Americans represented. So of course, she created her own space at www.housefulofnicholes.com. Through her blog, Natasha forged partnerships with companies and organizations such as Kia,Samsung, General Mills, Dream Kids, and Habitat for Humanity. She spoke at conferences such as Blogalicious,BlogHer, National Box Tops University, and various Illinois Farm Bureau summits. She is the Travel Editor at Mom 2.0 Summit and was a cast member for the Chicago 2017 Listen to Your Mother Show. And if that isn’t enough, there’s more. Sewing. Knitting. Canning. Preserving. Building. Growing. Sowing. Natasha can do all these things. She is a serious maker.

"What is my mission? What is my brand story?" They say that a dream without a plan is just a wish. That a goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline. We're going to say that a business without a dream, a goal, a plan, and a deadline is a mess. A well developed brand strategy ties all of these essential elements together for your business. It refines your why (your overall vision and dream) and your what and when (specific goals on a specific timeline) before nailing down the how with a long-term plan that moves you toward achieving your goals. It can feel like an tremendous undertaking, but once your brand strategy is clearly defined it provides a framework to follow. Your day to day decisions and path to success will become easier and more clearly defined as well. For this week's episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast, we were super excited to sit down and chat with Stacey Ferguson about building a digital brand strategy and so much more. Stacey has hit legend status for those who have been immersed in this space for some time: she started blogging in 2006 about being a working mom and attorney on Mama Law, before co-founding the Be Blogalicious conference and networking community celebrating diversity in social media. She's now an influencer coach, media personality, digital brand strategist, content creator, public speaker, and Chief Curator of the Be Blogalicious community and conferences. Listen in to hear us discuss: how Blogalicious has evolved along with influencer marketing— and what's in store this year for its 10th anniversary Stacey's "recipe" for running a successful event what has changed the most in influencer marketing over the last decade the importance of brand strategy for influencers, as well as knowing your audience tips for crafting better pitches how to give a full picture of the value you've provided a brand something you probably should have done six months ago to boost productivity and revenue the components of your personal brand that Stacey finds essential for a sustainable revenue stream They're hiring you, at the end of the day, so that they can show a return on their investment. That you're a great marketing resource for the brand. And so I want influencers to be extremely professional. -Stacey Ferguson There's a ton of topics to chew on when it comes to building your brand strategy—join us over in Businessese HQ on Facebook to share your questions, progress, and flashes of brilliance!
