I could pretend the timing was a planned thing. Bu I could pretend the timing was a planned thing. But I’m trying to divorce perceptions of perfection. I wanted this book finished in January. I am by nature an overachieving optimist. I have grand ideas and quite some impatience. It turns out, I’m not allergic to wait-time. The last 3 months involved fleshing out nitty gritty, doubts & fears, what if’s, what not’s, paperwork, parenting...And a lot of waiting. But now I have a better product and clearer vision. Trying to marry passion with business feels like planning a wedding. It’s the learning how to maximise opportunity while being sustainable. It’s the learning on the job, the mistakes, the set-backs, the little wins. Can passion and business have a relationship where both respect each other and are mindful of growing each other - the long game? Thank you for being here. We will have news very shortly. Watch this space! And thank you for supporting this business, passion & my (growing) family. ✏️Nicole 💁🏻‍♀️ What have you learnt when things took longer than expected?
Just wanted to spend a moment explaining the cover Just wanted to spend a moment explaining the cover art for Part Two. ID: a young black girl in purple pyjamas is holding her bunny and green comfort blanket while watching a street protest on TV. She may not understand it, but she is watching. The vision of this three part series is to address for children the big deals that hit our media in 2020. A lot happened - and is still happening. It was messy but it mattered and it needs to be remembered if it’s to be learnt from. Aren’t children ‘too young’ to process the depths of racial injustice? “Not those adorable, innocent little people!” I’ll be first to lend my personal life as example. By 2nd grade, I had, on multiple occasions: witnessed, experienced and participated in racism - but I didn’t know it at the time. To not have to deal with any racial discrimination in childhood is purely privilege. Now, as both mother and teacher, I can attest to preparing children ahead of their personal experiences, so they can better respond when occasions arise. Not if... when. I’m not saying our cutie pies will respond perfectly, but they’re more likely to tell you about it or even begin to identify racism, which is important early on. So this is my acknowledgement that majority of the world’s children are not safe from racism, and that they are not all innocent either. This is my ode to real events and real issues for families everywhere! This is why I write - to address big, hairy topics that are hard to ignore, but uncomfortable to talk about... elephants in the room. And I do hope it’s why you’ll read it. -N.C
