10-Year Anniversary Reflection

Hey there, Butterfly Dreamz fam! 

Today is special. A decade (yes, 10 years!!!) ago, I sent out my very first Butterfly Dreamz email, announcing the start of my first children's book and the founding of our organization: Butterfly Dreamz, Inc.  🥰

Whether you have been with me on this journey for a season, a reason, or a lifetime, I'm incredibly grateful for you. 

This has been more than an entrepreneurship journey—it has been a collective story of healing, hope, faith, and impact. For my family, Butterfly Dreamz continues a legacy of 5 generations of public service, social entrepreneurship, and community leadership. 

To reflect on these past 10 years of Butterfly Dreamz, I've asked our Board Chair (my mom, Heather), our Board Secretary (my big sis, Tiffany), and one of our Youth Leaders (my niece, Kayla), to join me for a conversation. 

In the video below, you'll hear us reflect on: 

• Our lessons learned (1:50) 
• Advice to other founders (11:07)
• The challenges we've faced (21:42) 
• Our proudest Butterfly Dreamz moments (36:12)
• And, our vision for the future (46:10)

I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. 

With all my heart, I thank each of you. I love you immensely and am honored to be in this together. Here's to 10 years—and many more to go! 💕🦋

Much love & light, 

Joy
