Threads of Tradition: The Sewing Heritage of Kentucky - Kentucky, known for its bluegrass, bourbon, and beautiful landscapes, is a state with a rich and diverse history. But did you know that the art of sewing has played an integral role in the lives of Kentuckians throughout the years? In this blog post, we'll take a journey through time and explore the fascinating relationship between sewing and the Bluegrass State.https://https://lnkd.in/gYKmnFN4

You want me to eat what? One of my fondest childhood memories is this little shop that sold bierocks. I found it so random that a Bierock stand and ski shop was in my Black neighborhood. At the time I had no idea what skiing was, and I definitely had not a clue about galuskies or Bierocks. Nor was I willing to try them. Fast forward 10 years and I attended college at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Ks. And coincidentally Volga Germans had settled in Hays, Ks. And what did I find myself eating, Bierocks and galuskies. LOL! 10 years later, I found myself in Breckenridge, Colorado on a ski slope. D!versity is SO important in many ways. We must move the conversation beyond saviorism. Beyond, me and my privileges saving others. Beyond I must be an ally because people need my help. We need to get to a place where we co-exist. Where differences are comforting. These white businesses did not have a problem being in my predominately Black neighborhood. I never had a problem with them. In fact, I felt comfortable browsing around the ski shop and ordering a drink from the Bierock stand. I felt comfortable that when it came time for me to try new things, I was willing to. I was comfortable with these things that weren’t culturally relevant to me, because they were familiar to me. And in an odd way, they were a part of my culture. Because white shops were comfortable being in community with Black folks. You know… We need Black shops in predominantly white neighborhoods. We need mosques next to the Lutheran church. We need the artist next to the scientist. We need to community. Occasionally when I visit home, I make sure to visit the community that shaped me. I drive by Central avenue and past a few of my fondest memories. The Slope Ski shop that sits on the north side of the street. And the Bierock stand that sits on the south side. What’s a fond memory for you related to difference? #colou_consulting #humanflourishing #everydaypractices #mentalhealthandwellbeing #colouconsulting

Absolutely LOVE how 2024 is turning into the year of women’s sports. Here are just a few highlights thus far: 1. The Women’s March Madness Final Four game between Iowa and UConn had the largest audience of any basketball game in ESPN history. 2. The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) has 1,100 sponsorship deals, creating a 25% increase from previous years. 3. At the end of 2023, the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) secured a $240 million domestic TV sponsorship deal with CBS, ESPN, Amazon, and Scipps. This deal is 40 times larger than previous agreement. 4. According to financial analysts at Deloitte, elite women’s sports will generate $1.28 billion in 2024 - this is an increase of 300% from three years ago. 5. Selfish plug - Dallas is now going to have a professional women’s soccer team called Dallas Trinity FC and they will be playing in the Cotton Bowl Stadium! (Season Membership Deposit secured) I’m very excited to continue to see the growth in women’s sports and to see how these elite athletes are impacting the next generation. #EqualPay #CaitlinClark #DallasTrinityFC #Gatorade #LPGA #NWSL
