Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all of you! 🤍 Celebrating female entrepreneurs and my little world changers. I’m so excited for the path we have collectively carved out for the next generation. Let’s continue to be inclusive, use our voices and do great things. 🤍
Lucky doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel to be their mom.
I am pretty sure I’ve discovered family gold when it comes to weekend activities. You can thank me later. I first started sharing about CMX Cinemas on my IG and my DMs blew up so I wanted to share in a full blog post as well.
