We're at the fun part of conference planning where we're doing outreach to prospective talent & speakers!

We have a good list to work from.

Very nice to get this part going - the list of nominated folks is looking good!

As a non-cooker, I will keep my role of bringing the libations - for the adults & the youth.

That's the best I got, & all I can do. LOL

Here I am at 9pm putting together a spreadsheet to capture all of the ideas I see that I could use or remix for my projects.

This will help me organize all of the links I save in my Proj. Transformation folder.

The only way I'd open this laptop on a Sunday - for my work.

I found a planner shop (digital) that has the setup I need for my future planner shop -

An Etsy store & a standalone website.

The website setup is simple, but very functional. Has some cool assets that I could do for my stuff.

An unexpected idea well win.

We don’t need the post-show, no shade.

Playing Down for My Niggas & Back That Azz Up as the final songs gave me life.

What a time in hip-hop.

Between Luda with Roll Out & this song - middle & high school were wild. Lol

Shout out to all of the “get your roll on” jokes I heard because of this song. 🤣🤣

The weather was perfect as we celebrated the life of my uncle today.

Saw some faces I haven’t seen in years. Got called my childhood nickname by my babysitter & family.

Rest well, Unc. You did good.

Love,

Twenty years ago Nazi tattoos were bad…

15 years ago … Nazi tattoos still bad

Yesterday… Nazi tattoos still bad

Today … nazi tattoos still bad

There is no period of time where Nazi tattoos are good

I finally bit the bullet and got a social media management platform.

Been eyeing this platform for awhile - now is the perfect time to use it.

So excited. This is going to help me get organized so good w/ posting content.

I believe we almost have the design for the podcast logo completed.

Got some good feedback on round 2 of edits. Gotta make some tweaks & go from there.

But I'm excited with how this is shaping out - can't believe this is my life.

The Luther doc is certainly heart-breaking, but I'm glad we have a robust storytelling that was done beautifully.

I cannot wait to see how Sinners do with the re-release. It's so dang good.

I'm looking forward to doing my rewatch for spooky season.

Between that & Luther's doc - still not over either of them.

This workshop affirmed what I’m doing & where I’m aiming to go with my newsletter.

It also made me think about the feel + voice for future newsletters for the podcast & stationery brand.

Good 2 hours spent. Now time to chill.

Vilissa Thompson @vilissathompson.bsky.social · 9d

I'm in this workshop for writing & starting a newsletter, and this is such a timely one to be in.

I'm not too sad about being on a Zoom on a Sunday - looking forward to learning from our session lead.

Basically.

I don't get the stealing just to put it in a private collections - feels so useless.
