SUPERWOMAN

THE COST OF BEING EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE

Reader,

There are conversations we’ve been trying to have for years—but most of the time, there’s no room for them. Not in team meetings. Not in strategy calls. Not even at the kitchen table.

But they’re still happening—in group chats, in passing glances, in the silence between “I’m good” and what’s really being carried.

That’s why I’m extending this invitation—not to perform, not to fix anything, but to sit with what too often goes unspoken.

Superwoman Syndrome: The Cost of Being Everything to Everyone
A Fireside Chat | Friday, April 18 | 12PM EST
Hosted by Felicia Ford + Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown featuring Dr. Venessa Perry via Zoom.

This is part of National Black Girl Month™—but it’s not just for Black women. It’s for anyone who’s worked with, loved, been led by, or learned from one.

We’re not asking you to have the perfect language.
We’re asking you to show up.

Because chances are, you know someone who’s been stretched too thin for too long.

You’ve watched her hold space for everyone else, without anyone asking what she needed.

And maybe, just maybe—you’ve been that woman.

This isn’t a keynote. It’s not a panel. It’s a conversation rooted in truth—one that will name what many have felt but haven’t had the words for. And whether you come to speak, listen, or reflect quietly, your presence matters.

Even if you’re not sure what to say.
Even if all you do is show up and take it in.
Even if you didn’t know you needed this.

I hope you’ll join us.

Not just for the conversation—but for what might open up because of it.

Hi, Reader, Did you grow up in the era of sending and receiving cards for every occasion? Lisa Frank folders, binders, stickers and pens? Beautifully packaged invitations for a special moment to celebrate with family and friends? If you did, you know the excitement of finding an envelope in the mail with familiar handwriting. You know the joy of collecting those notes, cards and stationary for keepsakes in an album or your scrapbook. Some things have evolved, but others have taken us further...

Hi, Reader, You’ve felt it too, haven’t you? Something’s shifted. The rooms you used to walk into don’t feel right. The people who once kept pace… aren’t. And your capacity for pretending nothing’s changed? Gone. You're shedding, my friend. And so am I. But that's not all that's changed, Reader: Episode 075 of Impact Innovators aired almost two weeks ago and that's it...for now. I restructured our internal ops at Felicia Ford & Co.® I accidentally deleted our Wordpress website...and it's...
