Even though I may host this
podcast solo, this show is far from a solo effort. I’ve worked hard
to surround myself with an amazing team and I know how incredibly
valuable it is to connect and work with others who understand and
support your passion and goals. Danielle Desir has successfully
created a supportive online community and she shares tips for how
to leverage your own online community, the power of organic growth,
how to nurture conversations and connection within a community and
so much more!

led Danielle to create her own campaign for women of color
podcasters

Danielle sparked engagement and nurtured her initial Facebook group

it means to be a leader that fosters organic growth in a
community

Memorable Quotes:
- “We
get stuck on this idea that being a leader means that we need to
have all of the conversations...but you’re saying...allow the
member’s voices to shine through.”
- “As community participants we don’t
really see behind the scenes of the challenges or the ups and downs
of everything.”
- “As you create your community, it’s
important to share your vulnerable moments—it helps your community
relate to you more.”
- “We
all want the REAL. We don’t want the perfectly
polished.”
- “You
can’t replace in person. Even with the power of social media we
need the in person
connections.”
