REFRAME, a workshop by RKCO to let --it go.

I created this video with my iPhone.  Not perfect by any means. but I'm excited to try and learn new things.  So, here's to starting new journeys, pushing through fear...and doing it anyway.

Music Video - What is a Woman

I'm co-founder of a company called Rural Kind Co. Our focus has been on a Women's Conference Tour that we created called SHE IS. I created this music video last fall in my living room along with Iesha, the superstar in the video, who is the singer and writter of the song. She wrote this song specifically for these conferences with her band, SHE'S WITH US. The awesome part was meeting all of the beautiful women from our community that were willing to respond to a phone call asking if they would come and dance for a video. All ages came and it was crazy fun...to say the least. Loving and learning, that's what we end up doing. So, cheers to "let's just do it".
