What an achievement! Our four managing partners and our Chief Innovation Officer and Managing Director of Global Sales trained and prepared with incredible dedication—and it showed as they successfully completed the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Rock 'n' Roll 5K! 👏 Not only was it a personal victory, but they also supported St. Jude’s lifesaving work in the fight against childhood cancer. As we celebrate National Minority Health Month, we’re reminded of the importance of health equity and the power of hard work. We couldn’t be prouder of our team’s commitment to this important cause. 🌟 #ABCDMagic #NationalMinorityHealthMonth #StJude5K #HealthEquity #TeamABCD #MakingADifference

💥 “Too emotional.” “Too loud.” “Too ambitious.” “Not enough.” Women are constantly told what they can’t be. But what if we turned those limitations into superpowers? In the latest edition of my newsletter, Creativity In Color, I explore how the very things we’re told to suppress—our intuition, resilience, and creativity—are actually the driving forces behind innovation. At ABCD & Company, I’ve spent my career transforming doubt into bold, unapologetic brilliance. It’s time to take the shards of what we’ve been told and build something extraordinary. Let’s create, lead, and own our power. #CreativityInColor #WomenWhoCreate #CreativeSuperpowers #BreakingBarriers #WomensHistoryMonth #ABCDMagic
