Inside The Office with Designer Radiah Rhodes

 

You know how Charlie Brown’s Pig Pen character walks around with his dust cloud?

Radiah’s joy, optimism and “life changing love” are fully experienced whenever she is present. Radiah has learned to Be. So, when planning our Inside The Office calendar this year, we could not think of a better person to feature in January, the month we create or dust off resolutions and make ourselves promises on our journey to a better us. Read on and learn how Radiah uses a prophetic phrase she spoke to her dad several years ago to literally design her life, and help others design theirs, day after day and year after year.

Inside The Office with our #12DaysofCSuiteChicks Promotion Winner, Jaclyn Smith

We were so inspired by the Inside The Office submissions we received during our #12DaysOfCSuiteChicks promotion earlier this year. In fact, we were grateful to use a random name generator to select our winner, because choosing based on merit would have been an impossible task! That said, we could not be more thrilled to have this beautiful, authentic "Ed Hustler" be our winner!

Meet Jaclyn Smith, a powerful educational advocate and fantastic human being. We love that Jaclyn shared a glimpse of her story here, and hope you have the privilege of meeting her one day to learn more of it. Her journey "ain't been no crystal stair", but many children and youth will be the better because she continues to climb.
