“Celebrating Life, Now” with Lynnette Abbott - 155

Lead with Love: Creativity, Business & Life with Jadah Sellner

Do you ever catch yourself watching, wishing and waiting to press play on a dream or idea that’s been brewing in your heart?

What I’ve noticed with many of my clients is they already have success in business, but they have this secret heart project that they want to bring to the world.

In this episode, I get cozy with Lynnette Abbott where we talk about trust, taking steps blindly and making decisions from love, not fear.

Lynnette Abbott is the founder and designer of Craft My Occasion, a company that creates party supplies celebrating children of color.

What started as a party planning company, turned into a purpose-driven company when Lynnette discovered that there was a huge disparity in the amount and variety of party supplies that feature characters of colors. As a creative, Lynnette was compelled to create more diversity for the party planning industry.

Craft My Occasion’s party supplies raised more than $21,000 and was named a “Project We Love” by Kickstarter. The party supplies have also been featured in The Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, Parents, Black Enterprise, and POPSUGAR.
