Hi First name!
 
I hope this message finds you well. As we approach the end of July, I wanted to share some personal updates and news about our upcoming events.
 
Today is my birthday! As I turn the page to Chapter 42, I reflect on the challenges and growth of Chapter 41. This past year has been one of the most challenging, particularly concerning my health, following the complications from my last pregnancy. I’ve been diagnosed with diastasis recti—a condition that causes a separation of abdominal muscles, leading to a visible gap and significant back and hip pain. I am also experiencing pain with a twisted pelvis. These conditions required extensive recovery efforts with my dedicated healthcare team, including a physical therapist, primary care physician, chiropractor, and therapist. The physical toll of having a large baby at 40, especially while managing gestational diabetes, has been immense for me.
 
Those of you who attended our June events are aware that I began taking a break at the start of July to prioritize health.
While I love helping others, this season demands that I focus on my personal health first. For those fortunate enough to have never experienced postpartum depression or any form of depression, know that it's a severe ongoing struggle. The path to recovery is filled with unexpected challenges, including spiritual and emotional attacks at vulnerable moments. However, these challenges are shaping a testimony that I can’t wait to share at the Lady Boss Round Table Summit. Oooh, it’s going to be SO good because this story, my story, is going to HEAL others, but only once I HEAL myself.
 
With my recovery in mind, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the Lady Boss Round Table Summit to May 17, 2025. This was not an easy decision, but it is necessary to ensure we can offer the exceptional experience you've come to expect.
 
Please mark your calendars for our upcoming events in September and October. I look forward to reconnecting then, refreshed and revitalized.
 
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me, offering advice and being so supportive. It truly means the world to me.

MY BIRTHDAY WISH THIS YEAR
 
As I celebrate another birthday today, I'm committed to an essential mission for our brands: securing their trademarks to protect their unique identities and future. With the trademarking process costing around $850 per brand, and with at least 8 brands to protect (3 of which are already pending with USPTO), the costs quickly add up.
 
Contributions from our community will directly fund the trademarking process, ensuring our brands remain distinctive and protected against potential infringement. If you believe in the vision and values of what we're building and want to help safeguard our creative assets, please consider making a contribution today. Your support is more than just a gift—it's an investment in the stability and growth of our businesses.
 
Thank you for considering supporting the L' Shanell Enterprises, LLC trademark initiative. Every contribution helps.

The political landscape has evolved significantly—cheers to new beginnings and leadership shifts! I'm excited about the fresh energy and perspectives, especially with Kamala Harris's recent strides. I've been busy crafting the “Kamala Harris 2024" collection for the Culture Boss brand, and it's selling fast! I feels good to use my creative skills while also expressing myself and giving others a chance to do the same.
 
We proudly support Kamala Harris because her dedication to social justice, including criminal justice reform, economic equality, healthcare access, environmental sustainability, and protecting the rights of marginalized communities, resonates deeply with our mission. A portion of all proceeds from this collection will be donated to her campaign through ActBlue, supporting her vision for a better America and the fight to save our democracy. 
 
More merchandise will be added regularly, so keep checking back! Join us in advocating for a brighter future—every purchase makes a difference.
