TGIF, everyone! Today is National Cliche Day. A cliche is defined as a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought. However, the reason the phrase becomes overused is usually because it is true and relevant. For instance, this quote by Henry Ford is a cliche, but it also brings up a good point: If you want different results, you have to try a different method. As we head into the weekend, ask yourself how you can tackle a challenge differently so that you will see different results. You might be surprised by how big a difference one small change can make! #foodforthought #cliche #communityaction #henryford #helpingpeoplechanginglives

What an amazing day ☺️ 3 AM alarm clock. 6 AM flight from NOLA to Newark. 11 AM (EST) team meeting to iterate on noirpress.org & portalx.space 2PM Juneteenth panel on Black (economic) Liberation. 5PM Black Yalie dinner. 6PM Dispensary visit. 8PM Train to NHV. Today was one of those days where you feel uber favored by Divinity and in perfect alignment with your purpose. So many close calls and moments when I thought the day could fall apart. But it just kept getting better. Shoutout to my team. Shoutout to my new friends from Ebony & Louise’s important event. I’m grateful to our hosts and all my co-panelists for all the things you taught us and all the ways you challenged me to sharpen my voice. I’m grateful for all of you who came to engage in some deep and radical conversation post-event. I’m grateful to Maxim Thorne for your constructive feedback. I want those I engaged with today to know: I don’t seek to minimize the level of terror that the white structure has exacted on our communities every time we have built power. I have agitated about that for as long as I can remember. But now, the only thing that excites me is immersing myself in the truth of our infinite collective power. The truth of our incredible capacity to overthrow systems of oppression with love, strategy and unrelenting precision. I do not believe that they are more powerful than us. I can never believe that. They’ve only been able to back us into these corners because of our lack of unity and awareness of our power. They know our power more than we do. And they fear it. Which is why they work so hard—with generations-long strategies—to suppress us. But we have overcome. The very fact that we continue to lead culture just by existing should show us that WE are THEIR North Star. Please, let us continue to have these conversations. Let us continue us continue to build bigger, dream wilder. We owe it to our Ancestors and to our descendants. PS: please send me pics! #15cents #Juneteenth #LiberationfromWithin

When Janis Ehlers’ mother became a widow, she adopted a little black dog which we referred to as LBD. She wrote a book entitled, “Little Black Dog Stories,” about her special dog, Daisy, which she believed rescued her. While walking her dog and meeting neighbors at the local dog park, LBD exposed her to new experiences. Janis, president of The Ehlers Group, inherited Daisy when she passed, and she certainly enriches her life. Today is #NationalBlackDogDay and we celebrate black dogs everywhere. #marketingstrategy #seniorliving #retirementhousing #assistedliving #publicrelations #marketing #PRTips #branding #media #seniorlivingmarketing #socialmediastrategist #seniorhousing

Happy #FACSfamFriday, everyone! Next to enter our spotlight is Sean Baker! Sean is an Environmental Health Specialist I, CV-WFS PM, and is out of the Fresno office. Check out Sean's responses to our questions below, as well as a photo of him with his family at a Choctaw Nation gathering.

What is one thing we don't know about you (non-work-related)? I technically do not have a middle name, my full first name is Sean-Paul (yes like the rapper but less musically talented and A LOT less rich). What is one thing that you geek out about? I wouldn't say I geek out (because I don't know every detail or stat) but I love watching Sports and can talk about them for hours, especially the NFL What is your favorite store to shop at in-person or virtually? oh I would say hands down it is Amazon. Everything is just right there a couple clicks away...very dangerous! If you were a super-hero, what power would you want? Well as a guy who has read a lot of comics that is a tough question, but I would have to say LOBO. He is the most well rounded super powered character (strength, regeneration and healing factor, immortality, weapons expert, a long list of etc.) What is your favorite random fact? You can't hum while holding your nose.

Happy #FACSfamFriday, everyone! Taylor Thomas, MBA, our Director of Marketing and pickup basketball legend, is next to enter our spotlight. Check out Taylor's responses to our questions below and a photo of Taylor and her husband, James, cheering on her Portland Trail Blazers! Do you have any questions for Taylor or other FACS employees you'd like to see answered in the next #FACSfamFriday? Let us know by commenting on this post. What's one thing that surprised you about working at FACS? The breadth of knowledge our impressive line-up of staff has (field staff/experts AND operational staff). Not only does this ultimately benefit our clients, but it allows me (and all employees) to constantly have the opportunity to learn something new. What is one thing we don't know about you (non-work-related)? I have a KILLER jump shot. (And really any shot inside of the 3-point line.) Come to think of it...I think we should start an annual FACS shooting contest! What is one thing that you geek out about? Anything related to dogs, but especially my dogs, Cheddar & Jelly (part golden retrievers, part sweet princesses). Favorite quote? Anything from Curb Your Enthusiasm. "Prett-ay, Prett-ay, Prett-ay Good." What is your favorite TV show of all time? Fleabag. If you haven't seen it, stop what you're doing right this second and watch it. Where is your favorite place that you have traveled to? Prague, Czech Republic. It's absolutely beautiful, full of history, and cheaper than Paris! If you could move anywhere in the world, where would you want to move? Maybe somewhere beautiful like the Swiss Alps during the summertime, and during the wintertime, somewhere warm like St. Thomas. What word or phrase do you tend to overuse? "Yes." I'm a recovering people pleaser, actively trying to get better at spreading myself too thin. It also doesn't help that I have a strong case of FOMO with nearly everything (professional and personal!).

Brilliant. Brand partnerships and influencer/endorsement activation is one of my favorite things to work on. Are you getting the right collabs and making them profitable for you?

This Father's Day, we want you to share a skill or life lesson you learnt from your Big Man. No matter how simple it is, share it with us in the comment and we would repost your story on our page on Father's day. Let's go. #johnventsfoods #fathersday2024 #fathersday #jvpurecocoapowder #johnventsgroup #johnvents3in1chocolatedrink
