THANK YOU for participating and leading at our 3rd Entrepinayship Business x Wellness Retreat and Summit. As a gift of our appreciation, you should have received a link to claim the digital version of The Body Papers, a memoir written by Grace Talusan. Please find below a special message for you from Grace:
Dear Entrepinays,
I am so honored to be in your presence as a 2020 Entrepinayship Speaker and thrilled that you are receiving my book as a gift from Anna Marie and Entrepinayship. This means so much to me because I wrote this book for us. You are the reader I had in mind. I hope you find something in my writing to connect with and I hope you feel seen. My wish is that my stories make you feel less alone with yours. And most importantly, I look forward to hearing your stories, which are vital to our community, and will help us find each other and also become even more visible in a culture that constantly tries to erase us. I used to be afraid of talking honestly about my lived experiences and I kept a lot of secrets, but I have learned from writing and publishing this book that the risk continues to be worth it.
I feel strongly that my success is your success and vice versa; we can reach our goals and touch our dreams together. I would love to hear from you at thebodypapers@gmail.com or on social media (Twitter gracet09, Instagram gracetalusanwriter) and continue the conversation and also find ways to collaborate.
With profound gratitude,
Grace Talusan
