Welcome

Hello Y'all!


Welcome to the start of my event planning & marketing firm Intrigue Events I couldn't be more excited to begin this journey as a business owner and I plan to keep track of everything from developing my brand to detailed accounts of my events past, present & hopeful. My vision for this blog is to be used as an event planning and marketing tool for others as well as the very beginning seeds of my entrepreneurial endeavor. As always, I am open to any advice and feedback that you may have.


For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for people and have enjoyed attending and planning events of all sorts. It is my dream to lead a group of individuals with the same passion towards success and happiness in this industry. I anticipate this journey taking a long and curvy road but isn't it those roads that expose you to life's true beauty?




Paragons & Mentors:
All of these women defined their passions, created a dream and  relentlessly pursued their dreams refusing to settle for anything less than success. These women are some of the most grounded, giving, intelligent, well-rounded, hard-working, innovative and inspirational people I have ever met or known. It's no secret that in the world of business there is still a glass ceiling staring down at women no matter what industry, but these ladies have shattered the ceiling above them and have given hope to young women like myself pursuing not just a career in business but a strong leadership position within the field of their choosing. These 3 women below have actually taken time (significant time) out of their hectic schedules and crazy lifestyles to mentor me. To give me advice, opportunities and a vision for my future - I am forever indebted to them...
