This week I had the pleasure and privilege of attending the premiere of Lola Atkin's film, "Purple Beatz". One of my favourite lines from the movie was "You don't have to be great to start but starting will lead to greatness".

I loved it so much because it put me in mind of the conversation that I had with Lola and her co-host, Nughe, when I on their podcast a while back. In it I shared that when we think about being used for purpose or making impact through PR, we tend to overcomplicate it. We see the Oprahs of the world, or whoever it is that you admire, and think "Oh, God, I've gotta do it like that". When the truth is, you don't have to be anybody but yourself in terms of current skillset, network, net worth and so on to start your visibility journey. Simply dream big but start small- knowing that your gifts will open up doors and make room for you naturally.
