A ROCK N ROLL MARATHON? Rockin out at the Rock n Roll Marathon Fitness Expo in the DC Convention. It was more like a fitness sales event as an adjunct to race registration, but okay. We started our journey at Happy Island, where I raced #ActiveBodyworks Tina to the top of a mountain, sponsored by #Brooks running shoes. Moving along the expo we learned trivia about the benefits of chocolate milk, which I used to finally beat Tina in another head-to-head competition. Lol I was thoroughly impressed by the moisturing cream #HawaiianMoonAloe on my hands! ...to the rescue if you suffer from dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, etc. I will be ordering a jar online and sharing with my crusty, ashy friends. Lol I was in such a good mood after #DJyoungRye played Love Shack, I donated blood for stem cell research. I saw the coolest waterproof mp3 earplugs from #Thump electronic accessories. This guy had his demonstration down and great prices- I look forward to watching him at 2am on a louder-than-your-program-volume infommercial Real soon. I munched on Beef Jerky from #LaurasLeanBeef from an eclectic group of Kentuckians-I think? If you never had a Chia Seed, you should try Mamma Chia beverages. Apparently this little seed is one of the most nutrient dense foods in the world...and tasty too. Got a free coupon to cop a bottle at #YesOrganicMarket until it comes to #HarrisTeeter. #winning So far, this expo has the most interesting selection of vendors I would actually buy. We ended on a runner's note with #BlackGirlsRun a DC area group of women that share a passion for running and a support system for non- runners to get started. Good layout, good products, overall-a good event. #RocknRollMarathon #EA

A Day of How-to's and What-next's March 10 marked the beginning of a networking day of adventure... Starting the morning off with a small business summit of workshops ranging from social media to navigating SBA, I left #nomaworkspaces off to a refreshingly inspired good start. Next up, Exporting 101, by ISI Consultants at #DSLBD , where the basics of deciding whether you are ready and able to export a product or service internationally. Is your product viable? In demand? Translate culturally? etc. etc. etc. Continuing on into the evening brings us to free speaking series "Nerds in Noma" where the detailed development map was provided and the community interacted with #UnionMarket #REI #JBG #Perseus #Edens about the planned businesses, parking, pedestrian routes, bike paths, mixed-use bldgs, etc. (pictured above) Closing out at #WeWorkChinatown for "101 Ways to Do Business in Africa" themed discussion, with the authors, and a roundtable of African business owners. A great way to find other startups and key tools in financial, administrative, IT and communication areas of business, connecting the US and the Diaspora. All in all, a very informative day. Full of inspiration, resources, new acquaintances, and motivation. If you have an idea-don't sit on it. Connect with others who do what you want to do or in the field. When you meet somebody new, don't be afraid to ask questions or for anything you need. Just be ready and willing with something to offer in return. Think of ways to barter your personal and professional skillsets with others who have what you need. There is no jinxing and idea or getting beside yourself. Go after what you want, and then go after more. #EA
