Today my sister Dalin Amber O’Connell would have been 42 years old.
She passed away unexpectedly in November of 2023.
She shouldn’t have died so young.
Her sudden passing serves as a reminder of the fragility of dreams and the relentless spirit required to nurture them

The day is a shining example of "the #AmericanDream".
A day where a 1st generation college graduate raised on public aid can have a seat at the table with our Nation's Leaders.

So many incredible business leaders were in DC this week and I was fortunate to spend time with many of them.
Special note of thank you to @PaddyO_Dreezy @amysiskind and @KateBalcerzak – at Washington, DC
Concluding an already incredible day, I was also invited to join the evening's #Pride celebration at the White House South Lawn.
#Pride2024 – at Washington, DC
In what felt like a dream, I had the incredible opportunity to share time with Dr. Jill Biden, Ashley Biden, Pete Buttigieg, and many other advocates, leaders, and allies.
I even got to see an adorable proposal! #twitter help me find out who they are so I can send pics! – at Washington, DC
Our collaborative efforts underscore a commitment to incremental but imperative steps towards change. – at Washington, DC
This week I had the honor of joining a delegation of business leaders for a roundtable at @WhiteHouse , focusing on expanding economic opportunities and investments in historically underfunded entrepreneurs. – at Washington, DC
We shared tangible examples for an actionable path forward: fair funding access, visibility, safety, & security – at Washington, DC
We shared how the unique perspectives and experiences within marginalized communities are invaluable assets that, when adequately funded, can lead to groundbreaking business solutions, driving forward both social and economic progress. – at Washington, DC
Our delegation presented data-driven examples about how the gap represents not just a shortfall in equity but a substantial missed opportunity for American innovation, diversity of thought, and economic growth. – at Washington, DC
Did you know that approximately 93% of venture assets are managed by white men and unsurprisingly that results in less than 2% of annual allocations being invested in women & LGBTQ+ founders? – at Washington, DC
The Biden-Harris Administration is the most inclusive in history! And, rather than resting on what they have already accomplished, they prioritized learning more about a critical yet often overlooked issue—the venture capital funding gap
#POTUS #KamalaHarris #Biden2024 – at Washington, DC
Our dialogue with esteemed leaders from the administration, @CommerceGov ,
@USTreasury , and @WhiteHouseCEA is a milestone. – at Washington, DC
