Happy Administrative Professionals Day!

Today I salute all of the rock star admins, OBMs and VA's that keep the businesses they work with, large and small, operating effectively and efficiently. I know that sometimes it seems like a thankless job and your work may go unnoticed and be under appreciated. Know that you are seen and celebrated!

Today is YOUR day! 🎉

Tag your admins, VAs and OBMs to show them some love so we can celebrate them!

Happy Valentine’s Day to our incredible EBS community 💙

Today, we’re celebrating you — the visionaries, the builders, the collaborators, the behind-the-scenes problem solvers. Our clients who trust us with your dreams. Our vendors who show up with excellence. Our strategic partners who believe in the mission and help us expand the impact.

Business is built on relationships. And we don’t take it lightly that you’ve chosen to build with us.

May today remind you that the work you do — the art you create, the experiences you produce, the systems you strengthen — is rooted in passion. And passion is love in action.

Here’s to continued collaboration, bold ideas, and building profitable, sustainable legacies together.

With appreciation,
EBS 💐

Reposted from “As we commemorate my father’s 97th birthday, The King Center’s 2026 King Holiday Observance theme is ‘Mission Possible 2: Building Community, Uniting A Nation - the Nonviolent Way.’

Among the seminal Kingian teachings that will galvanize us in completing this mission is that humanity is interdependent, interrelated, and interconnected.

In 2026, embracing Dr. King’s teachings on the World House calls us to move beyond rhetoric and into courageous practice. It asks us to choose cooperation over domination, community over isolation, and moral imagination over fear. It requires that we reject racism, militarism, and excessive materialism (poverty), not only as social evils, but as barriers to our shared survival.” (CEO of The King Center)

Kujichagulia - To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves.

Happy Kwanzaa!

Today's principle is Umoja (Unity)! To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
