Meet NFBPWC/North Carolina member, Jessica Bryan!

HER NEWS! 

I just released my 35th book on Amazon! Calamity Central can be ordered online at Amazon. It is a humorous look at life's little ups and downs. Those of you who have ever experienced family life, chaos, embarrassing moments, upsets, getting a new puppy, dealing with teenagers, balancing work and play, and dealing with life's dramas (that's pretty much everyone!) will relate to many of the stories I share. Each chapter is a story or stories that will make you smile and nod your head if not laugh out loud.

I am also about to step into the role of President of our local Association of REALTORS for 2021. It is my second time holding that office. 

How can we celebrate with you?
I began writing in a variety of genres spanning fiction and non-fiction, from self-help to humor, from action-adventure to supernatural, from mystery to memoirs, and from children's books to adults, as a way to take a break from my professional life as a REALTOR. Click here to check out all of my books on Amazon!

How can BPW and its members help you on your career path? 
I am happy to help however I can and love working with referrals. So if you know anyone looking to buy or sell anywhere in the United States, I have an extensive referral network and remain actively involved both vetting a local real estate agent, advising, and connecting to ensure that the buying or selling experience is a positive one for you, your family and friends.

Meet NFBPWC/Colorado member, Laurie Dameron!

HER NEWS!

I have been appointed Chair BPW/Colorado Environment and Sustainable Development Committee and I'm much more positive than I used to be. There are SO many "helpers" as Mr. Rogers calls them, out there! I have been working harder than ever and plan to continue to work harder than ever in 2021!

I also haven't given up on being a professional women even though the music business is one of the hardest, if not the hardest, business to have success.

COVID has been really, a blessing in disguise. I lost my day job of 30 years entertaining seniors at "nursing homes." I was spending 80% of my time M-F marketing myself, calling and emailing to set up all of those gigs! Now I am spending time tending to my creative endeavors, writing new songs. I hope to have two new CD's out in the next year to add to my three CD's from the past. 

Q: How can BPW and its members help you on your career path?

You can help by buying my music and streaming just about anywhere there is streaming; Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music. (Musicians earn ~ .004 cents per stream so 100,000 streams might amount to $400...so we need millions of streams to make any decent money.)

And, recommend my Spaceship Earth: What Can I Do? to schools and nonprofit organizations! It's a 30-60 minute powerful multimedia presentation that engages through the use of art, photography, film and live music. This fun and interactive program offers ways to be better stewards of our beautiful planet Earth and create sustainable and healthy communities.
