HEY APW,
This week the APW staff and I figured out we rep all four Hogwarts houses. I’m a Slytherin (Ravenclaw cusp), if you’re wondering. Man, we Slytherins have such a bad rep, but we’re just intuitive, really down for the dark side (edgiest house, ha), and severely loyal.
But wait, I should mention: It’s MY BIRTHDAY. Right now. Today. And if the image above didn’t give you clue, I’ll be hanging out with some #bossbitch feminist entrepreneurs at the Bullish Conference starting tonight. Champagne, feminism, nerd-strategy, and a room full of possible new friends? I’m in extrovert heaven. They don’t call my birth week the “Week of Society” for nothing.
Oh, and if you want to follow along the conference adventures, creep the hashtag on Twitter.
And with that bit of all-important news…it’s your happy hour! Let’s do this!
CHEERS,
Najva
