text: Last month I decided to join her Insta-retreat 6 week course on Instagram. What I've realized, recently, is that sometimes it takes such a long time to figure out things by yourself, especially on social media, as trends and people behavior change so fast, that I rather get help from an expert and save time. This way I can concentrate on other parts of the business, like making and blogging!
  Her first book opened my eyes to natural dye, which is one of the crafts I love the most. It also happened that we lived near by when I was in London and we meet up few times. What I love about Rebecca is her passion, integrity and amazing talent in everything she does. She published her own book and now she is just published her second issue of the own independent magazine as well as continuing experimenting with natural dye. She has two children, the second one is only 4 months old! To me Rebecca is an inspiration as a woman and as a maker. Every time I look at her work, I remind myself that even with children, sleep deprivation and limited time, you can make your dream come true. You need to persevere and believe in yourself.
  I joint the CYL community in January 2017 and it was the best thing I did as a start-up business. I knew my ultimate goal was to become a business and CYL gave me the tools to set measurable goals for TWOME, be part of a very supportive community and the opportunity to tell my story on their blog. I've always been scared of writing, since English is not my first language, but Grace and the ladies gave me the confidence to take the leap and talk about myself and my creative journey. I also met some incredibly talented women that I now consider IG friends which I hope to meet in person, one day. Being part of a supportive community, is definitely one of the keys to gain support when you start a business by yourself.
