What would life look like if you weren't alone on your creative journey?
How would your business change if you had a supportive community cheering you on every step of the way?
Especially if your current support network doesn't know or have the skills to support you and your vision.
You start with excitement, sharing your plans with family and friends, but you soon hit roadblocks. You hit mindset struggles, a lack of resources or time, no one to brainstorm with, and it leaves you feeling stuck and by yourself.
The creative journey can often feel like a solitary one.
But you're not alone.
I didn’t have the resources, direction, or community I needed in order to build a vibrant and successful business.
But now, almost a decade later, I’ve created the space where diverse creatives who don’t want to lose sight of their authenticity while growing heart-centered businesses can come together.
I know this from personal experience. When I started my entrepreneurial journey nine years ago, I struggled to find my footing.
Bloom: The Creative Membership offers a unique solution to the challenges that historically marginalized creatives face and provides you with a supportive community that understands and shares your journey.
As a Bloom member, you’ll have access to a network of like-minded individuals who are dedicated to helping you succeed in your creative endeavours. With our community, you’ll never walk alone on your journey. You’ll have the support, guidance, and resources to grow a business that honours your creative energy and unique story.
Bloom was built on the ethos that every creative, regardless of their background, deserves a safe and inclusive space to belong to.
Our framework is built on three main principles: identity, connection, and visibility.
Bloom is for:
Women, people of colour, the 2SLGBTQIA+ Community, Disabled, Non-binary folks, and other historically excluded groups
Creative entrepreneurs who want to break generational patterns and work from a safe place that honours their creative energy
Folks who believe that their creative gifts have the power to change their lives and want to take the next step in a supportive community
What you get when you join
An Inclusive & Diverse online community
Growing your creative business is like a marathon, and just like a real marathon, you're never running alone. I believe that building a successful creative business doesn't have to be a lonely journey.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to scale your business, connecting with a supportive community filled with like-minded creatives can be an essential resource.
The Bloom community is where you can share your challenges and wins, ask for feedback and support, and learn from others who have been there before.
In the Bloom community, you'll have access to our exclusive members-only Facebook group where you can connect with other creatives every day. Additionally, you can tap into our member directory to find your next business partner, hire, podcast guest, and more.
Business & Life education built specifically for historically marginalized Creatives
At Bloom, we believe that growing your creative business shouldn't mean sacrificing your values or sense of self. That's why we've created a heart-centered framework to guide our members in both business and life.
Each month, we focus on a new theme and provide education and resources to help you grow in a way that feels aligned with your purpose and passions.
Whether you're looking to level up your marketing skills or develop a daily self-care practice, Bloom has got you covered. We can't wait to see you bloom and thrive in our supportive community!
monthly online networking events & workshops (coming soon)
One thing I love most is bringing people together! That's why at Bloom we host monthly online networking events for our members to connect and collaborate in real-time. These events are a chance for you to get to know your fellow Bloom members, make new friends, and potentially find your next business partner or collaborator.
We also plan to host workshops in the future where we bring in different creative entrepreneurs as guest speakers to teach masterclasses on a variety of topics related to business, creativity, and personal growth.
THE BLOOM Framework
IDENTITY
Every creative has a unique story and experiences that shapes who they are and what they bring to the table. We believe that to light up the world, we must lean into our values and authenticity. Our approach takes time to re-examine not only your business identity, but your personal one as well in order to show up as your highest self.
CONNECTION
Creating genuine relationships and growing a strong support system for you and your business is key to your success. The creative journey can be lonely at times, and having a community to rely on can make all the difference in your personal and professional growth.
VISIBILITY
The more visible you become, the more it magnifies who you truly are. Wouldn't it be nice to show up for your business in a way that's always true to your character AND it's fun?
So you might be thinking, WHAT DOES business and life education specifically for historically marginalized creatives LOOK LIKE?

Pam creates a beautiful community space that helps cultivate connections to naturally bloom and blossom! Insightful questions that invite reflections and sharing with community, as well as supportive space!
Pam was gentle and supportive while facilitating our group. She also offered practical advice and consistently sought to gain group buy in along the way. So grateful for her leadership.

3 years ago I was invited to speak to a group of refugee and immigrant girls and women and I had this whole list of notes that I ended up throwing away at the last minute. Because in briefly hearing their stories and what they were grateful for, I wanted to let them know I would always cheer them on.
I shared with them that there are so many paths to success and that if their souls were called to work in the creative field, I would bust down every door for them that I could.
Because when I started my creative entrepreneurial journey 9 years ago, there were no creative leaders who looked like me or who had a similar background who could open to the doors for me.
It was so freaking hard some days to not only figure out how to run a business with no business background, but how to deal with the intersections of my life as a woman, person of colour, second generation kid, creative, and someone who carries a lot of trauma.
But now after almost a decade of running a successful business and healing, it's my turn to open the doors for other historically marginalized creatives.
I'm here because I believe it's time to shake up and redistribute wealth and power in the creative industry.
I'm here to do it by creating a platform — this space, this community, for you to be seen and heard, because I know what it's like to not be seen and heard.
And I'm here to invite you into Bloom: The Creative Membership.
I hope you'll join me and many other amazing creatives in supporting each other as we walk the path of living a beautiful and full creative life.
