I get so excited about sharing inspiring stories with you!
This month of Mother’s Day (May!) I have a really lovely one. “Becoming Girlilla” by Jennie Smythe, Founder and CEO of Girlilla Marketing, mother and breast cancer warrior.
Like all success stories, it’s full of failures - which we like to call “set backs” because it sounds less painful. But Jennie has known the pain of uncertainty, the loss of her estranged father, she valiently fought breast cancer, and stood her ground in an industry that can easily knock you over.
Becoming Girlilla highlights how resilience, authenticity, and passion can make a meaningful impact both online and in real life as Jennie candidly shares her path to success, full of sometimes surprising and oftentimes laugh-out-loud moments. Along the way, she’s navigated an industry that often underestimated her, fought through personal and professional hurdles, and rose to the top of her field.
A digital marketing trailblazer, Jennie’s memoir—Becoming Girlilla—is the unfiltered, inspiring story of her rise from unlikely beginnings to digital marketing powerhouse. Her experiences at Elektra, Disney’s Hollywood Records, YAHOO! Music, Warner Bros. Records, Clear Channel and more led her to launch her own Nashville-based firm, Girlilla Marketing, following a deathbed conversation with her estranged father.
Becoming Girlilla isn’t just about one woman’s resilience—it’s a call to embrace change, unleash potential, and make a positive impact in the world.
Order “Becoming Girlilla: My Journey to Unleashing Good - in Real Life, Online, and in Others” for someone who could use a little inspiration in their life - maybe that’s YOU!
