  • “ "I enjoy contributing the to The Niche Movement because it challenges me to think more critically about the work I am doing every day and sharing out lessons learned (no matter how big or small) with others. The Niche Movement in and of itself is a testament to the power of storytelling and being willing to put your thoughts into words and hopefully make an impact on another person." ”
