Thank you for hanging out with us all season! From a crazy idea hatched in the middle of the night (note to self: ice cream and tequila before bed makes for some crazy ass business ideas) to nine awesome episodes, featuring five amazing women, thank you so much for being a part of the Janie's Daughters family these last couple months. I can only hope the experience was as transformative for you as it was for myself and all of our awesome JDs. Want Season Two? Wanna see a Season Two of Janie's Daughters? Leave a comment below or shoot me an email at lc@coloredgirlconfidential.com and let me know. Right now I'm on the fence but leaning towards "yes" - help me get there! Lol
