Reflecting on The Shield's Launch and What's Next

The Shield officially launched on February 8th and I think it was a wild success! You can watch a short video of the in person event here. I had my launch party at The Dusty Shelf in Enumclaw, WA and it was everything I'd ever dreamed of. I'm so grateful for everyone that came to support me and for those who helped me make my dream a reality.
