Wow, I’ve Really Come a Long Way! 🚀💫
As a girl who grew up in and out of juvenile hall, I was one of 12 who boldly stood up against Wackenhut Private Prisons for the abuses happening in their youth facilities. That fight, nearly two decades ago, could have easily sent me down a dark path, like so many others who were abused. Instead, I chose a different path—one of courage, resilience, and a deep commitment to making the world a better place.
Today, I’m proud to introduce our pitch deck for the Haunted Texas Theme Park—a $1.39 billion project near Austin that blends history, sustainability, and cutting-edge AR/VR technology. This isn’t just another theme park; it’s a beacon of hope, a testament to the power of perseverance, and a platform for creating positive change. 🌍🎢
Reflecting on this journey, I realize how easily I could have become the villain in my own story. But instead, I’ve chosen to be the hero. Every day, I fight to build something that will transform lives and uplift communities. My path has been filled with challenges—I’m tired, I’m weary, but there’s a strength in me that keeps my faith glowing. Perhaps it’s the ghost of Sara Marie Lowe, a young girl whose spirit continues to inspire me to keep going, to keep building, and to keep believing. 🌟

I hope that venture capital firms, banks, investors, and leaders at the governor’s office see the potential in what we’re creating and understand that this isn’t just a project—it’s a mission. We’re holding on to hope, working tirelessly to create something better in this world.

I build relationships for a living. Ask me anything.

Happy Limerick Day!
Today, we're celebrating the whimsical and witty art of limericks! From playful rhymes to clever wordplay, limericks have a unique charm that never fails to bring a smile.
At Gravis, we're joining in the fun by crafting our own limericks to mark the occasion:
"There once was a specialist investor,
Whose clients were infrastructure debtors.
Its investments steadily earned,
And reliable income was returned.
All the while making our environment better
In property and infrastructure, we're adept,
Private credit, our expertise kept.
With reliable income steadily growing,
Innovation and progress, ever-flowing.
This is our future concept."

Yesterday, we held our 21st meeting of Pickens United since 2016. It is an extremely uncommon setting wherein every elected official in Pickens County is invited to communicate with one another. I don’t know of any other county that does this … and we have great attendance.
What struck me again yesterday is how fleeting our time is.
I mentally noted that other than the clerk of court elected in 2008, none of us would’ve been in that meeting 10 years ago. I said the uncomfortable truth out loud with, “nobody in this room will be here in 10 years. What we do now is for others in the future.”
Related to how fleeting our time is is the fact that what we’re doing is primarily setting our successors up in a good or bad way. Do we change local government? Do we put a moratorium in place? Do we invest in roads or parks? Do we invest in land now instead of being forced to pay higher in future? (All things mentioned yesterday.)
We’re not all going to agree, which is why the real-life version of playing SimCity is immensely more complex & it’s all the more reason to communicate.
In one sense California Forever seems like science fiction. In another, with the rising numbers of the uber-wealthy, it seems very real and possible. If you were to design it, what would it look like? How would you minimize the effect on those already in Solano County? Better yet, how would you improve living conditions and overall society for those current residents and those nearby? How would you emphasize long and short term social goals? How would you plan for them? How would you design it to account for changes in society a century out that we can’t expect today? One gets the sense that many of these things aren’t on the table for those planning CF. They seem to want to plan it for their own convenience and will discard it like a toy they’ve outgrown once they are done. In any case, lots to ponder in the thought of designing your own real life city.

As Greater Seattle Partners launches our second annual SelectUSA Spin-off this week in King County, WAPierce County, and Snohomish County, WA it’s good see companies attracted to the region from last year’s SelectUSA Spin-off like CHARGEPOLY grow in the region.
As an Economic Developer, concrete outcomes growing jobs and investment is the target. Economic opportunity is the foundation for making life better for all in a region.
Last week Chargepoly CEO Laurent GUYON and Chris KangPerkins Coie LLP joined the global conversation with an EV company from #Taiwan visiting the #Seattle region. It’s excellent to see a recently-landed company like Chargepoly “pay it forward” by sharing insights with others in industry as GSP seeks to further cultivate the ecosystem through attraction.
Big news from Chargepoly out just today. Another company here doing right by the region and globe thriving and expanding:
