The sense of community formed by being part of a group of like-minded individuals is impactful. Communities inspire unity, support, comfort, and advisement – a space rich in resources that everyone can benefit from. Being active in a community can bring inspiration, aid in success, and provide strong navigation. Bringing like-minded people together to achieve goals has been important to me for many years – within the industry and outside of it.
My husband, Jeremy, and I owned a small martial arts school in our hometown for almost a decade. During that time, many students came into our lives as they advanced through the various levels of the class. Although some were only involved for a short period of time, most students found our school to be their second home and felt a great sense of community among the other students.
When I had my second son, we made the difficult, bittersweet decision to close the school. When we announced the news to the parents and students, many were understandably upset. Through years of camaraderie between one another, children had grown and learned alongside their peers, cheering them on through their successes and supporting them during defeats. We had all built a feeling of fellowship in the school – something that is still true, even after the business is no more.
This feeling of community is what we have worked to provide in DERMASCOPE.com – a space to spark meaningful relationships that inspire growth, passion, and an open exchange of knowledge and support.
