After sharing the stories of 57 entrepreneurs across all walks of life through The Side Hustle Gal, The Bucketlist Babe, and Big Plan for the Creative Mind, I finally conceded that I need to share my story, too. This journey now continues with this book: One Honest Woman. ABUSED. BEATEN. WELL TRAVELED. WELL EDUCATED. Those four characteristics aren't often all held by the same person, some of them shouldn't have to be held by any person at all. But those four characteristics are the beginning of my story, both as a woman and as an entrepreneur. This isn't your typical business book. This isn't a toolkit to take you to the next level or a roadmap to your first six-figure month. This is a raw story of guts and courage and what it means to wake up one day and believe you'll come out on the other side. This is the story of getting knocked out again and again and continuing to fight anyway. This is a story of survival. I've made more mistakes than I can even count throughout my brief years on this planet. This book? It's an homage to those mistakes and a place where I'll relive them not only for my own healing, but for your growth as well. Follow along as I share the story that brought me to my future-a story of blood, sweat, and tears. This isn't a story for the faint of heart, and it might even make you cry. This is One Honest Woman.

After more than eight years as a part time entrepreneur, Dannie Fountain has experienced just about every success and failure in entrepreneurship, along with everything in between. She's worked professionally for companies like Whirlpool, H&R Block, and Mr. Kate as well as in an entrepreneurial capacity for large public school systems, tv and radio stations, and more. Fountain takes this experience as a modern-day entrepreneur to help others understand how to survive in the cutthroat world of entrepreneurship. The Side Hustle Gal is an awakening for anyone feeling less than worthy. The movement all started with this book. Part time entrepreneurship is hard and this book aims to save some time for amazing women like you by collecting entrepreneurial resources all in one place. The book features stories from entrepreneurs throughout various walks of life, coupled with Fountain's lessons on entrepreneurship, balancing work and play, and how to live the life you want. There's this perception that to be a "real" entrepreneur, you have to do it full time, but that simply isn't true. This book aims to highlight the unique struggles and triumphs of the Side Hustle Gal. Dannie Fountain is an entrepreneur and writer. She lives in Chicago, IL. This is her first book.

DEI isn't just a box to check.As a triple minority who passes for a straight white woman in corporate America, Dannie Lynn Fountain has seen too many companies pretend to care about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) only for its public relations outcomes. In Ending Checkbox Diversity, Fountain explores how the current structure of corporate DEI lends itself to the continued oppression of marginalized identities. She examines the narrow objectives and metrics that allow for shallow or no improvement and how shifting diversity responsibility to employee resource groups enables companies to disclaim responsibility for making meaningful progress. She looks at the impact of Zennials and Gen Zers, the most diverse generations ever, and breaks down precisely why some notable examples of poor DEI initiatives failed (and what should have been done differently). And she builds a road map for what real DEI looks like and how to avoid the performative allyship trope.
