Hi, I'm Ebony (and yes, my middle name is Ivory, after the song!)

Since a young age, I've had a knack for inventing and wanting to share my creations with the world.

I just turned 29 and over the last 11 years, I've been battling between feeling pressured to work a 9-5 and wanting time/space to work on my own thing (and on top of this had a significant lifelong autoimmune condition in which, over the last year, after facing a major wakeup call, I was diagnosed and have since gone into full recovery).

Currently I'm in a position where I do not need to chase the 9-5, and I have 7 days a week to work on it. My partner, who is also my partner in business, told me it seemed I was facing the desert of desertion, and despite having read 3 of MJ’s books, I somehow forgot about that concept. One Google search sent me here. And I just cannot look back and unsee it.

With a new, clean bill of health, I’m ready to embrace this journey without hesitation. I’m done letting time pass me by, and being paid 18 dollars for an hour of my life, only to watch years go by and nothing much has changed.

It’s nice to officially meet you, I’m Ebony. And I am a part of Observtics, a SaaS company that optimizes e-commerce pricing.

Cheers from Canada!
