One of my favourite bands is a Canadian group Three Days Grace - with Adam Gontier as lead vocalist.

I have followed this band from the start of their musical career and find that there is always one song on each album that fits my mindset or helps me get through some hard $hit going on in my life.

A few weeks ago, I was listening to my playlist and their song RIOT came on.

As I began singing out loud in the car, for some reason, this time, I really honed in on the lyrics. Once the song was over, I played it again and listened to each lyric, line by line.

And something just clicked!

This world is a little messy right now.

This is creating some fear and concern for a lot of business owners.

Plus, as a women entrepreneur, I’m watching the state of the world and actions happening to the south.

But what do we do — we push forward. We persevere. We try new things. We meet new people. We ask for help (right?!).

So, I decided to create an opportunity for us to come together and start a RIOT of our own.

Where we can be ourselves and be business owners.

Where we can come together collectively to support each other.

So, I’d like to personally invite you to my first RIOT event.

This month’s theme is Smash Some $hit because I know there's a lot of pressure and stress on business owners right now.

Join me and fellow entrepreneurs to socialize, reconnect and smash our stress away … even if it’s for a few hours.

You are not meant to do this alone!

It's time to STOP carrying it all
and let it OUT!!!

RIOT Lyrics
by Three Days Grace

If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off, so stepped on
You're not the only one refusing to back down
You're not the only one, so get up

Let's start a riot
A riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot
A riot
Let's start a riot

If you feel so filthy
So dirty, so fucked up
If you feel so walked on
So painful, so pissed off
You're not the only one
Refusing to go down
You're not the only one, so get up

Let's start a riot
A riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot
A riot
Let's start a riot

If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
Just get up

Let's start a riot
A riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot
A riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot
A riot

Let's start a riot
A riot
Let's start a riot
A riot
Let's start a riot

Let's start a riot
A riot
Let's start a riot
