How to Build Community Around Your Brand with Cassandre Dunbar

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Cassandra Dunbar, a mom of two spirited boys, wife, doctor and educator. Years of ‘doing it all’ finally culminated in severe burnout following the traumatic birth of her now 2-year-old son.

Now Cassandra is passionate about self-care practices for black millennial women, especially moms who’ve been socialized to be self-sacrificing since birth. Cassandra is the host of the Be Well, Sis podcast, a wellness podcast dedicated to providing resources and candid conversations that empower black millennial women to be their best selves. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

I was in the beginning stages of developing my jewelry line and needed professional guidance in all aspects of launching an online business. Jacinta was able to help navigate my concepts and flesh out my ideas more fully. She has an almost inexplicable intuition which pairs with your ideas and creativity to bring forth the true essence of your work. Her team was organized, professional and delivered exceptional work as promised. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to work with her. My brand is considerably further along as a result of working with Jacinta!

Jacinta’s website, branding, and design work helps me stand out in a competitive niche. Jacinta and her team created a beautiful and professional site, with an amazing user experience. I had several integration goals for my website, and Jacinta helped me bring each and every one to life! 

"The feedback for my site has been amazing! And I’ve already booked some consults and have a few people on my waitlist!"

— Kim B.

Jacinta and her team went above and beyond my expectations of what was once just a small vision to document my personal finance journey. The Social Circle completely took my vision to a whole other level! Having a professional website has given me the confidence I didn't know I needed to showcase my talents so that I could easily apply for small business grants with confidence and successfully meet the requirements of affiliate marketing partnerships. They truly took everything I asked for and gave me 10x more. Thank you Social Circle!

"Thank you Social Circle. You not only have a happy customer, but a returning customer at that!"

— Shonnita L.

I can't thank Jacinta and team enough for their support! I'm so pleased with the look of the site and its updated functionality. I've gotten so much positive feedback on the new branding, ease of use, and customer experience. Their patience, attention to detail and willingness to collaborate made this a wonderful experience. Social Circle made what could have been a very stressful process frictionless and fun!

I can't even begin to count the number of compliments I've gotten on my website, and it's only been a few weeks since we've launched! Jacinta and her team were able to capture my full essence. It's professional without being stiff while simultaneously capturing my personality throughout. She was easy to work with and also taught me a ton about managing my website throughout the process. I am set up for success!

"Jacinta and her team were able to capture my full essence."

I am so grateful that I found Jacinta and the Social Circle team. Jacinta is extremely patient and knowledgeable. She made the process simple and easy for me as she amplified my vision for my brand. I appreciate the professionalism of the entire team. The response time is amazing which definitely helped in those moments when I started to feel nervous. I love my bold and sexy brand colors and my elegant and classy website! I couldn't be more pleased.
