Jenny Poon

I’m Jenny Poon. I’m the founder of CO+HOOTS, a coworking/incubator space, based in Phoenix, Arizona.

Before this all happened, I would tell my husband I wish that I had one more day where the entire world would stop and I could just catch up.

We had a very tumultuous relationship, my mother and I. We’re both stubborn, and there’s a lot there to unpack with her.

I still am figuring it out every day. And it takes failure to figure it out.

I’ve had several times when I have felt dismissed or overlooked, but I’ve also learned what it means to be heard and supported.

There’s a mental safe space that we have to create — and the physical space that we operate in.

I challenge the entrepreneurs of tomorrow to remember that your experience will guide the solutions. Your lived experiences are vital and valuable.
