There is something really special about a TEDx speaker who comes back as a sponsor. 💜

Nia Luckey stood on our stage and shared her story. Then she returned as a sponsor through the Charlotte chapter of the Information Systems Security Association. Nia is a cybersecurity expert, keynote speaker, and author who has spent her career making the digital world safer and more accessible for women.

Sarah Olin did the same. She spoke on our stage and then came back as a sponsor through LUMO Leadership , the organization she co-founded to help companies actually support their working parents and caregivers. Because Sarah knows when women thrive at work, everyone wins.

Mariah Prince Allen spoke on our stage and then came back as a sponsor through Telehealth For HER, her boutique virtual wellness practice helping high-achieving women navigate perimenopause and beyond with care that actually sees them.

Jess Ekstrom spoke on our stage and came back as a sponsor through Mic Drop Workshop, the platform she built to help women tell and sell their story as paid public speakers. Because Jess knows the world needs more women on stages.

And Seven Willows Social Media Agency, Corey Hurley not only spoke on our stage but came back and helped implement our social media strategy pre-event and helped us share the recap after. You have literally been seeing her work this whole time!

One of our coaches Tara LaFon Gooch has a saying... Reciprocity builds legacy. These speakers aren't just making history. They are leaving a legacy. This is the power of our community. We are so grateful. 🥹

To and Jolaine, thank you. 💜

Blueprint 4 Good is a strategic operations and leadership consulting practice for mission-driven organizations. Jolaine's work is about helping nonprofits and social-impact leaders build the internal backbone to match their ambition, turning fragmentation into alignment, overwhelm into clarity, and stalled progress into real momentum.

That kind of work is exactly what TEDx Sugar Creek Women is built on. We are so grateful to have her in our corner.

There is a reason why TEDx Sugar Creek Women succeeds the way it does… The hands that step in before anyone even realizes something is needed.

Good hair, great makeup, and a whole lot of magic behind the scenes.

Before our speakers stepped onto the TEDx Sugar Creek Women stage, this incredible beauty team helped them feel polished, confident, and ready for the moment.

A huge thank you to:
Jessica McClain ( ) — Hair
Emma Dixon Desmond ( ) — Hair
Rose Plesz ( ) — Makeup
Sheena Steele ( ) — Hair

And a very special shoutout to Rose, who volunteered last year all on her own as the only makeup artist for every TEDx speaker. That kind of generosity, talent, and heart does not go unnoticed.

Thank you all for bringing your gifts, your energy, and your care to this experience. You helped our speakers walk on stage feeling like themselves at their very best.

Some people are the reason things run smoothly… and some people are the reason things run at all.

Terese Schoen ( ), Director of Operations, has been at the center of making TEDx Sugar Creek Women happen from start to finish.

The logistics, the timelines, the moving pieces, the things no one ever sees but everyone feels… she has been holding it all with precision, care, and consistency.

It takes a certain kind of leadership to manage operations at this level. Calm under pressure. Thoughtful in ex*****on. Always ten steps ahead.

Terese, your work created the foundation for everything else to exist.

We are so grateful for you.
