Any business that has been in existence for 100 years is DEFINITELY worth celebrating!! ✨️

We had the pleasure of coming alongside EMH&T for its employee Centennial Celebration earlier this month. We helped transform their parking lot into a carnival, complete with games and activities, sweets, roaming performers, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium animals, pony rides and more! 🎪🎡🍬🎠

We had the best time working with the EMH&T team to help make their vision come to life. Thank you Melinda Payne Events for adding all the beautiful decor touches. Thank you Super Games for your support throughout the rainy set up - your team was phenomenal! Metro Cuisine provided the delicious food and were so hospitable.

To Sandy Doyle-Ahern, and the dream team Jessica McGinniss, Mackenzie Smith, and Lee Ruh, congratulations on such a milestone celebration. It was truly an honor to be an extension of your team and be a part of the magic!

As a planner, I get wayyy too comfortable being in the background or on the sidelines. Last night, it was my time to shine! ✨️✨️✨️

In the midst of coming alongside The Women's Center For Economic Opportunity for its Aspire! Women's BIG Book of Business Launch - where several women entrepreneurs and their allies were honored - I can say that being "in the book" as an A-Lister is truly an honor. ☺️

The energy in the room was so powerful and encouraging!! Emcees Lachandra Baker and Ana Assis were outstanding. 🎤 Music by DJ Pastel was on point. 🎶 Food by Catered by Chaniece and drinks by Bad Ass Mobile Bartending was superb. 🍡🍷The decor provided by Brick Studio was beautiful. 🎈 And Victoria's Secret provided the perfect backdrop for such a memorable evening. 🩷

Thank you Paraclete Team and our volunteers for all your hard work - it could not happen without you!! To the Aspire Production Team....Keena Smith (I value your mentorship more than you know!), Ana Assis, Victoria Murray, Shemma LaRosa, and Sam Solis...your vision and long hours of prepping is creating a movement right before our eyes. 🤩

Until next year, let's and walk into our with confidence and boldness. !

Collective Harvest in action! ✨️✨️✨️
Earlier this month we had the pleasure of coming alongside Zora's House for its Jump at the Sun Society Brunch. We love when we are able to transform the space into a beautiful garden party vibe. 💛🌿

This year's guest speaker was the dynamic Lulete Mola from MN. She added so much value to the conversation around owning our power and how collectively we can create our own harvest. To LC and the ZH Team, we see you and we see the impact and progress being made. Keep going!!! ☀️

Thank you you Chef D and your amazing team at In Joy Meals for serving everyone. Shout out to my team for making the event go smoothly!! We are grateful to be able to witness history in the making. Remember, we are as great as the Nile, so let's embrace our power! 💪🏽🏞

Rooted in Culture. 💪🏽 Growing in Community Together. 💚 The 5th Annual Plant the Power VegFest was an amazing success! It was our pleasure to come alongside Ivory Levert, Tifani Kendrick, Khamall Jahi, Baederi Wise, and the entire planning team to help execute during this milestone year. The Community Garden Campus at the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens was a beautiful setting and the team there was nothing short of amazing. ✨️

I had an incredible time serving as volunteer manager and operations/logistics support. The day was a perfect blend of community, culture, and care on so many levels. The highlight for me was seeing Renee Dion perform! 🎶 All the vendors, education sessions, wellness sessions and activities were wonderful.

Kudos Ivory for creating such a meaningful gathering for the community. 😌

We were so grateful to be part of the team, providing event planning support, backstage management, and registration staffing. We were just one piece of a well-oiled machine. Thank you Chair Kathleen Clyde for trusting us to help execute. Thank you Lauren Durham, Cade Leebron, Tyler Phillips, Jeremy Blake and the entire team for making us feel part of the crew.
