Y'all, your girl was recently named a 2025 WBE Rising Star Award Winner by Women's Business Enterprise Council Ohio River Valley and I am OVERWHELMED with gratitude! 😭✨

This award isn't just mine - it belongs to every woman who believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. To my family, my team, my clients, and this amazing community that has supported Distinct Event Planning from day one - THANK YOU for lifting me while I climb! 🙌

WBECORV, you've given me more than an award - you've given me validation that the work we're doing matters, that our vision is seen, and that there's a place at the table for women like us who dare to dream BIG! 👑

Being called "one to watch" has me emotional because it means someone sees the fire in my belly, the passion in my purpose, and the love I pour into everything I do! This is just the beginning - we're about to make some SERIOUS moves! 🔥

To every woman reading this: If I can go from dreaming to being recognized as a Rising Star, so can YOU! Keep climbing, keep lifting others, and keep believing in the magic you bring to this world! ✨

Thank you for this incredible honor - I promise to wear this crown with purpose and keep rising! 💪

You have no idea, do you? 👀

You have no idea that Jasmine from accounting waits for you to speak up in meetings because your voice gives her courage to share her ideas too. 💪

You have no idea that when you chose to leave that toxic job last year, three other women quietly started updating their resumes, thinking "If she can do it, maybe I can too." ✨

You have no idea that your coworker takes the long way to her desk just to pass by yours, hoping to catch your smile on her hardest days. 😊

You have no idea that when you casually mention "I'll keep you in my prayers," someone's heart just exhaled with relief because they've been too afraid to ask for that very thing. 🙏

You think you're barely holding it together, but sister... 💭

You're someone's lighthouse in the storm. 🏮 You're someone's proof that it's possible. You're someone's reminder that they're not alone.

That strength you think you're faking? It's real. And it's changing lives in ways you'll never even know. 🌟
Your courage is contagious. Your resilience is inspiring. Your light is needed. ✨

Who's been YOUR lighthouse? Tag them below and let them know! 💡👇

We're officially in PRINT and we're bursting with pride! 🌊

Just received our copy of the Catch The Wave 2025 Conference Magazine and seeing our name on multiple pages has us doing happy dances in the office! ✨

We absolutely DOMINATED these pages:
📖 Platinum Sponsor (Page 10) - Honored to have supported this incredible conference that empowers women-owned businesses!
https://www.wbecorv.org/flipbook/?page=10

📖 Planning Committee (Page 22) - So proud to have been part of the team that made this magic happen!
https://www.wbecorv.org/flipbook/?page=22

📖 Our Full-Page Ad (Page 36) - Our moment to shine and showcase what Distinct Event Planning is all about!

📖 Lucretia Williams, Pitch Participant (Page 44) - Our CEO represented us beautifully in the pitch competition!
https://www.wbecorv.org/flipbook/?page=44

From sponsoring to planning to pitching - we showed up and showed OUT! This magazine is proof that when you pour your heart into supporting women in business, the recognition comes full circle! 💪

Four pages. One magazine. Infinite gratitude. Being featured this extensively isn't just business validation - it's a testament to what happens when you genuinely invest in lifting other women up. We didn't just attend this conference; we helped create it, funded it, and pitched our hearts out at it!

Still buzzing from the incredible success of the VS&Co Power of Partnership Supplier Connect event that we brought to life from concept to completion! When Victoria's Secret & Co. came to us with their vision to create meaningful connections between their procurement leaders and diverse suppliers, we knew we had to deliver something special! ✨

THE CHALLENGE: How do you create genuine networking opportunities that lead to actual business partnerships, not just surface-level conversations? How do you design an event that truly advances economic empowerment while honoring VS&Co's commitment to supplier diversity?

OUR SOLUTIONS IN ACTION:
🔗 Strategic Networking Design - We solved the "networking chaos" by creating structured matchmaking sessions that connected the right suppliers with the right decision-makers!
📖 Passport-Style Business Connections Booklet - Designed an innovative interactive booklet that guided attendees through meaningful connections, with local organizations who provide tools and resources for diverse small-business owners, stamping participants' "passports" upon completing their business discussions!

THE RESULT? An event that perfectly embodied VS&Co's vision to increase diverse supplier relationships and drive economic growth within minority-owned businesses. We didn't just plan a conference - we orchestrated a platform for economic empowerment! 💪

This is what happens when passionate event planning meets purpose-driven business goals. We're beyond proud to have contributed to VS&Co's transformative supplier diversity journey!

Thank you Chanel N Lee for this amazing opportunity to partner with you and Glen Ford, again! Your commitment to uplift, encourage, inspire and to create opportunities for diverse suppliers is UNMATCHED!

CONSERVATION NONPROFITS: Your mission is saving species from extinction 🦏

So why are you becoming extinct experts in... event coordination?

Your calling: 'Inspiring conservation of endangered wildlife and protecting biodiversity'

Your current reality: Researching photographers instead of tracking migration patterns. Negotiating with florists instead of habitat restoration. Managing RSVPs instead of managing ecosystems.
Over the past 20 years, the number of nonprofit organizations has increased at a rate of 1.4% annually, making it increasingly difficult for any particular nonprofit to attract donor attention. Your conservation work is more critical than ever—but amateur events won't inspire the major gifts needed for species protection.

Professional conservation events communicate:
✨ Scientific credibility and organizational maturity
✨ Stewardship worthy of major environmental investments
✨ Vision that matches the scale of the crisis
✨ Impact that inspires transformational giving

Your wildlife research is world-class. Your events should be too.

Once an awardee, always part of the family - and this family reunion is about to be EPIC! 🌟

Last year, I had the incredible honor of being an Entrepreneur Awardee at Smart Woman Summit hosted by Smart Meetings, and the energy was absolutely life-changing! This year, I'm returning to reconnect with this powerhouse community of unstoppable women who are rewriting the rules of business and leadership! ✨

September 11-12, 2025 in Tampa, FL - I'll be back in THE room where alliances are formed, problems are solved, and futures are MADE! From career-boosting speakers to the epic gala dinner, this summit is where QUEENS gather to rise together! 👑

To my fellow boss ladies - this is our space! Who else is ready to champion their career and join this incredible community of leaders?

Drop a 🙋‍♀️ if you're joining me - let's connect!

Dear God, 🙏

Lord, thank You for loving me through every messy, imperfect moment. For seeing my heart when others saw my mistakes. For catching my dreams when I was too exhausted to hold them. For whispering "keep going" when my own voice said "give up." 💕

To anyone reading this who feels like they're drowning – your story is still being written. That prayer you've been praying? He's not ignoring you. Sometimes His love looks like protection from what we think we want, and provision for what we actually need. 📖

Your pain isn't punishment – it's preparation. Every tear you've cried has been watering the ground for blessings you can't even imagine yet. 🌱

So if you're in the waiting room of life, feeling forgotten – you're not. If you're wondering if He sees your struggle – He does. If you're asking "when will it be my turn?" – His timing is always perfect, even when it doesn't feel like it. ⏰

Your breakthrough is brewing. Keep believing, keep breathing, keep trusting. 🌈

I'M IN THE MPI OHIO NEWSLETTER! 📰

The recent MPI Ohio Chapter Newsletter was all about "Blunders to Breakthroughs" and I got to be part of it! Honestly still feels a bit unreal seeing my story in print! 🤏

Shoutout to the incredible humans at MPI Ohio Chapter for letting me spill all the tea about my most chaotic moment (in the best way possible). Y'all really said "come share your mess" and I said "GLADLY!" 😂

Picture this: NYC. High-stakes matchmaker event. Everything that could go wrong... went SPECTACULARLY wrong. Rentals stuck on sidewalks, Christmas chaos, and me having what felt like the world's most stressful day. Then somehow, SOMEHOW, we turned it all around in just 12 minutes! Like, blink and everything was perfect! 🗽✨

Turns out my biggest "oh no" moment became my most epic "oh WOW" story! Who knew that nearly losing my mind in Manhattan would end up in print? Life really said "plot twist!" 🎬

The whole thing reminded me that sometimes our most beautiful breakthroughs are hiding behind our messiest blunders. Like, literally hiding and waiting to surprise us!

My heart is absolutely OVERFLOWING with gratitude and excitement! 🌟

Pinch me, because I can’t believe I get to be a guest speaker at the 2nd Annual Harvest Women's Conference 2025 hosted by New Birth Christian Ministries at Deer Creek Lodge & Conference Center on August 29-31!✨

I'm walking in with a heart full of gratitude, a dash of nerves (the good kind 💃🏽), and a whole lot of expectation for what God is about to do in that room. As it says in Psalm 23:5 - "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." That's exactly how I feel right now - like God has prepared this beautiful table of opportunity and my cup is absolutely overflowing with His goodness! 💫

This is more than just a conference—it’s a celebration of faith, sisterhood, and purpose, and I’m honored to have a front-row seat to it all. 💎

If you see me dancing down the hallway or grinning way too big, just know—it’s because I know this is going to be a powerful, joy-filled, life-changing experience for every woman who shows up. 🌿

Thank you First Lady Bo and Deaconess Renajia for the invitation. I'm honored to serve as your guest speaker! 🗣

So tell me… who’s grabbing their notebook, their cutest shoes, and joining me at Deer Creek? 📖

Behind every event we plan is one deeply intentional question — “What feeling do we want people to carry home?”

Because it’s never just about the agenda or the décor. It’s about the moments that linger, the connections made, and the stories that unfold. ✨

Imagine this:
“Remember that event last spring? I still think about how inspired I felt after that keynote.”
“I met someone there who became my business partner!”
“That was the first corporate event I actually enjoyed!”

That’s the kind of experience we aim to create—where the impact lives far beyond the closing remarks.
