So grateful I was able to attend. My cup was filled to the brim meeting and learning from so many amazing women. What you have created is phenomenal! Massive kudos to you Looking forward to staying connected and to personally meeting you at a future event  ### Justine Wentzell-Chang It was so nice meeting you yesterday at Blackbird. I absolutely loved the event and got so much value and new friendships out of the day. I’m so glad Jess Velasco told me to attend!   ### Hannah Berger Yesterday was such an awesome experience. I felt overwhelmed in the best way by the information I received and the inspirational women I connected with. ### Baily Hancock It was honestly one of the best events I’ve been to in 5+ years, thank you for being so generous with your insights and information! I’m serious - I’m typically bored after a session or two and every single one was wildly impactful. You curated a stellar lineup. I just signed up to become a Luminary Member. ### Jennifer Herrera I am SO grateful for the Luminary LIVE LA event. Thank you for creating those opportunities. Luminary is the real deal and the way you show up is refreshing, warm, and accessible. ### RBC Attendee What a special day it was! I enjoyed every speaker and every person I met today, including you. Worth the drive from Orange County. ## Learn, Connect, and Grow with Us at Luminary LIVE Dallas. [ Register for Free ](https://link.weareluminary.com/events/122994)
