It was a pleasure to experience Luminary in person here in Los Angeles at Blackbird. It is clear that you and the team are dedicated to ensuring that all women have the opportunities they need to make a significant and profitable impact on the world through their businesses. So, thank you! My attendance could not have been more timely, as I was just rethinking business ownership. At Luminary Los Angeles, I reaffirmed my purpose to serve women business owners in the way I know will effectively help them sidestep unnecessary financial and strategic pitfalls, so they can flourish.

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.

Thank you for hosting such an amazing event yesterday. Driving all the way from Orange County was absolutely worth it, as I had the pleasure of meeting so many heart-centered entrepreneurs and really walked away knowing I am not alone!
The atmosphere you created was truly special, and I can confidently say it's unlike any other networking event I've attended. The connections made and the conversations had were invaluable, and I'm excited about the potential collaborations that may arise from them.
