We co-hosted a panel at The Vista Group in Beverly Hills to celebrate International Women’s History Month, honoring women from every walk of life! It was amazing to bring together people of all gender identities for this special celebration. Despite the rain, we are so grateful to everyone who made the effort to join us!
A huge thank you to The Vista Group for helping us make this event free of charge so that it was accessible for everyone, and for providing a safe, welcoming space (with some tasty snacks!) for us to enjoy. We’re also so grateful to our amazing speakers: Tess Manchester from Vista Group, Brittany Allen from 72andSunny, and our own Lexington Vanderberg, with Mariah Tzoumbas leading the conversation as our wonderful moderator. And a special shoutout to Keevon Sanders from Vista Group for helping make the night great!
Luis won a little giveaway provided by Tess Manchester, but to continue the celebration, he happily shared his winnings with the women in his life.
Thanks for showing up and supporting women, Luis!

A note that’s inspired you to strive to be the best artist you can be? On the flip side…have you received a note that felt like a personal attack or perhaps has made you question your worth as an artist?
