🔥 WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIND THE WORDS FOR TODAY.
So maybe there’s only one word:
WOW.
Today, the Light It Up performers showed up with their passion, their ideas, their stories—and a willingness to learn and share their stories.
And what happened in that room?
Something bigger than we imagined started taking shape.
We laid the groundwork for a night that will be beautiful. Inspiring. Passionate. Moving. Hopeful. Loving.
A night about what happens when we choose to light it up.
When we find the courage to hope.
When we choose to love.
When we draw on our resilience.
When we let ourselves be inspired.
When we allow ourselves to feel.
And when we finally step into the light and share our story.
Because sometimes, lighting it up isn't about shining the brightest.
It's about finding your light—and having the courage to let someone else see it.
Sound familiar, performers? 👀😉
Because those are the words YOU chose to describe what you want your audience to feel.
And now?
We build it.
We practice.
We prepare.
We dig deeper.
We tell the stories.
We make the music.
And on November 5…
WE LIGHT IT UP. 🔥
To our performers: thank you. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for being vulnerable. Thank you for bringing your whole selves into the room today. We are already incredibly proud of what you are creating.
And to our phenomenal facilitators—Cheryl Nichols, Kelly Fischer, Kerry Brough, and Deborah Asante—thank you for giving your time, your wisdom, and your hearts to these artists.
To Sonja Clark with Moonbug Photography and Jordan Cabeen, our official Light It Up videographer—the time, talent, sacrifice, and love you are pouring into this project means more to us than we can put into words.
We love you all already. ❤️
And to everyone who is thinking about coming on November 5…
GET. YOUR. TICKETS.
Seating is limited, and after today, we can say this with absolute confidence:
You are going to want to be in that room.
