Deanna Stanton
I truly believe so. I’m incredibly grateful to be a professional ballet dancer and a choreographer. It’s something I dreamed of since I was a kid & it’s so difficult to put into words how thankful I am that this is my reality. I’ve met and worked with so many wonderful people because of this art form. Read more>>

Lately our recent shows that we have been putting on have made me feel so proud. I am having so much fun that you can find me laughing more and more. Its just fun. We perform these shows at Lafayettes Music Room and Neil’s Music Room in Memphis, TN mostly and we do a ton of tributes in character. Read more>>

Rhonda Aaron
As a founder of a non-profit organization since 2007, there has been several times that I have wanted to give up. I had to remind myself many times that winners never quit, and quitters never win.

I’m most proud of building systems that no one sees… the structures that hold both my home and my business together. My husband shows up for our family every day in the workforce, and because of that foundation, I’ve been able to step into entrepreneurship and focus on creating wealth in a different way.

I would have to say, life after unexpected deaths. I would not say that I have healed from them per se. But I will say that I have learned, grew, and built upon them. Death of loved ones has a funny way of changing you and your outlook on life. That change can be for better or worse. Read more>>
Melody Hubbard-Robinson
I hope they say I lived fully, loved deeply, and lifted others along the way. I want my story to be one of a woman who created spaces where people felt seen, supported, and called higher. That I was a builder of sisterhood, a voice of encouragement, and someone who made faith practical in everyday life. Read more>>
Brian Johnson
That is an interesting question. I grew up on a farm in west Tennessee. As I grew older I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. A friend of mine was training in taekwondo so I tried it out. I guess you could say I always liked to fight so at first I really enjoyed training there. Read more>>
