FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Radical Self-Expression Summit provides a space for women and men to explore how the practices of self-love and self-expression can benefit their communities.

Atlanta, Georgia (March 10, 2014) We are delighted to announce a unique event created to explore and celebrate the contributions of 9 extraordinary Atlanta women entrepreneurs. This wellness-focused summit will use storytelling, dialogue, visual art, music, and fashion to recognize positive impact among women leaders. 

OUR HONOREES INCLUDE:

  • A multiple-time New York Bestselling author, and award-winning journalist/blogger
  • An environmental activist who represented her  non-profit organization as an invited guest to the White House Women and the Environment Summit
  • An internationally acclaimed Marketing Expert whose Conscious Marketing skills have played integral roles in the careers of some of Atlanta’s most celebrated musical and visual artists
  • An emcee whose unmistakable confidence and positivity represents the Goddess mindset that many women seek to embody

…among other brilliant Lightworkers whose commitment to wellness have significantly enhanced the quality of life for thousands of women and men.

The honorees and their work are the event’s focal points, and the poetry and prose from the spiritual novel, Radical Self-Expression Manifesto will underscore the evening via book readings and the sharing of deep inquiry and meaningful dialogue.

Additionally, our guests will enjoy fashion and art by way of our “mini-fashion shows” embedded throughout the event. The shows will highlight 9 “statement T-shirt” designs that complement the energy of Radical Self-Expression.

Our models will be provided through our partnership with Atlanta-based, Vitiligo Bond, Inc, a non-profit organization that supports awareness and treatment for the skin condition made popular by Pop icon, Michael Jackson.

Our partnership with Vitiligo Bond is ideal as their purpose is to foster self-love, self-confidence, and self-expression among those living with Vitiligo and those looking to support them. This partnership also helps our In-Kind Donations to be tax-deductible.

Natasha Pierre McCarthy is the visionary founder of the National Vitiligo Bond Inc. Foundation (Vitiligo Bond), a nonprofit devoted to supporting and empowering individuals living with vitiligo. Drawing inspiration from her experiences as a Christian business professor and the guidance of her pastor, Natasha turned a God-inspired vision into reality—creating a platform that educates, uplifts, and connects those affected by vitiligo. Vitiligo Bond promotes awareness through innovative educational initiatives, including Vitiligo 101 sessions at Emory University with Dr. Holla, community events, social media campaigns, partnerships with support groups, and collaborations with public figures and state leaders. By fostering a strong, supportive community, Vitiligo Bond ensures that no one with vitiligo feels alone. Through tireless advocacy, Vitiligo Bond and its dedicated volunteers have been instrumental in securing Governor Proclamations in multiple states, officially recognizing Vitiligo Awareness in Georgia, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia... The organization has also supported the launch of vitiligo focused support groups and nonprofits both nationally and internationally. Well-known brands have collaborated with Vitiligo Bond, featuring models from the organization to destigmatize vitiligo and promote inclusivity. Natasha’s work has earned recognition from Congressman Hank Johnson, whose support helped bring national attention to vitiligo awareness, including acknowledgment by President Barack Obama administration during Vitiligo Awareness Month in June. Current efforts also include legislative initiatives (HRES 792) to address bullying and advocate for youth affected by vitiligo. Believing that everyone is created with a purpose and deserves a full, vibrant life, Natasha reminds us, “We all have the ability to shine.” Vitiligo Bond remains steadfast in its mission to raise awareness, promote self-acceptance, support those facing bullying, destigmatize vitiligo, and advance research toward understanding and ultimately curing vitiligo.
