Working with Wendy has ensured that I cross my t’s and dot my i’s- Whether I am booking a feature, have a trademark/copyright issue, updating my EPK/Artist statement planning an event, and more; she has taught me how to examine the process from different angles to make sure my work is impeccable! Wendy is a visionary who uses her skills and resources to amplify creative and artistic voices in our community and beyond. We have worked together on events such as Trailblazers: A meeting of the Dreamers, in which we created dynamic programming and speakers for local high school and college students to learn about the entrepreneurial grind. I have also attended events she has curated. The level of detail she includes in all of her workshops, whether it is a writing, business, music or art themed, is what makes Wendy’s event distinctive. I have been lucky to not only work alongside her, but be a witness and participant in what she is able to execute. I am excited to see what future projects I can support!
