Olivia Marino Dudley
I would say that what you see is truly what you get, and that is something I take pride in. I strive to be genuine and transparent in all of my interactions, especially with my patients. When I’m with them, I focus on being authentic and approachable, never trying to be anything other than myself. Read more>>

When I first started my tattoo apprenticeship. It was definitely a scary time. Learning a new trade and gaining people’s trust. For them to allow you to tattoo them with very little experience. You definitely question yourself. Read more>>

As I was finishing college in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought everything to a sudden halt. I had completed my senior capstone film, but I never got the chance to share it with a wider audience or submit it to many festivals as opportunities were limited. After graduating, I took a job and went nearly two years without making a film. Read more>>

I’m being called to slow down and lead from a place of alignment instead of urgency. For a long time, I felt like momentum meant saying yes to everything—every opportunity, every request, every version of myself people needed. Now, I’m learning that discernment is just as powerful as ambition. Read more>>

The older that I have become, the more that I value the morning time. I enjoy waking before the rest of the family wakes up, starting the day by sitting with Jesus, reading his word, praying, and just lifting up the day, uninterrupted. I gather a warm blanket, coffee, and sit in my favorite chair in the living room under the lamp. Read more>>

I’m really lucky to have some amazing people in my life. One of my closest friends is my go-to adventure buddy. We take road trips, go to music shows, and spend way too much time gaming together. They’re also the kind of friend I can have real, meaningful conversations with about life, which makes those experiences even better. Read more>>

I hope the story people tell about me is less about what I did and more about how I made them feel. Read more>>
Juliana Shun
I remember the first time fashion became a visual form of communication for me. It became my vital instrument for navigating the quietness of the world. The doctors didn’t catch my hearing loss after a freak accident. Believed to be caused by amoxicillin. I remember the moment the path of communication opened right before my eyes. Read more>>

The Word of God states in John 12:44-46, ‘And Jesus cried out and said, ‘Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in Him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees Him who sent me. Read more>>

My husband. That beautiful soul and the one I owe so much to. Before I mustered up the courage to begin my own makeup business, he pushed and encouraged me for YEARS. He had faith in my ability way before I ever did. Read more>>
Andrew Desenberg
I have found throughout my career that I’ve always been on a path, even if I wasn’t always sure where it was leading me. Sometime you come around a corner and realize that you were headed to the exact spot that you were needing to go to, without even knowing that was what lie ahead. Before the world told me who I was… Read more>>

When I was in the third grade, I wasn’t old enough for the youth group at my Church. However, because very few kids were my age, they allowed me to go up with the group. This particular Sunday, the leader was giving out ‘WWJD’ bracelets. My wrists were too small, so she asked if I wanted two. Read more>>

I admire Michelle Obama for her character because she consistently leads with integrity, humility, and compassion rather than authority. She uses her platform to uplift others, advocate for education and inclusion, and she is the model of grace under pressure—showing that true influence comes from authenticity and service, not power.
