Drew Clausen

Beneath the surface of my day-to-day work, I’m a highly observant person, fascinated by the way people think about and experience the world. This curiosity has been a common thread throughout my personal and professional growth. From my days playing little league baseball to my early career, I’ve always embodied the classic Midwest mindset of being diligent in my work while also closely observing the leaders around me and how they were received in different moments. I am using the things I observed, as well as the way I was made to feel in various moments every day as I navigate the world. Read more>>

I never seen myself as a male model or influencer. Until one day a women stopped me while I was at work one day and asked me what was I doing. I laughed and I told the women I’m working, she asked the same question again and I responded what do you mean ma’am? She then told me why wasn’t I modeling and in the industry. Long story short it’s always been a stigma for male models and I didn’t want to be apart of that stigma until that day it made me realize I had a personality and certain look that I could help the next person that’s like minded as me that they also can be a male model and bypass the stigma of it all. Worked on being a male model ever since. Read more>>

Kansas City, is my home. It’s where I grew up, and I have so many memories some good and some bad. I am a proud product of immigrants and as a child I always was told to speak English because we are in America, my grandmother remembers being young and getting into an argument with an older lady at the grocery store because she kept harassing my family telling us to Speak English. Moments like those shaped me into becoming an activist. I didn’t plan to become an activist it, just kind of happened. Read more>>

Trey Meyers

Growing up in Lansing, Kansas, I attended Lansing High School, where I developed a strong passion for athletics. I competed for four years on the boys’ swim team, ultimately serving as the team captain. Additionally, I played both golf and soccer, further fueling my competitive spirit and teamwork skills. Beyond sports, I dedicated much of my youth to the Boy Scouts of America, achieving the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout in 2013 at the age of 13. At the time, I was the youngest individual to earn this honor in the state of Kansas, an achievement that instilled in me a deep sense of discipline, leadership, and perseverance. Read more>>

Sophie Sadler

Before then, I had always done it on the side as a hobby. However, I quickly understood that in order to do it well.. and raise a family, I couldn’t just blog on the side anymore. Committing to blogging and learning proper techniques when it comes to writing SEO-friendly posts, working on my photography and videography skills and testing recipes more frequently with better, more reliable methods takes a lot of time! I now have turned my blog into my sole career path and have diversified my revenue through web-traffic ad revenue, brand partnerships via social media and the blog, online German baking courses and my paid membership, as well as my own physical products.

Haley Sparks

Every photo session represents an opportunity to create something beautiful. I am deeply passionate about my work, and I infuse intention into every shot. While my approach might be considered unorthodox, with a heart-on-my-sleeve demeanor and a desire for genuine connections, it is this authenticity that makes my work so fulfilling. Read more>>

Mauria Stonestreet

I spent many years working in public schools, both in Kansas and the Chicago suburbs. While in Illinois, I launched a consulting practice. However, when I later moved back to Kansas City, I struggled to reestablish myself, as I no longer had the connections and reputation I had built in Illinois. Gaining traction was difficult, and I discovered that the services I offered lacked a market in Kansas City. In Illinois, I collaborated with an attorney to help families navigate the special education system and avoid due process. However, Kansas City appeared to be less litigious than the Chicago area there was lower demand for that type of support. Read more>>

Ki Armstrong

I’m became licensed in esthetics in 2013 and licensed in cosmetology in 2016. I opened Embrace Beauty Studio in Spa in 2017 simply because there was nowhere else for me to do both, esthetics and hair. At the time there was no full-service salon for black women in our region. I wanted to create a one stop shop for clients and stylists that looked like me. Read more>>

Ci Zacchaeus-Bachore

I’ve always believed in turning mishaps into triumphs, and my journey is proof of that. I started in foster care in Missouri, where creativity wasn’t exactly nurtured. I was always getting into trouble—mostly for thinking outside the box in a place that preferred everything to stay inside the lines. But then, as a teenager, I got the chance to move to New York, and it was like stepping into a whole new world. Suddenly, creativity wasn’t something to hide—it was celebrated. Fashion became my armor in a new city, helping me navigate spaces where I didn’t quite fit in yet. Read more>>

Courtney Kelly

The road has not always been smooth, but I could not be more grateful for the opportunities we have experienced and what we’ve learned along the way. After gaining substantial traction and hustling for three years, we experienced COVID and a major loss in business. We are thankful to have survived and are relearning the ever evolving wedding industry this many years past. Another major struggle of small business is growth and staffing, especially with the industry being somewhat seasonal. Mentally, it can be draining to swap back and forth between all of the different roles and hats small business owners wear. It’s also fun that every day is its own adventure! Read more>>

Nicolas Miller

Upon making these friends, photoshoots went from an impromptu iPhone photoshoot, to assisting on sets, shooting BTS, and modeling as well. As I learned more and watched my incredibly talented friends flourish I felt even more drawn to photography. Although I had the passion I did not have the equipment to pursue this passion up until this past holiday season when I was gifted my first camera. Since then I have started my photography business and began trying to learn all things photography. Read more>>

Lisa McConnell

My journey started with a love for parties and events! I enjoy curating everything from planning, designing, creating decor, to the final reveal of executing my clients visions. Boss Babe Balloon Co was formed as I saw a need in the Kansas City area for a one stop shop for everything party related.. After almost 3 years in business I expanded services to include a micro event space named Confetti Corner which serves as the perfect spot to host your events! Read more>>

Kristen Lynch

In 2024, I launched KC Health Coach, LLC, fulfilling my dream of serving the community where I was born and raised. My mission is to empower individuals and families in the Kansas City area to achieve their health and wellness goals through education, motivation, and lasting lifestyle changes. I offer personalized coaching for individuals, couples, families, and groups. Looking ahead, I plan to expand my reach and provide even greater wellness guidance to the Kansas City community.

Isaiah Peel

I fell in love with the gym gym, I fell in love with the community and also the trainer who pushed me every day because they knew how invested I was in achieving my goals. Later that year I became a part-time trainer and it was the most exciting thing ever to be able to put on that red trainer shirt, and motivate people who also in my position as well that was looking for an outlet to get stronger physically and mentally in life. And in October 2023, I made the lead And purchased 9Round kickboxing so that I can make a lifelong impact on the independence Blue Springs Lee Summit in Kansas City area. Read more>>

Jaden Rodriguez

My name is Jaden Rodriguez, I have been going to conventions and cosplaying since 2007. Growing up in a very small, and equally small minded town I was often bullied for my interests and there weren’t many anime fans around let alone cosplayers. I got the honor of getting to live through the evolution of cosplay as a hobby and art form from the early days to now and seeing its growth has been amazing. When my family moved to Springfield in 2015 my sister and I didn’t know almost anyone let alone cosplayers. We wanted to meet others and took a chance by attending the Japanese Fall Festival. We met friends who would become the original council and it was the birth of Springfield Cosplay. Read more>>

Carlie Claussen

I wasn’t making any money, but I always had a feeling things would start to work out. Eventually approaching my 2nd year, things really started to take off. I figured out my niche, social media, customer service, and was getting confident behind the chair. Fast forwarding to now, hair has gave me the opportunity to move to a bigger city this February, financially support myself, make amazing friendships, and have opportunities that I didn’t know could exist for me. I absolutely love this career, and the impact my clients have on my life. It’s also a great feeling knowing you impacted someone else’s life also. Couldn’t rage more about being a hairstylist!

Crystal Dominguez

Then, life took another turn. After going through a divorce and facing immense stress, I experienced a severe flare-up that landed me back in the hospital for nearly a week. I lost over 30 pounds once again, dropping to just 97 pounds. The doctors told me that had I been older, I wouldn’t have made it—my body was losing a dangerous amount of blood every day. At this time, I was also diagnosed with Crohn’s colitis, which was a more severe form of the disease, and on top of that, I have a 72-degree Cobb curve in my spine due to scoliosis. Read more>>

Jordan Dunseth

While that specific childhood ambition didn’t come to fruition, my creative journey took a different, yet equally rewarding, path. I accepted a tennis scholarship to Emporia State University, where I initially pursued a degree in art. However, gaining entry into the university’s graphic design program required completing two years of foundational art courses—painting, ceramics, and other disciplines that didn’t align with my specific interests. After some thoughtful advice from my father, I opted to take design courses as electives while earning a business degree. This decision ultimately provided me with a versatile skill set that has served me well throughout my career. Read more>>

Allen Williams

Streams and views don’t define who I am as a person or an artist. I was recently released from federal prison after more than 10 years and I’m currently hard at work releasing new material and reestablishing myself as one of the most unique and versatile artist in my genre while also providing opportunities for youth to express themselves and create art that promotes love, peace, and joy with a world that still slows down to listen to a story. I believe we all have a story that should be told. Read more>>

Dora Kearney

Just because of that marble wall for my mom, her friends all wanted the same and it led me to commissioned work in many homes. Then one of my clients had asked me to teach other people how to paint the marble, granite and stone finishes I was putting in my clients homes. I was nervous but decided to go for it. My class was a hit! It was an all day class at the local community college on Saturdays for a full 8 hours that sold out every Saturday! I had realized the level of fulfillment I got out of teaching and sharing my knowledge. I have been an instructor for various art subjects ever since. Read more>>

Maria Pimenova

Moving to the U.S. not only opened new professional opportunities but also reignited my passion for paper-based media. As I revisited my past work, I noticed that people were repeatedly drawn to my paper projects, sparking a deeper exploration of the medium’s expressive potential. Paper has a long tradition in both art and design, and by incorporating new technologies and tools, I found a way to push its boundaries. Read more>>

Dylan Ashlock

The road has been smooth so far. Like i said we all have such good chemistry of being great friends already that we can always bounce ideas off each other and kind of take the same approach of what our ‘next project’ will be. Each of us have a good role into this thing we all care deeply about and we all have the same goal at the end of the day; make cool stuff, get people stoked to ride BMX, and feel included in something that a lot of people in the BMX world dont always get to be apart of -Having a solid crew of very talented and unique bike riders that make content and do the most with this sport.

Ryann Cheek

As a student-athlete in college, I had to put photography on hold for a few years. Once I moved past my athletic career, I decided to pursue photography more seriously. What began as a side project for friends and family quickly grew into something bigger, and I found myself building a reputation in my small town in Eldridge, Iowa. Now, as I prepare to graduate college in May, I’m excited to relocate to Kansas City, MO, and expand my business by working with new clients in the area. It’s been a journey of discovering my true passion and watching it evolve from a hobby to doing something I love as a job! Read more>>

We are a woman indigenous owned and operated safe space, dedicated to providing all natural, non toxic plant, based alternatives for physical and spiritual healing.

Mollie Lothman

We have learned a lot over the years, and have definitely had our fair share of challenges. Growing from 4 employees to over 250 has brought lots of hardships and learning experiences. The biggest challenges by far were learning to grow and change time and time again during Covid. It was defintely a make it or break it time for the entire hospitality industry. We were lucky to be a fast casual concept and spent those 18 months or so constantly being willing to think outside the box, try new things and listen to our customers. We came out much stronger as a company. Read more>>

Beth Cree

I was raised in Central Missouri, met and married my soulmate at age 20. I was the first person in my family to attend college and earned my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Education. My husband and I raised two amazing daughters together. My first career was spent serving children and families in the Missouri First Steps program, which serves infants and toddlers with special needs or signifcant delays in their development. I met the most amazing families and learned incredible wisdom from them and their unique circumstances. Read more>>

Kris Wheeler

In 1992, Play It Again Sports opened in Wichita, KS where my family lived. Play It Again Sports became my home away from home. I remember my dad often asking if I wanted to stop in and see what they had. I was eight years old at the time and my answer was always an emphatic YES! From an early age, I loved the game of baseball and would later in life dedicate much of my life to it as a coach and instructor. In those early years, my dad was settling into his career as a journeyman. My mother stayed home with the children at the time. As you can imagine, one income could have its challenges and therefore, Play It Again Sports made a lot of sense for our family. Read more>>

April Wendel

I have always been passionate about the benefits of organic and all-natural products. For years, I made my own daily essential products (soap, deodorant, laundry detergent, etc.) to avoid harmful chemicals. Additionally, I hold a strong commitment to minimizing waste and promoting environmentally friendly practices. I was driven by a desire to make healthy and eco-conscious product options more accessible to everyone. I started my company as an ecommerce store, while also doing local pop-ups. The opportunity to open a local shop inside Painted Tree Boutiques presented itself and I thought it was a great way to grow. I am overjoyed that my boutique can offer so many wonderful natural products that are made by USA owned small businesses. Read more>>

Maria Murphy

I taught there for 2 years before the owner decided to move back to her hometown and asked me if I would like to buy the Yoga Patch. I bought it and we quickly outgrew the space. I soon found the old warehouse building in the heart of Waldo/Brookside that we are in today and purchased it to create a wellness center. I had a vision of a local wellness center where all are welcome. A wellness center where yoga is accessible and spa services that promote holistic health is affordable. All this, in a community of kind people who love working together was the dream. I can say that dream has absolutely come true. Read more>>

Katelynn Wampler

Life is always full of struggles, but our Father up in heaven always has our back. Our Father put these obstacles in our life to see who are the strong ones, and who can beat the obstacles that he is giving us. Jesus has given me a lot of obstacles and I just kept asking why. Then I realized that if I can beat anything that gets thrown in my life then I can beat any obstacles that come my way. God gave up his life for us/his children to live on earth for him. God died on the cross, and done all of this in 6 days, and God rested on the 7th day. If God can do it, I believe we all can do it and fight for each other not against each other. Read more>>

Aliya Kisivo

I feel very lucky to have not run into any obstacles in this industry. I believe that is due to the amazing support system I have, mentors, family and friends within the sport’s world. If anything, the short Tik Tok ban at the beginning of this year was the toughest period for me because Tik Tok makes up a large percentage of my audience. The ban forced me to be more active on my other social platforms which ultimately helped me. Read more>>

Claude Harris

Having anxiety to talk to people was a challenge at first. Not knowing what to sale my paintings for or where to go. Who to trust and understanding the business of me. People devalue your work and try to trick you, but you have to know your worth. Then having time to create and make a living. Read more>>

Nicole Price

But life has a way of teaching us the lessons we most need to learn. A series of personal and professional experiences—including an unexpected DNA discovery that reshaped my understanding of identity—forced me to confront emotions I had previously suppressed and ignored. I jokingly say that there are two ways to learn empathy—pleasantly and slow or painfully and fast. I chose all the methods and learned firsthand that empathy isn’t weakness; it’s strategy. It’s a powerful tool that drives engagement, innovation, and, ultimately, results. Read more>>

Michael Fakuade

My name is Michael Damilola Fakuade, a child of God and a portrait photographer based in the Kansas City area. I’m from Ekiti State, Nigeria but i lived in Lagos all my life. I came to the US in 2018 just for the holidays then i decided to come back at the end of 2019 because i had seen a different side of the world which i wasn’t exposed to before. My photography journey started in 2020 due to the pandemic, i had a little knowledge of it and i only dived deeper into it through tutorials on youtube. Today, i’ve been able to niche down to portraits and event photography. Read more>>

Claire Borja

I initially opened my business in November 2019. I was required to shut down for six months the next March due to being deemed “non essential” during the nationwide shutdown. The struggle of just having opened my business and building my clientele was difficult to navigate. Read more>>

Nevia Simone Wallingford

I started modeling in 2017 with the Curves and Confidence. I’ve been modeling steadily ever since with several seasons of Kansas City Fashion Week, West 18th, Omaha Fashion Week, Kritiq, Heartland International Fashion Week. Christian Micheal Runway Review and others. The most recent was KCFW March 15th. I’ve been published in Local Fashion mag, Heartland International Fashion Week mag, Zion magazine, and Christian Micheal Runway Review mag. I have shot/brand shoots with many local boutiques 79Roze, Blacque Onyx Boutique, Matches Boutique, Ellis Clothing Co.,All My Heart Bridal, Fabletics.  Read more>>

Emma Arnold

Over time, I began to realize that many people are intimidated by royal icing and they think (probably because of all the drama on social media) that they’d never be able to create decorated sugar cookies. I started teaching cookie decorating classes as a fun way for people to learn the basics and develop skills. In our 90 minute classes, we talk about how the icing behaves, learn a few techniques, and decorate using a step by step process. Everyone leaves with a beautiful set of cookies. It’s awesome to see the grins and confidence as they realize that they’re able to decorate with royal icing! Read more>>

Taylor Manning

I started back in 2017 when I created my natural beauty line, Monteils Skincare & Aromatherapy. From vendor markets to networking events, I was able to form meaningful relationships with other business owners. I always knew I wanted to do something on a grander scale but it hadn’t quite come to me over the years. In 2023 I had an immense dream and woke up with a mission from God. I needed to bring like-minded businesses together that believe in servicing and healing the community. In 2024, House of Healing was born! Read more>>

Emily Chhatriwalla

Lucky for me, I’m a sucker for learning something new. And I’ve had a lot of support along the way from friends and mentors. Something I learned early on that has served me well is if you don’t know how to do something in your business, someone else does, and you can probably pay them to teach you or even do it for you! Business logistics aside, my yoga practice and healing resources have kept me afloat many times over the years, and it’s my own healing work that largely informs my work as a practitioner. Read more>>

Kitty Huynh

I wanted to see myself like that too. As someone who was confused in life with a good amount of money, why not put it towards something I could feel good about myself with? I never see anyone who looks like me anyways. I booked my first shoot in January/February of 2023 and since then, the modeling world unraveled itself for me. I am very fortunate. I’ve never been camera shy and that really helped blossom my career. After my first and second shoot, I had photographers reaching out to me wanting to collaborate! As much as I never saw what they saw in me, I appreciate it now, because the past two years of modeling, i’ve inspired others and now I am on a path of creative directing shoots for others.

Kirsten Reyes

Inspired by their craftsmanship, we founded Beyond Borders Collective in Ecuador in 2017, and our small operation was moved to Nebraska in 2018 with only a few blankets in hand (twelve to be precise) and a heart full of dreams; our journey was about to begin. In 2020, the business started to flourish due to the major growth that the e-commerce market experienced. Finally, in August 2020, we decided to take the risk and moved to Kansas City (where we knew KC local small businesses are well supported within the community and where my mom’s side of the family lives) with hopes of expanding our brand and operations with this type of support system. Today, we are proud to say that Kansas City is our home. Read more>>

Jared Beasley

My musical journey began many years ago when I was around 17 years old. As I grew up playing sports mostly, I was always an avid listener of music. I found out early that going very far as an athlete wasn’t realistic. During sometime of my junior year we had a teacher that came from the inner city alternative schools to our suburban high school. She took to my writings and was one of the first people to push me to starting writing raps. Before that I never thought a white kid from the suburbs was “allowed” to be a rapper. According to her I had blessings that other students she taught never had. Education, intelligence, vocabulary. Read more>>

Abigail Madsen

My biggest obstacle is trying to make enough to successfully live off of something that I am passionate about. Many personal trainers are independent contractors or work on a freelance basis, meaning their income can fluctuate. This can be challenging if clients don’t commit long-term or if there’s a slow season for the gym or fitness industry. Read more>>

Blanca Herrada

I started working with an arts and culture organization in Topeka, The Tonantzin Society, where I gained valuable experience in having a community arts practice and curated my first exhibition, Artemio Rodriguez | Tradición y Modernidad En El Grabado (Artemio Rodriguez | Tradition and Modernity in Printmaking). After that, I just kept taking any opportunity that came my way, and eventually, I started my current job as the Exhibitions Coordinator at the Lawrence Arts Center. Since then, I’ve curated more exhibitions, participated in nationally recognized fellowships, and continued to grow as an artist, curator, activist, and educator. Read more>>

Paulette Dawn

Of course this means she attends most rehearsals and out of town productions. I have been fortunate the theater in general has been very accepting of this need As a person who dislikes I have found myself having to navigate through unfamiliar cities. Also being a wife mother, working a regular job and taking care of two very spoiled dogs brings its own set of challenges. All of these challenges have benefited me creatively. I have learned to take the obstacles and challenges and channel them into the characters I portray. Read more>>

MIke Farag

At a personal level, I’m focused on leading with intention—more speaking, more writing, and more space to invest in the kind of work and relationships that matter. We’re not chasing change for the sake of it, but we’re wide open to what’s next. If it leads to deeper impact and more truth-telling through marketing, we’re in. Read more>>

Jynivah Grant

I had never been the type of person to put myself out there while in college, but my passion that grew from learning how to master something that brought me joy inspired me to take many chances at putting my work out there so that I could start gaining clientele and building relationships. Taking those chances and risks at possible rejection really made me into an even more confident person by letting me know that I am capable of many things as long as I navigate it through a place of serving others and make sure that it comes from the heart. I got so much support and even made friends from doing makeup that still remain great connections. Read more>>

Kat & Ally Cacho

We quickly realized how much we loved thrifting and curating vintage together, so we decided to launch Alleycat Vintage as a joint project. It gave us a dedicated space to focus on vintage fashion while allowing Kut the Knit and Fairy Shop Collective to be its own thing . Now, our brands have become an extension of who we are; blending our love for fashion, nostalgia, and creativity into something that keeps evolving. It’s been a wild ride, but we’re having so much fun working together on something we both love. Read more>>

Bianca Donnelly

I opened Dreamhaus KC in November of 2023 with the intention of creating a private, luxurious salon space in which all people and hair textures can be included and celebrated. I love being able to provide my clients not only with their best hair possible, but even more than that, instilling them with an unmatched level of confidence. When you look your best, you feel your best, and I absolutely adore being able to make people feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. Read more>>

Nathan Fleming

In 2018 I attended my first electronic music show featuring Shlump and EAZYBAKED which shifted the trajectory of my music career significantly. Before that, I was mostly focused on writing folk and indie music. The main thing that hooked me was the culture surrounding raves and music festivals. The scene is so diverse and deeply accepting of differences. I felt at home surrounded by strangers moving to the same beat. Read more>>

Chris Allen

With my music I am continuously looking for ways to push the boundaries of Christian music, while continuously making strides in the Christian music scene. In 2022 I decided to venture into the world of Fashion and Creative Marketing, fusing both my love for music and fashion by starting my own LLC. I believe my brand is not only redefining the boundaries of style and creativity but also inspiring and motivating others. As I continue sharing my creative expression my hope is to make a lasting impact on the world through music, fashion, and my unwavering passion and authenticity. Read more>>

Cait Fore

During college I primarily worked in fashion and interned in LA with BCBG and LOVED working for a company on the pulse of fashion. I still loved interiors and art. But, it was the recession and so I focused on getting a job and retail called me. I worked everywhere and finally went out on my own in 2014 as a stylist and blogger. It’s been an amazing ride and now it has all culminated under one umbrella, Cait Fore. I am an abstract and gold leaf artist, wardrobe stylist, and interior stylist and love wearing all these hats to help my clients bring their best lives to reality. Read more>>

Abigail Walters

At this time, I also started to get horrific migraines almost every single day lasting 4-10 hours a day. After trying all the pharmaceutical drugs and Botox, it all failed. I was left completely defeated. My yoga teacher suggested I try acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I went twice a week for about 4-6 weeks. I remember when my acupuncturist asked how my migraines were and I started crying; I couldn’t remember the last time I had one. That was the moment I knew I wanted to go back to school. I wanted to show individuals that there are other ways to feel better other than just western medicine. Read more>>
