A Day of Learning, Sharing & Community at the Goodwill Creator Summit

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the Goodwill Creator Summit with Goodwill Greater Milwaukee & Chicago alongside nearly 40 creators from Chicago and Milwaukee, and it was such an inspiring experience.

The day was filled with networking, learning, collaboration, and meaningful conversations about content creation, storytelling, sustainability, and the impact we can make through our platforms.

One of the highlights for me was serving on a panel where I shared my experiences working on media projects, TV appearances, interviews, and content partnerships. It was especially rewarding to encourage newer creators and remind them that confidence comes from doing—not from waiting until you feel completely ready.

I also enjoyed finally meeting many of the Goodwill team members I’ve worked with behind the scenes and connecting with fellow creators who are passionate about thrifting, DIY, upcycling, fashion, home décor, and community building.

The day wrapped up with a visit to the Grand Avenue Goodwill store, where we had the chance to thrift and connect even more.

Thank you to the Goodwill team for creating such a thoughtful and engaging experience. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn, share, and be part of such a creative community.
