"Ignite: A Luxury Gifting Suite '' celebrating Oscar nominees, was absolutely amazing. As a new business owner, events like this mean more than I can put into words. I was able to make genuine connections with celebrities, including some of my favorite legendary soap opera stars, influencers, producers, publishers, media outlets & more. I was also blessed to receive some encouragement and helpful advice from successful entrepreneurs & celebrities who have been in the game for years! I could go on and on about the energy, the hugs, the laughs and so much more, but I’ll stop here by saying again: THANK YOU!

“Ignite” Oscars gifting Lounge In 2024 was so fantastic! I was able to debut my product line to celebrities, influencers, and the media all day long. I was posted on multiple platforms and written up in a lifestyle magazine within days! There must have been over 600 people throughout the day and I would say it was a rousing success with multiple unique brands across multiple industries! Heather puts on first class events!

Blair & Alana - Founders of The Global Resilience Project

We have so much gratitude for Heather and for being a part of the Oscars Ignite Gifting Lounge. This was the first time we’ve participated in anything like this, and to have the opportunity to be one of the few brands present is such an honor. From the moment we signed on, until after the event, we felt well taken care of, and extremely supported in how to maximize our visibility. Being able to put our book, RESILIENT A.F.: Stories of Resilience, into the hands of such influential celebrities and media is going to help us move the needle on our mission to empower 88 million people by August 2025.
