Unleashed is an investment you can make in yourself. It was something that was much needed, something missing, something essential. It provided an opportunity for networking, connections, and meaningful relationships. It was a powerful and impactful experience that left me with an open heart and inspired me to create. The event was very well-organized, and the level of professionalism was top-level. Also, the caring part; it was a high-quality industry event.
I felt that I was among people who are all about empowerment, vision, and contribution, coming from a place of personal responsibility to give back to the community and make a difference, whether they were actors, speakers, artists, or entrepreneurs. It provides a platform that brings together various arts and people contributing in their own ways from diverse backgrounds. All the speakers were very impactful and inspiring. The level of training and the quality of the speakers and organizers were cutting-edge.
I used to attend leadership conferences, and the artistic element was missing, especially in the context of LGBTQ leadership. Unleashed combines everything, and I feel that it's the beginning of a place where people can meet, create a community, and be empowered to make a real impact. I'm more than honored to be a part of it with my movie. As a filmmaker, I felt I was exactly in the right place. Thank you, Unleashed, for providing a space where our community can thrive.
