CELEBRATING WOMEN WHO LEAD, NOT JUST WITH BEAUTY, BUT PURPOSE

WE Celebrate Women

There’s something truly special about taking a moment to recognize the women in our lives who make the world more vibrant and beautiful. Whether it's our mothers, daughters, friends, or colleagues, these women are often the silent forces that shape our days and make life richer.

With Mother’s Day this month, our thoughts naturally turn to all those incredible women—biological mothers and mother figures alike—who have made an unforgettable impact on us. It’s the teachers, the friends, the neighbors, and the family members who offer their love, wisdom, and support in countless ways. I am blessed to have a had a selfless, remarkable mother, 4 incredible loving adult children and more strong inspiring female friends than I deserve.

This month, as we celebrate these remarkable women, I also want to encourage you to support local businesses owned by women in our community. One of my favorite parts of this job is connecting with and championing the incredible women here in Roswell. From movers and shakers to makers and builders, these women bring so much to the table, both seen and unseen. Their contributions, often behind the scenes, create beauty and impact that cannot be replicated. Read all the incredible stories of hope, inspiration, love and purpose driven passions this month.

Take a moment this month to recognize the women in your life. Send a text, make a phone call, or arrange a video call with the women who have made a difference for you. It’s a simple but powerful way to brighten someone’s day and remind them how much they’re loved.

Here’s to celebrating the women who make life so much more meaningful. Happy Mother’s Day and cheers to the ladies who inspire us every day!

Today’s “Rosie the Riveter”

Tamekia Morris

How Women Are Powering the Next Generation of Skilled Trades and choosing purpose, prosperity, and possibility— reshaping success beyond traditional expectations

ARTICLE BY ROSWELL CITY LIFESTYLE

There was a time when "Rosie the Riveter" symbolized resilient women stepping forward to meet a national moment. Today, a new generation of women is redefining what it means to step forward, not out of necessity, but by choice.

Across the country, a quiet but powerful shift is taking place. As families reconsider the long-held belief that a fouryear degree is the only path to success, many are embracing a broader definition of achievement one rooted in financial independence, flexibility, and long-term stability.

For today’s modern woman, success is no longer one-sizefits-all. It may look like launching a business, mastering a skilled trade, or entering a field where demand is high and opportunity is immediate. Careers in areas like welding, electrical work, and advanced HVAC systems—once overlooked are now being recognized for what they truly offer: strong earning potential, entrepreneurial freedom, and resilience in an ever-evolving economy.

This shift is especially meaningful for families thinking generationally. With student loan debt continuing to shape major life decisions—from homeownership to investing—many are seeking smarter, more strategic pathways. Trade and technical programs offer a compelling alternative, often requiring less time and significantly less financial investment, while opening doors to stable and lucrative careers much earlier.

And women are leading the way. Meet Tamekia Morris: Campus President of the Tulsa Welding School (TWS) Atlanta Metro campus who has 20+ years of leadership experience in education and operations and was brought on specifically to launch and build the Atlanta campus.

From young professionals choosing hands-on careers with immediate impact, to mothers re-entering the workforce with intention, to veterans transitioning with purpose—these women are building futures on their own terms. They are not only contributing to their households, but also strengthening the fabric of their communities.

Perhaps most importantly, they are reshaping perception. Today’s workforce values skill, innovation, and reliability above all else qualities that transcend industry and gender alike. Women are bringing fresh perspectives, elevating standards, and expanding what leadership looks like across traditionally male-dominated fields.

For families raising the next generation, this evolution matters. It opens the door to conversations about choice, about redefining success, and about empowering young women to pursue paths that align with both their passions and their financial goals.

The modern “Rosie” isn’t defined by circumstance she’s defined by opportunity. And in today’s world, that opportunity is broader, smarter, and more empowering than ever before. go.tws.edu

POWERING COMMUNITY THROUGH LEGACY, LEADERSHIP, AND SERVICE

KELLY AND PETER MEER LEAD A MULTIGENERATIONAL BUSINESS

ROOTED IN SERVICE, INNOVATION, AND LASTING COMMUNITY IMPACT

ARTICLE BY WENDY EDWARDS

Peter Meer was born with fire in his veins. Whether serving as a Captain with the Roswell Fire Department for more than 20 years or leading his family’s legacy business as CEO of Meer Electric, he has built a life around harnessing and directing that powerful force.

That drive traces back to his grandfather, Frank Meer, in Wisconsin, who honed his craft and passed it down through generations; first to his sons, then to his grandsons. Today, three generations of the Meer families have proudly served their communities, bound by both skill and purpose.

Every successful venture is built on a strong partnership, where each person brings distinct strengths to the table. Peter found that partner in his wife, Kelly, who for the past 20 years has poured her heart into the business as if it were her own calling. (Quote about peter finding the perfect partner in life and in business)

Together, they have shared in the company’s growth and success while continuing to serve Roswell and the surrounding communities with their trusted expertise. Peter and Kelly Meer are part of a living legacy that extends far beyond electrical work that, for decades, has not only powered homes, but strengthened the community in ways that are difficult to measure.

Whether it's wiring homes for habitat for humanity, illuminating town squares for special events or supporting the Roswell football team, the Meer Electric family has always held community service in high regard. Kelly’s passion for service led her to start the Safety Town Program in partnership with the Roswell Parks Department, in 2004. Teaching four- to six-year-olds about street safety, stranger danger, and the roles of police officers and firefighters in helping those in need has grown into an initiative that has educated more than 12,000 children over the years. Safety Town is now an integral part of many preschool’s curriculum as they expose children to how their community functions. (Quote from Kelly about Safety Town.)

With Meer Electric’s long-standing success, it would be easy to rest on their laurels. Instead, Peter and Kelly have built a culture rooted in consistency and a relentless drive to keep evolving. For more than 40 years, Meer has delivered exceptional service while continually expanding its capabilities. In addition to its residential and commercial work, the company now offers EV charger and generator installations, nationwide weather siren installation and maintenance, and underground boring: an ever-growing portfolio that sets them apart.

“We are a very diverse electrical company. Not only do we specialize in residential and commercial service work, we also provide underground boring services, crane services, bucket truck services, we install tornado sirens all over the country, and we can bring power to any size event,” (Can this be attributed to Peter?)

Meer Electric’s commitment to quality and service has not gone unnoticed. The company has earned numerous community accolades, including Best Electrician of Alpharetta 2026, Best of East Cobb 2026, and Best Electrical Company by My Home Improvement Atlanta for two consecutive years. These honors speak to the trust Meer electric has built and the satisfaction of the communities they serve. Looking to the future, Meer Electric remains firmly focused on forging ahead. The company plans to expand its divisions, invest in advanced equipment, and grow its team, while staying true to its core values. As a family-owned business, their mission is to deliver reliable, high-quality service while deepening the strong relationships they’ve cultivated within the community. (Quote about staying true to their roots and continuing to give back to the community)

I AM More THAN:

An Exhibit That Gives Teen Girls Their Voice

ARTICLE BY TRAN BUI

PHOTOGRAPHY BY URBAN TREND STUDIOS, CLAIRE ABEL

At a time when comparison is constant and self-worth is often measured through screens, photographer and creative Ashley Hugghins of Urban Trend Studios is creating space for teen girls to be seen fully and honestly. Her portrait and storytelling exhibit, I Am More Than , centers on one simple but powerful prompt: I am more than…

The project features twelve teen girls from communities across metro Atlanta, including Roswell, East Cobb, Brookhaven, Milton, and Gainesville. Each girl was photographed and invited to complete the sentence in her own words. The responses were deeply personal, touching on others’ expectations, fears, ambition, insecurities, and what someone thinks of them—revealing how much young girls carry. The project premiered with an in-person exhibit and celebration and can now be seen on her website, Facebook, and Instagram pages.

For Hugghins, the inspiration behind the project is deeply personal. “I am doing this to help boost self-esteem and bring awareness that they are more than enough. As someone who has struggled with confidence and low self image my whole life, I feel a push to prevent girls from going through the same, especially when they are exposed to feelings of inadequacy through social media.”

Rather than focusing on achievements or labels, I Am More Than asks girls to reflect inward. “I want to show them that they don’t need to compare themselves to anyone and that their worth is not determined by any outside factors,” Hugghins says.

The project also highlights how early self-belief can shape the future. “The younger they are when they learn to love themselves the better they are able to trust themselves and go after goals they might otherwise shy away from believing they aren't enough.”

She also sees the exhibit as a bridge between families and teen girls. “I would also love for parents to see their daughter in a new way, outside of their abilities and achievements, and strengthen their bond by really hearing what they may not have known about their child and how they feel.”

At its core, I Am More Than reminds girls they get to define themselves.

MORE THAN GOLD

DOMINIQUE DAWES ON IMPACT, BALANCE, AND BUILDING SOMETHING BIGGER

“It’s what you do when no one is watching that matters most,” she says.

When reflecting on her Olympic journey, Dawes points not to the gold medal, but to her resilience. Gymnastics tested her physically, mentally, and emotionally, and there were moments when walking away would have been easier.

“I’m most proud of never giving up,” she says. “I stayed true to my love for the sport, continued to pursue my dreams, and focused on making a difference on those around me—even when times were tough, when I felt frustrated, or completely fatigued.”

That strength was also built through setbacks, including an Olympic fall that once felt like failure. “At the time, I thought I had let people down,” she admits. “But I grew from it. It made me stronger.”

“That really triggered something in me,” she says. “I realized the influence I could have.”

While the world saw medals and milestones, Dawes saw something deeper. By nature, she describes herself as private and introverted, never chasing applause. “The applause is fleeting,” she explains. “You don’t have control over that. But you do have control over the impact you make.”

That mindset carried her through an intense career in one of the most demanding sports in the world. The lessons learned in those early mornings and long training days still shape her life today.

Today, Dawes’ definition of success looks very different. As a young athlete, her days began before sunrise and ended late at night, with school squeezed in between hours of training.

“There was no balance,” she says. “I sacrificed a lot.”

Now, as a mother of four beautiful children, her priorities are clear. Faith comes first, followed by family and relationships, then professional pursuits. She describes life as a juggling act, one that requires intentional attention to what matters most.

“If you start neglecting an area, you can lose that area,” she says. “So I stay true to my priorities, even if it means sacrificing professionally.”

That clarity of purpose is what ultimately led to the creation of the Dominique Dawes Academy. After the 2016 Olympics, widespread conversations about athlete safety and culture within gymnastics prompted deep reflection.

“My husband and I realized things could be done differently,” she says. “Our kids became our ‘why.’”

In July 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic, they opened their first academy location with a mission that extends far beyond sport.

“It’s not just about developing athletes,” Dawes explains. “It’s about developing the whole child.”

From the moment a child walks through the doors, the focus is on building confidence, self-esteem, and character. Coaches are chosen not just for their technical ability, but for their ability to connect, encourage, and care.

“It’s about the smile, the tone in your voice, giving a high five, showing that you care,” she says. “That’s where the real impact happens.”

Unlike traditional gyms that emphasize competition above all else, Dawes’ approach prioritizes well-being. Winning is not defined by a score, but by growth—emotionally, physically, and socially.

“I wasn't taught the importance of friendships in gymnastics,” she reflects. “Everyone was seen as a competitor. At our academy, we want kids to build relationships, to support each other, and to feel connected.”

That philosophy is central to the academy’s expansion, including its newest location in Alpharetta. For Dawes, the connection to Atlanta is deeply personal.

“Atlanta has always felt like a second home,” she says. “Thirty years ago, I was here with my teammates, and the way this community embraced us, it stayed with me.”

Returning to the Atlanta area to open an academy was not just a business decision, but a meaningful one. The same city where she made history is now where she hopes to help shape the future of the sport.

“Being here brings back so many memories,” she says. “And now to be able to pour back into this community, to create something positive for families and kids here, it just feels right.”

That full circle moment is now evolving into something new, a place where the next generation can discover their own strength, not just in gymnastics, but in life.

“I hope this becomes a place where kids feel loved, supported, and celebrated,” Dawes says. “Not judged, not compared, but encouraged to be their best.”

In the end, the legacy she is building has little to do with medals and everything to do with meaning.

Because for Dominique Dawes, success was never just about gold. It has always been about what comes after.

FLORAL MOMENT IN FULL BLOOM

The stunning floral arch featured on this month’s cover was created by Paul Porche-Riner of Stems On The Move, who designed the custom installation specifically for the photo shoot using more than 600 stems of fresh flowers in a vibrant spring color palette.

“We wanted to make sure we built something really special,” he says. “We knew she had probably seen a lot of red, white, and blue, so we chose colors that felt fresh, bright, and full of life.”

For Paul, the moment became even more meaningful once the arrangement was in place. “It was amazing to see someone so important to our national sports history, and truly my adolescence, standing there in front of my work,” he says. “She was so kind and generous and spent time talking about the beautiful flowers and how much they meant to her.”

Stems On The Move regularly creates custom floral installations for weddings, corporate events, private parties, and now editorial photo shoots.

"We love bringing big ideas to life."

A Voice Takes the Stage

Roswell High senior Rory Berg wins Georgia’s Poetry Out Loud championship set nationals in Washington, D.C.

When Roswell High School senior Rory Berg stepped onto the stage at Georgia’s Poetry Out Loud state finals, she wasn’t just reciting poetry she was bringing words to life. Her performance earned the title of 2026 Georgia state champion and the opportunity to represent the state at the national finals in Washington, D.C., April 27–29.

The competition took place March 6 on the new Goizueta Stage for Youth and Families at the Woodruff Arts Center, marking one of the closest contests in the program’s fouryear history at the Alliance Theatre. Sophia Meszaros of Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School was named runner-up, while Caroline Champney of Chattahoochee High School tied for runner-up and placed third.

For Berg, the experience reflects the deeper purpose of the program.

“I am honored to represent Georgia in this competition and have to thank my friends, family and peers for all their encouragement,” said. she “Poetry Out Loud gives each competitor a turn at the mic to speak from their own experience and the audience a chance to connect with those experiences in a way that is otherwise impossible.”

Presented nationally by the National Endowment for the Arts, Poetry Out Loud lifts poetry off the page and onto the stage. Since its launch in 2005, the program has engaged more than 4.5 million high school students nationwide, helping participants build confidence, strengthen public speaking skills, and deepen appreciation for poetry.

ARTICLE BY ROSWELL CITY LIFESTYLE

In Georgia, the program is administered by the Alliance Theatre in partnership with the Georgia Council for the Arts. During the 2025–2026 season, the initiative reached 28 schools and community organizations across the state, engaging more than 1,600 students and nearly 140 educators.

Students participating in Poetry Out Loud also have access to workshops and coaching sessions designed to help them rehearse, refine their performances, and develop their own interpretation of selected poems.

As Rory prepares to represent Georgia on the national stage, she joins a strong legacy of student performers. In the past eight years, Georgia champions have earned more than $45,000 in awards, with several placing among the nation’s top finalists.

Now, one Roswell senior will carry that tradition forward proving that the power of poetry is not only in the words on the page, but in the voice that brings them to life.

WHERE INNOVATION BEGAN: APPLE’S STORY COMES TO LIFE

MIMMS MUSEUM UNVEILS INSPIRE WITH A REUNION OF EARLY PIONEERS AND A SOLD-OUT FUNDRAISER CELEBRATING CREATIVITY AND LASTING IMPACT.

ARTICLE BY TRAN BUI PHOTOGRAPHY BY LUIS CONTRERAS, TOBY LIANG, RAPHAEL SARMENTO

The Mimms Museum of Technology and Art recently marked a milestone with two unforgettable events celebrating the debut of its newest exhibition, iNSPIRE: 50 Years of Innovation from Apple From a private reunion with early Apple pioneers to the sold-out BYTE26 fundraiser, the celebration offered a rare chance to experience history both remembered and still in the making.

The evening before the fundraiser, the museum hosted a private reunion and tour for several members of Apple’s earliest team inside the new space. Among the guests were Randy Wigginton, early Apple employee number six who joined the company in 1976 and worked on the Apple II and original Macintosh; Chris Espinosa, employee number eight and one of the company’s first employees, who began working with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976; George Crow, an early Apple engineer who was part of the original Macintosh development team; and Daniel Kottke, employee number twelve, who joined in 1977 and helped assemble and test some of Apple’s earliest computers. Also present was Ron Wayne, one of Apple’s three co-founders alongside Jobs and Wozniak. Several shared that the exhibition brought back powerful memories and was one of the best Apple collections they had ever seen.

Guests later filled the museum for BYTE26, the annual fundraiser, where attendees enjoyed an evening of dinner, dancing, and a lively auction while getting the first official look at the exhibition. FOX 5’s Paul Milliken served as emcee for the night. Former Apple CEO Gil Amelio received the Tech Catalyst Award, and Randy Wigginton was presented with the Heatherington Award for Technological Innovation, with both men also inducted into the Mimms Museum Hall of Fame.

Now open to the public, iNSPIRE: 50 Years of Innovation from Apple offers visitors a powerful look at the people, ideas, and risks that helped shape the digital age.

BECKY HILLYARD

From Side Hustle to Style Empire

The power of taste, trust, and the courage to “just start.”

She didn’t have a business plan, a media budget, or even a name anyone could pronounce. What Becky Hillyard had was taste, a young family, and the instinct to just start. Today, her lifestyle brand Cella Jane commands an audience the size of Vogue’s , she’s nine collections strong with Splendid, and she’s built it all while raising three kids — refusing to sacrifice one for the other. In an exclusive conversation for the Share the Lifestyle podcast, Becky shares what it really takes to build a brand, a career, and a life you love. Read the highlights below, then scan the QR code for the full conversation.

Q: WHEN DID YOU KNOW CELLA JANE WAS MORE THAN A HOBBY?

A: Two moments. Women started emailing me saying they bought something I recommended and felt amazing — asking me to help them find a dress for a wedding. That felt incredible. Then I looked at my affiliate numbers for one month and realized I could cover our mortgage. I thought, I can actually do this. I never set out to build a business. I started it because I genuinely loved it.

Becky in Splendid x @CellaJaneBlog Spring 2026 Collection

Q: WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST RISK YOU EVER TOOK WITH THE BRAND?

A: Designing my own collection. It’s easy to point at items on a website and say I love these. But to create something from scratch, put your name on it, and wait to see if people connect with it — that’s terrifying. I had an incredible partner in Splendid, and women loved the pieces. It was the biggest risk and the biggest accomplishment.

Q: HOW HAS INFLUENCER MARKETING CHANGED SINCE YOU STARTED?

A: When I started, brands didn’t know whether to take it seriously. Now it’s a legitimate line item in their marketing budgets — sometimes bigger than TV. Because what we’ve built is trust. People trust a real recommendation from someone they follow far more than a commercial. There’s no question about it now.

Q: YOU’RE A MOM OF THREE RUNNING A FULL BRAND. WHAT DOES YOUR DAY ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE?

A: I try to get up at five and not hit snooze — that first hour before the house wakes up is the most productive, most peaceful hour of my day. Then it’s all hands on deck with the kids and school drop-off. After that I work — planning content, connecting with my team, editing. After pickup, the day shifts completely and it’s all about them. I’ve learned to protect both halves fiercely, because both matter.

Q: WHAT WOULD YOU TELL SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO BUILD SOMETHING OF THEIR OWN BUT KEEPS WAITING?

A: Don’t wait. Don’t wait for the perfect camera, the right strategy, or enough followers. We find every excuse to stay comfortable. Just start, be consistent, and be authentically yourself. The right people will find you — and they’ll stay.

Leading With Purpose

Amy Gates Stroud brings vision, heart, and decades of leadership to North Fulton Community Charities

ARTICLE BY ROSWELL CITY LIFESTYLE

In communities built on connection and care, leadership matters and North Fulton Community Charities has found its next chapter in leader Amy Gates Stroud, Ph.D.

With nearly 30 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, she steps into the role of president with a clear sense of purpose: to strengthen the organization’s impact while continuing to serve as a vital lifeline for North Fulton families. NFCC has long been a cornerstone of the community, offering essential services ranging from food and clothing assistance to financial support and workforce development. Under Gates’ leadership, that mission is poised to grow even stronger. She arrives with a personal connection, her beloved uncle, Deacon Ed La House was a founding board member of NFCC and remained a passionate advocate of the organization until his death at age 92 in 2022.

Gates brings a unique blend of strategic insight and community passion. Most recently, she served in a senior leadership role focused on strategic partnerships and development within an Atlanta-based national nonprofit, 3DE, dedicated to advancing high school education. Her career also includes serving as the first executive director of the Roswell Arts Fund, where she helped shape the organization from the ground up. Her approach is both thoughtful and forward-looking— grounded in collaboration, innovation, and measurable impact. With a Ph.D. in public policy and administration, along with advanced degrees in education and speech-language pathology,

she has built her career around helping mission-driven organizations thrive.

Beyond her professional achievements, Gates is deeply rooted in the community she now serves, actively contributing her time and leadership across several local organizations.

As she steps into this new role, her focus is clear: build on NFCC’s strong foundation while expanding opportunities for individuals and families to achieve stability and long-term success.

Gates officially began her role last month, marking an exciting new chapter for both her and the organization and for the community that continues to rely on its support.

CELEBRATING INSPIRING WOMEN WHOSE LEADERSHIP, SERVICE, AND GENEROSITY ARE SHAPING A STRONGER, MORE CONNECTED COMMUNITY WE ASKED WOMEN LEADERS WHO ARE SHAPING OUR COMMUNITY TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ON LEADERSHIP, SUCCESS, AND GIVING BACK. THEIR ANSWERS REFLECT THE HEART OF ROSWELL. THEY OFFER INSIGHT INTO HOW WOMEN ARE HELPING DEFINE THE CULTURE AND FUTURE OF THIS COMMUNITY IN MEANINGFUL, LASTING WAYS

DEBUSSEY

ADMINISTRATOR, ROSWELL MOMS NETWORK (FACEBOOK)

What inspired your commitment to business leadership and giving back to community?

How do you define success today and how has that evolved as you’ve grown personally and professionally?

In a community like Roswell, what role do you believe women play in shaping its future and culture?

What advice would you give to the next generation of women who want to lead with both purpose and impact?

I moved to Roswell 19 years ago when I started my family. In some ways it felt isolating not knowing anyone in the community until my kids started school and local sports. When I would meet other young moms new to the area, they shared with me they felt the same way. My college roommate from UGA moved to Roswell a couple years later and we felt there was a need to help connect these women and families with each other whether it be for friendships or the best pediatrician! Roswell Moms Network really took off from there, growing rapidly to 11,000 members in our city.

If there is ever a mom or child in need, our incredible group of women really rise to the occasion and exceed all possible expectations. I can't tell you how many women stop me at our local grocery store or restaurant to share how much our page has helped them find friendships, the best Thai food or support for their local business.

Success for me has always been defined by attaining measured goals as I am a sales professional in the veterinary industry. Watching my local veterinarians open small businesses that flourish and serve our communities brings me a lot of joy. Personally, as a single mom, seeing my kids finish school and move on to the next stages of their lives is truly my greatest success. Teaching them to overcome obstacles on their own with integrity, empathy and perseverance has always been my goal. I have two really amazing kids, Addison and Colton, and they have helped me become the best version of myself.

If I've learned anything from the women in the Roswell Moms Network, it's that we can make a change and get things done! Did a package get dropped off at a random location and we only have a picture of a doormat and half of a door? It's identified and picked up in 15 minutes. But on a serious note, we have pushed for our moms to become aware and active in our local politics and voting. This

has really helped increase voter turnout and awareness of local issues that will impact our city for many years to come. We have three women who are city council members that are very active on our page and truly listen to the concerns from the residents and bring these suggestions to city hall.

Be a good listener and have an openness to other points of view. It's easy to "stay comfortable" and surround yourself with like minded people, but some of my greatest success has come from uncomfortable situations where I had to push myself or ask for help. And find yourself a great group of girlfriends because they will cheerlead your greatest success and pull you up when you fall down!

BIRDIE NIYOMKUN

TIPSY THAIGER, CO-OWNER, PRODUCT & EXPERIENCE DIRECTOR

I don't really see leadership and giving back as separate things. If you’re building something in a community, you naturally become part of it and I think a responsibility comes with that. When we chose Roswell, it just felt right. There’s so much heart here. People support each other, show up, and care. That made me want to create a space that evokes that same feeling. For me, it’s the little things: welcoming guests as if they were coming into your home, supporting local partners, and creating moments where people can connect. That’s what leadership looks like to me. It’s not loud, but it’s intentional.

Success used to feel very milestone driven—opening the restaurant, hitting goals, getting recognition. And of course, those things still matter. But now, success feels more like a feeling. It’s when the room is full, the team is in sync, and you see people genuinely enjoying themselves. It’s when everything just feels… aligned.

I think women bring a lot of intention into how spaces are created and how communities grow. We focus on connection, how people feel, how they experience something, how they come together. And in a place like Roswell, where there’s both growth and history, that really matters.

Start before you feel ready. Don’t underestimate yourself. Follow what your heart is pulling you toward, whether it’s something small or something big. Stay grounded in your values, and trust that your perspective matters. And don’t do it alone.

OWNER, INSURANCE AND OTHER RED TAPE

I’ve always believed that strong communities are built through service, support, and shared success. I’m passionate about uplifting fellow leaders in Roswell. By being a cheerleader for their growth because when local businesses thrive, our entire community flourishes.

Success, to me, is waking up each day knowing I’m making a meaningful difference. It’s grown from chasing achievements to valuing purpose while serving my clients with integrity, mentoring others, and contributing to my community. Now for me, the greatest success is seeing others thrive because of some way I was able to help them.

Women bring heart, vision, and strength to a community like Roswell. We have a natural gift to build relationships, support and nurture one another, and lead with purpose. When we pour into our businesses, our families, and each other, we help create a culture that is not only successful, but also connected and compassionate. I think women build a strong more connected community.

Stay true to your purpose and let it guide every decision you make. Lead with kindness but never mistake that for weakness. It is one of your greatest strengths. Be intentional in how you show up, consistent in your values, and confident and grounded in your worth. And always remember, the most meaningful impact you will ever have is not just in what you achieve, but in how many others you inspire, support, and help rise along the way. When we support each other, we all win!

ASHLEE KINBACK

DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, DERUCKI CONSTRUCTION

My commitment to leadership and giving back really comes from a belief that relationships are at the center of everything we do. In my role at Derucki Construction, I have the opportunity to help shape local developments that impact how people live, work, and connect, which is an incredibly rewarding experience. Roswell has such a strong sense of community, and I’ve been inspired by how people genuinely show up for one another. Whether through my work or supporting local initiatives, I believe leadership is about creating value for others and contributing to bigger than yourself.

Early in my career, I thought success was more about achievement, reaching milestones, growing professionally, and continuing to move forward. I also had the unique experience of being an NFL cheerleader, which taught me discipline, confidence, and how to perform under pressure at a young age. While those experiences shaped me, my perspective on success has evolved over time. Today, I define success more by the quality of my relationships and the impact I’m making. It’s about doing work I enjoy, building trust with the people I work alongside, and being someone others feel confident partnering with. It also means showing up as a wife and mother to my two girls, continuing to grow personally, and staying grounded in what matters most to me.

I would encourage them to trust their instincts and not feel like they have to follow a traditional path to achieve success. Some of the most impactful leadership comes from being authentic, building genuine relationships, and staying grounded in your values. Most importantly, remember that success isn’t just about what you achieve, rather how you show up for others along the way.

A Leader Rooted in Community Impact

LAURA LEGG REFLECTS ON SERVICE, PURPOSE, AND EMPOWERING ROSWELL WOMEN

ARTICLE BY LAURA LEGG

Meet Laura Legg: I am truly honored to have been asked and so grateful for the opportunity to represent the Roswell Woman’s Club as President. This community means a great deal to me, and I am excited to share my responses to the four questions below.

WHAT INSPIRED YOUR COMMITMENT TO BOTH LEADERSHIP AND GIVING BACK TO THE ROSWELL COMMUNITY?

It starts with how special this community is, which my family and I felt as soon as we moved to Roswell. It is a place where people genuinely care and get involved, and that energy is contagious. Being in a leadership role allows me to channel that energy into something meaningful, whether that is supporting local initiatives or creating opportunities for people to connect and give back. And when you truly love where you live, giving back does not feel like an obligation, it feels natural.

“Connect with others and invest in your community. The most impactful leaders bring people together and create space for more voices to be heard”

— LAURA LEGG

HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUCCESS TODAY—AND HOW HAS THAT EVOLVED AS YOU’VE GROWN PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY?

Success today feels a lot more grounded and personal than it used to. Earlier in my career, I measured success by external things, titles, achievements, and checking the next box. While these still matter, they are no longer the whole picture. Now, I think of success as staying true to my values and making a real difference. It is about showing up with purpose, building strong relationships, and knowing that what I am doing matters to both myself and others. As I have grown, I have come to value balance more. Success means achieving your goals while still having the capacity to be present, to give back, and enjoy the journey. I am especially grateful for the opportunity to lead the Roswell Woman’s Club; it has been a role that brings all these things together for me.

IN A COMMUNITY LIKE ROSWELL, WHAT ROLE DO YOU BELIEVE WOMEN PLAY IN SHAPING ITS FUTURE AND CULTURE?

A quote that beautifully sums it up from Kofi Annan is, “When women thrive, all of society benefits.” In a community like Roswell, women play a vital role in shaping both the future and the culture by serving as connectors, leaders, and advocates. Women are often at the center of building community by bringing people together through schools, nonprofits, local organizations, and small businesses. They help create a strong sense of connection and belonging that defines

a town like Roswell. Through their leadership, service, and ability to bring people together, women don’t just support the community, they help define its heart and direction for generations to come.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO THE NEXT GENERATION OF WOMEN WHO WANT TO LEAD WITH BOTH PURPOSE AND IMPACT?

I would strongly encourage the next generation of women to get involved in their community by leading with clarity, courage, and a strong sense of purpose. Take the time to understand what truly matters to you. Connect with others and invest in your community. The most impactful leaders bring people together and create space for more voices to be heard. I try to live by a simple principle: leave it better than it was before. To me, leadership is about making a positive difference and creating something others can build on. I am excited for the next generation of women leaders in Roswell, and I hope they continue to make it an even better place to live.

LEVEL HEADED, Purpose Driven

A ROSWELL-BASED, FEMALE-FOUNDED PRACTICE REDEFINING PERSONALIZED CARE THROUGH INNOVATIVE THERAPY, CONNECTION, AND A COMMITMENT TO WHOLE-BODY WELLNESS

Sarah and Daron

ARTICLE BY ROSWELL CITY LIFESTYLE

In a space where precision meets compassion, Level Headed stands apart—not only for its specialized approach to care, but for the women behind it. Founded and fully operated by Dr. Daron Blankenship and Dr. Sarah Luksik, this innovative practice redefines what personalized, patient-centered therapy can look like.

For Dr. Blankenship, the path to physical therapy began long before her formal education. As a child, she assisted with her younger brother’s in-home therapy sessions, gaining early exposure to the profound impact of hands-on care. That experience sparked a lifelong passion, leading her to the University of Georgia and ultimately to Duke University. It was during her training that she discovered her interest in temporomandibular disorders (TMD), blending her clinical expertise with her family’s background in dentistry.

Dr. Luksik’s journey was equally dynamic. Growing up on California’s central coast, she developed a love for movement and performance, later refining her skills through a sports medicine internship with Division I athletes. After earning her doctorate from Duke University, she pursued advanced training in vestibular therapy, craniofacial care, and manual techniques—specializing in helping patients navigate balance disorders, vertigo, and complex craniofacial conditions.

Together, they created Level Headed—a name that reflects both their philosophy and their purpose. Just as a level ensures balance, their work focuses on restoring harmony within the head, neck, and body through thoughtful, individualized care.

What truly sets their practice apart is the experience. As a female-owned and operated practice, they prioritize connection, giving every patient a full hour of one-onone care—something increasingly rare in today’s healthcare landscape. Patients also have direct communication with their providers, creating a more collaborative and supportive healing process.

Their expertise extends across highly specialized areas, including TMD therapy—often referred to as TMJ— which can impact everything from jaw pain and limited mobility to headaches, tinnitus, and post-surgical recovery. They also treat vestibular conditions tied to the inner ear, helping patients experiencing vertigo, dizziness, motion sensitivity, or unresolved BPPV find lasting relief.

With extensive continuing education, advanced diagnostic tools, and certifications in dry needling—performed on any muscle in the body—Dr. Blankenship and Dr. Luksik offer a level of care that is both comprehensive and deeply personalized.

Beyond their clinical work, both women balance thriving careers with full family lives, embodying the very balance they help their patients achieve.

At Level Headed, care is more than treatment—it’s connection. Through their work, these two women help their patients feel stronger, steadier, and truly supported—one thoughtful step at a time.

In Her Own Words

Anamika Pannu tells us about her award winning brand.

Parlour of Spice is a condiment brand I launched to honor my heritage, and my first product brings a unique yet versatile hot sauce to the market. It’s simple, all-natural, and bold. Like the best ideas, it came from

home. It pairs with everything and it is perfect on anything. The inspiration behind the brand comes from my parents. They left Trinidad so my sister and I could pursue our education and our dreams. The recipe — and my love for cooking — comes from my dad. My entrepreneurial spirit comes from my mom.

This idea lived in my head for years, but last year, something shifted - my brain, heart, and gut all aligned to give me the courage to leap into the unknown. Along the way, I kept receiving little signs that affirmed my decision. One of them was a version of the quote, “If not me, who? If not now, when?” This stayed with me and is one of many quiet affirmations that I was exactly where I needed to be.

This is more than a business. It is about building a legacy, showing my children what’s possible, and being an example that women can be multi-faceted and dynamic. Food has always been my love — not just for taste, but because sharing a meal is one of the few things in life that truly connects us and brings happiness. I am proud to share this hot sauce with everyone and remind people that a little bit of spice makes everything nice.

Celebrated for its vibrant, well-balanced heat, Parlour of Spice was honored at the Atlanta Hot Sauce Festival in with: 1st Place in Zesty and 3rd Place in Acid Fire.

Locally sold now exclusively at Westside Market and Roswell General.
