Join us Wednesday, April 7, from 10-11 a.m. EDT, for a special virtual keynote session with Gabrielle Melchionda, owner of Mad Gab’s.
A lifelong writer and storyteller, Gabrielle will talk about her personal relationship with inspiration and share how she pursues inspiration each day while running her 28-year-old business. The company’s tagline, “Creating joy and soothing skin,” reflects Gab’s values of bringing creativity, joy, and self-care into her work and personal life.
Throughout her journey, Gab has learned many lessons that she’ll share with us, and we’ll also learn how she is bringing creative practices to her work and how she works on her creative life at home—all while running a successful business, mentoring employees, raising kids, and engaging in communities to support other women and young girls.
