She’s one of Oklahoma’s leading micropigmentologists and has provided makeup work for celebrity clients like Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka and Alfre Woodard.

Chanel believes that whether she’s discussing racial injustice, nail polish color or anything in between, it’s important to consider the other person’s position and feelings. That perspective has made all the difference for everyone in her circle.

As a County Commissioner, Carrie knows she can only do so much. So she’s put her energy into not only her role, but creating a community of people more involved and engaged in government that will outlast the legacy she can leave on her own.

Bekah Barkocy
Whether working or resting, one thing Bekah is definitely doing is making everyone around her smile.
Bailey Perkins
Even spending most of her waking hours working on policy change and serving on local boards, Bailey knows she’ll never be able to enact change alone. Her workshops encourage young voters to build relationships with their lawmakers, enacting serious generational change.
