PANEL: THE BREAKING POINT

Geovanna: Former owner of Up All Night Ink. She chose to close her doors to open a new chapter of mental clarity and redefined success.
Rita Forte: Owner of The Olive Street Agency. Offering a vital perspective on navigating a high-demand physical job while recovering from a broken foot - and the boundaries that saved her .
Join us for an unfiltered look at mental health, physical recovery, and the reality of life in decorated apparel.
ONE-ON-ONE CHAT: BUILDING POWER IN AN INDUSTRY THAT WASN’T BUILT FOR US
📢 After we wrap up our morning panel, join us right after the lunch break for a powerful, one-on-one afternoon session with Johana Marin (@casa.lulo).
Originally from Colombia, Johana’s entrepreneurial path started with a swimwear brand alongside her sisters before she branched out on her own. She built Casa Lulo from the ground up, moving from printing on a borrowed press in her garage to opening a collaborative community storefront in Orange County. For Johana, apparel isn't just about fashion—it’s a canvas for self-expression, community fundraising, and spreading a message of kindness and inclusion. ✨
In this moderated chat, we’re diving into the real journey: how her upbringing and lived experiences with discrimination shaped her path, and how she translates those challenges into heart-centered leadership and business resilience.
