One of Sandra Garcia’s first learned skills was writing, a love for which she has carried through to present day. As a child, she cared equally about world issues, and her passions led to her finish a degree in English Literature and Film Studies, publish numerous poetry and film reviews, and start a career in Public Relations. After nearly two years, she knew that the corporate world wasn't for her, and started her freelance PR business in 2008. Later that year, she started a journey to living an eco lifestyle and becoming nearly vegan after watching a life-changing documentary called Earthlings.
In 2011, a serendipitous series of events re-awakened her consciousness of her place in the world and the passions she had as a child. An idea she had two years prior returned: a business that reflected her values rather than one that reflected a successful image. She then decided that 2012 was the right time to launch the Conscious PR brand and use her storytelling skills to join and forward the already growing conscious movement.
Sandra Garcia was raised in Vancouver BC and is a member of LOCO BC and the Vancouver Chapter of eWomen Network. She is a founding Board member of the Vancouver Short Film Festival, having seen and programmed 7 years worth of short films. She has served on the Board of the Projecting Change Film Festival and is a contributing blogger on HelloVancity.com. She is also partner in Rescued Clothing Company, which was launched in Fall 2014 with her sister Sarah.

Alyse Black started out belting Billie Holiday, Beatles, and Bob Dylan tunes a cappella on the streets of Pike Place Market in Seattle. Since then, she's performed on NPR, recorded a commercial for Target, moved to Austin, won Billboard's Annual Songwriting Contest, had several songs placed in movies and TV shows, and toured the country playing over 700 clubs, theaters, festivals, television shows and radio stations.

A provocative, ambitious, and engaging producer, Adryenn Ashley has
taken the independent film community by storm with groundbreaking
documentary and feature projects. She has never been shy about
tackling a hard subject or a controversial fire storm.

independent projects to produce. Her first feature, Metal, was shot
in just 8 days in the rough neighborhood of Hunter's Point, San
Francisco. Ashley's production of this gritty and dramatic portrayal

and awards at festivals worldwide. It premiered, and was a critical
favorite, at the Mill Valley Film Festival, won the Jury Prize at the
Pan African Film Festival, and Best Picture at the Seattle Underground
Film Festival and continued to win prizes around the globe for 2
years.
Her IMDB is stacked with other juicy projects and at present, Ashley
has four television shows in pre-production with her company, 21st
Century Pictures Group, and is venturing back in front of the camera
to host The F Word. She is also the founder of Crowded Reality, the
world's first crowdfunding platform for reality tv and talk shows that
gives content creators the ability to not only fan-fund their pilot,
but attract sponsors and distribution as well.

Dynamic performer, brilliant songwriter, engaging speaker & and highly sought-after coach. Those are just few things fans of Kit Holmes have to say about her. She’s been wowing audiences around the country with her “musical keynotes” which seamlessly blend an empowering message within equally powerful and soul-shifting songs.
These songs convey a lot of humor (and compassion) for spiritual beings having very human experiences. Kit affectionately dubs her music “piano-driven Americana” which effectively encompasses jazz, pop, R&B, folk and even some New Age. The genres run the gamut but its Kit soulful and authentic voice that ties them all together.
Her latest album “Look Closer” has just gone into production. A Kickstarter campaign launched on Tuesday, April 5, 2016 so the project can stay on schedule to release in June 2016. This will be Kit’s 6th CD of original songs. She’s recording at the renowned Blue Rock Artist Ranch and Studios in Wimberley, TX.

One of Sandra Garcia’s first learned skills was writing, a love for which she has carried through to present day. As a child, she cared equally about world issues, and her passions led to her finish a degree in English Literature and Film Studies, publish numerous poetry and film reviews, and start a career in Public Relations. After nearly two years, she knew that the corporate world wasn't for her, and started her freelance PR business in 2008. Later that year, she started a journey to living an eco lifestyle and becoming nearly vegan after watching a life-changing documentary called Earthlings.
In 2011, a serendipitous series of events re-awakened her consciousness of her place in the world and the passions she had as a child. An idea she had two years prior returned: a business that reflected her values rather than one that reflected a successful image. She then decided that 2012 was the right time to launch the Conscious PR brand and use her storytelling skills to join and forward the already growing conscious movement.
Sandra Garcia was raised in Vancouver BC and is a member of LOCO BC and the Vancouver Chapter of eWomen Network. She is a founding Board member of the Vancouver Short Film Festival, having seen and programmed 7 years worth of short films. She has served on the Board of the Projecting Change Film Festival and is a contributing blogger on HelloVancity.com. She is also partner in Rescued Clothing Company, which was launched in Fall 2014 with her sister Sarah.

independent projects to produce. Her first feature, Metal, was shot

of a poor black family in turmoil went on to receive stellar reviews
and awards at festivals worldwide. It premiered, and was a critical
favorite, at the Mill Valley Film Festival, won the Jury Prize at the
Pan African Film Festival, and Best Picture at the Seattle Underground
Film Festival and continued to win prizes around the globe for 2
years.
Her IMDB is stacked with other juicy projects and at present, Ashley
has four television shows in pre-production with her company, 21st
Century Pictures Group, and is venturing back in front of the camera
to host The F Word. She is also the founder of Crowded Reality, the
world's first crowdfunding platform for reality tv and talk shows that
gives content creators the ability to not only fan-fund their pilot,
but attract sponsors and distribution as well.
