OneTouch Events Atlanta

Sometimes you gotta pop out and show ’em…or whatever Kendrick said 😜

When states “Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life,” she means it.

We kicked off the 2026 quarterly journey of intentionally curated events in Jacksonville with a group ready to design their next personal and business development goals.

With ocean sounds at their footsteps, and a comfortable environment to dream, the deep work happened.

Intimate events of 50 or less hit different.

Hosts get more direct touchpoints with their clients for the deep work.

Attendees work in small groups with meaningful conversations that actually move the implementation needle and not just hearing from a talking head in a sea of a thousand.

We love the model of quarterly intimate events paired with an annual (or bi-annual) flagship conference to broaden brand impact across targeted regions.

2 down, 6 more meaningful impact events to go.

✨ILLUMINATING FUTURES ✨

We had the honor of designing the 21st annual Starfish Ball for at the stunning - a night celebrating scholars, hope, and the transformative power of education.

In a short turn, we embraced a jeweled tone color palette, centering on monochromatic emerald green, playful pops of plum, and metallic golds to introduce a fresh design in a familiar space while fully embodying the theme through intentional design.

From a glowing mix of vintage and modern lamp installations to hundreds of flickering candles, and one of the many highlights of the night, our custom illuminated shadow boxes highlighting sponsors and signature entrance photo moment encapsulated in LED — every element was crafted to symbolize the bright paths ahead for nsoro’s incredible scholars.

🤯 -11.8% Margin. Why leaning into your numbers is important.

It’s February 1st, and we’re looking at our first month-end report of the year.

What it reconfirmed? One of our lowest-booked services is also severely underpriced. 📉

When you see the data, no lie, it stings. It’s frustrating.

And It’s empowering. It’s reaffirming.

We planned to sunset certain services, and now I can confidently say we’re no longer promoting that service.

And in the extremely rare occurrence that we do, it will be priced accordingly!

Numbers don’t lie. They just wait for you to listen.

I miss having these 1:1 conversations with new and budding service providers in our industry.

This is exactly the kind of work we dig into together: pricing, margins, service structures, and building a business that actually sustains you.

Should I open my coaching calendar this month? Send me a DM if you’re interested, or tag someone who needs a kickstart in 2026.

And yes, our 2026 pricing is in full effect! Happy Black History Month!

The Weather Decision: The hardest call to make.

This week, the entire country has been on ice/snow/rain watch.

We’re trusting the science, the regional models, the European models, and my personal favorite: the “Grandma’s knee stiffens” model.

Over the past two weekends, weather has affected three of our events.

Last weekend in Florida: Record winds and rain forced outdoor activations inside. Room flips, attendee communication, and hustle. Minor adjustments, but no one had to fight wind in the middle of vinyasa flow.

This week in Georgia: The ice storm affected two events. For those of us in Atlanta in 2014, the PTSD is real .

Event 1: Cancelled flights → pivoted to hybrid.

Event 2: Full postponement → thousands in losses.

The weight of weather calls is heavier than most imagine.

Beyond financial loss, we’re considering stranded guests, staff unable to reach venues, dangerous roads, and worst case, loss of life.

Here’s the point:
Event strategists are equipped to make real-time decisions that affect safety, budgets, and success. This is why you need experienced decision-makers in the room, not just people waiting for instructions.

When weather (or any crisis) hits, you need strategists who can pivot fast and protect your investment.

Be kind to your event teams. Even meteorologists have to shift with the models. So do we.

What’s the toughest weather call you’ve had to make?

2016: where Blush, Antique Gold and Cascading everything had us in a chokehold.

…and Drake was in his bag.

#2016

2025, The Year that kept us on Swivel!

From groundbreaking debuts and record smashing attendance goals.

To canceled programs due to funding cuts and rescinded corporate support.

Or was that just us? 🤔

We stood 10 toes down with every win and every realigned scope with our clients.

✨Strategy sessions turned into collective support circles.
✨Design discussions turned into virtual dance parties.
✨Room transitions spurred attendee wonderment.
✨Cross teamwork strengthened skillsets & partnerships.

I am immensely proud of what the OneTouch Team has accomplished.

The work has grown to be deeper, meaningful, inspiring, challenging, and hella fun!

And we’re only at the tip of the iceberg of what is waiting for us in 2026.

To our clients, your trust, dedication, and support mean the world to us. We wouldn’t be here without you. Thank you!

With the guiding principle that Success is our Birthright, it’s time lock in, and go after 2026 like the overachievers that we are!

“In Pursuit of Joy”…Nailed it! 🧡

This was the guiding theme for Wellness Weekend 2025 and joy, along with education, community, connection, inspiration and a whole lot of dancing was accomplished over 3 fruitful days!

This conference continues to grow as this year, the organization has not only supported Black Women living with MS but have welcomed thrivers with Lupus and NMOSD. More stories shared, more connections made, and a larger community coming together with intention and love. Watching the impact expand for now our 4th year is a reminder of why this work matters so much.

We’re incredibly grateful to continue planning this We Are ILL Wellness Weekend, alongside the visionary and founder Victoria Reese Brathwaite and the We Are ILL team, partners, supporters and those that champion this work from afar. With 2025, we’ve learned that every year gets better, and it’s an honor to help bring this vision to life!

On to the next one…2026 we see you! and ready to go “Beyond Limits”!

Reflecting on those early years when I wore every single hat, with one goal:

…to never do it all alone.

Those first few years were equally rough and rewarding. Look at that baby face, full of ambition and determination ☺️.

Friends and family filled in the gaps back then, and for that I am forever grateful.

Over 14 years, some incredible people have come through Team OTE.

And this 2025 team? They embody our core values daily—managing clients and projects, handling operations, keeping our finances tight, and ensuring we’re protected legally. 💪🏽

I had a vision in 2011, leaving a very comfortable but unfulfilling corporate career, but I never knew how far we’d go.

What I do know? Our team is petite and powerful. 💙

(Shoutout to the bubbles—the Avengers can never be in a single place at one time. Remote doesn’t mean absent. You’re always an instrumental part of this work. 🫧)
