Artistic Director, Allison Retina LLC + Founder, Free Juice
Houston, Texas
I’m a Houston-based creative director, curator, and educator, and the author of Artist Vision: Planning With Intention, Not Burnout. For over a decade I’ve art directed and edited photography for brands like Meta, Nike, IBM, and the NBA. I founded Free Juice Inc., a nonprofit supporting emerging image-makers through mentorship and exhibitions, and I review portfolios and jury for FotoFest, ICP, Photolucida’s Critical Mass, PhotoNOLA, and Parsons. My talks come straight from that work: curating shows, mentoring artists, producing programs, and building a creative career that lasts. I speak honestly about vision, visibility, leadership, and burnout, and every session ends with tools people can use the next day. What I bring to a room: Practical tools. Planning frameworks, portfolio and positioning strategy, and systems that hold up over time. Honest conversation. The real questions about money, capacity, confidence, and growth. Cultural fluency. Care for how identity, legacy, and place shape creative work. A grounded presence. People feel safe enough to reflect and ask what they came to ask. I work with universities and art schools, artist programs, museums, cultural organizations, creative teams, and conferences.

Based in Los Angeles, I’m a writer and speaker exploring relationship dynamics, family life, and the everyday patterns that shape how we live, connect, and make decisions. My work is rooted in lived experience and careful observation, focusing less on advice and more on perspective—naming what people often feel but struggle to articulate. I speak and write about the quiet, invisible dynamics inside relationships, parenting, and personal growth, helping audiences better understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface of their daily lives. Through honest conversation and storytelling, I create space for reflection, clarity, and self-awareness. Rather than offering quick fixes or prescriptions, I highlight patterns, ask better questions, and bring language to experiences that often go unspoken. My goal is simple: to help people see their lives more clearly so they can move forward with greater intention, confidence, and understanding.

Sara Lohse doesn’t believe in big, dramatic origin stories. She believes in the small ones—the messy, honest, “you can’t make this up” moments that actually make people stop scrolling and start listening. (Yes, including the one about accidentally getting a very unfortunate tattoo in Ireland.) She’s the founder of Branded Media and Favorite Daughter Media, a podcast strategist, and the two-time award-winning author of Open This Book: The Art of Storytelling for Aspiring Thought Leaders. Her career has taken her from pun-driven campaigns at an ad agency to directing marketing for a financial firm to running a Signal Award-winning podcast production house—and she’ll tell you every single detour was exactly the point. Because everything happens for a story. Today, Sara works with business owners and consultants who want to use podcasting and thought leadership to build real trust—not manufacture hype. She produces mission-driven podcasts, develops brand voice, and coaches clients to turn everyday experiences into content that connects. She’s spoken on stages at FinCon Expo, PodFest Multimedia Expo, Speakonomics, and Outlier Podcast Festival, has been featured on dozens of business and entrepreneurship podcasts and in Authority Magazine, and can even be spotted on Netflix. Her superpower? Seeing stories where everyone else sees chaos.

Despite not having many examples of tangible Black male leaders in academia, I wanted to shape myself into the man that every young Black man needs to see to know exactly what’s possible. Whether guiding nursing students to NCLEX success, rebranding what it means to be a male nurse, counseling clients to reframe their perspectives for improved mental health, or building awareness around Black men's health and fertility, I have stepped up to the plate to change the narrative of what it means to be a Black male. I am a motivational speaker, Christian counselor, business owner, mentor, resume builder, mock interviewer, husband, and new father. I leaned on God more than ever to get my wife and I through our fertility journey. Such exploits are described in detail in my new book entitled Faith vs Fertility. My mission is to motivate people to do the unthinkable and walk towards the unimaginable. Many times, people already have the goods, they’re just unaware how to use them to their advantage. I’m an avid believer that once a person sets a goal for themselves, anything is possible. Let’s continue to build, grow, learn, surrender negative thinking, and embrace God’s will and plan for our lives. Get comfortable in the unknown and dare to be the difference you want to see.
