Lawyers are not businessmen. They are not salesmen (well not very good ones, anyway) or business development professionals. Don’t even get me started on how bad lawyers are in marketing themselves. But a good lawyer, no… a great lawyer needs to be all of these things and more. This is where I come in. My name is Camisha Simmons and I am the managing partner and founder of Simmons Legal PLLC, a certified woman-owned, minority-owned and veteran-owned transactional and civil dispute, resolution and litigation law firm dedicated to assisting debtors, creditors and other parties in protecting their assets in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, distressed debt workout, financing transaction and/or litigation matters. But this is just my day job (and I am really good at it!). In 2013, Texas Lawyer named me to its inaugural list of Legal Leaders on the Rise. I have also been named a Texas Rising Star for three consecutive years (2014 through 2016) by SuperLawyers®, a Thomson Reuters rating service. Additionally, in 2015, the National Black Lawyers named me a “Top 40 Under 40” attorney. In addition to excelling in the practice of law, I enjoy and am passionate about networking and business development. I also enjoy teaching others how to, as I have, embrace the world of business development and the art of networking. As an Affiliate Professor of Law at UNT Dallas College of Law, I work directly with new and upcoming lawyers in understanding and mastering the critical skills needed to excel in today’s already saturated market place. Additionally, I love working with companies throughout a wide variety of industries, including the Oil & Gas, Investment, Health Care, Real Estate, and Banking/Financial Services industries. I am regularly asked to speak on and contribute my expertise and experiences on a wide variety of topics at industry specific conferences, workshops and panel discussions. Some of my customized presentations include… “Unique Issues Involved in Oil & Gas Bankruptcies & Restructurings”; “Assuring e-Discovery Does Not Become an e-Disaster”; “How ‘Obama-Care’ is Impacting Small Businesses”; “Privacy and Data Protection in Bankruptcy” and “Is Easier Dismissal the Better Part of Jurisprudence?”…just to name a few. As the fifth of my mother’s 11 children growing up in Victoria, TX, I learned the value of hard work and pursuing a goal until it is achieved. That lesson contributed greatly to my success in the US Army and completing my Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees from Texas Tech University (I completed both degrees at the same time and graduated Magna Cum Laude). Additionally, I hold an MEd in Counseling and Personnel Services from University of Maryland College Park; and BBA from Campbell University. I am licensed to practice law in Texas and New York, with a principal office in Dallas, Texas and by-appointment only in New York, New York.

Traveling Hermit. Author, Spiritual Guide, and Ordained OneSpirit Minister
United Kingdom

Lauren Gabrielle Foster is an author, spiritual guide, and ordained OneSpirit Minister who sold everything at fifty-eight and set out to wander the globe with purpose. Now sixty, she writes, teaches, and speaks from wherever she happens to be, drawing on decades of study and a life rebuilt entirely from the inside out. Her work sits at the intersection of spirituality, identity, and freedom. Not as theory. As lived practice. She spent ten years alone in the Appalachian mountains after walking away from corporate life, and has since traveled to more than seventeen countries, leading communities and teaching practices that help women find their own authority rather than following someone else's. She is the creator of Everyday Magic: The Sacred Ordinary, a Substack publication and membership community for women in the second half of life who are done with dogma but not done with depth. Her book, Happy and Free on Purpose, is a guide to mastering your own perspective and crafting a life entirely your way. Her talks draw on training in breathwork, interfaith ministry, ancestral healing, meditation, and nature-based practice. She holds additional certifications in meditation teaching, life mastery coaching, and ancestral health, but mostly she draws on what actually happened. The corporate years. The decade of solitude. The moment she sold her last possession and bought a plane ticket. What she found when she stopped performing a life and started creating one. She speaks to women who already sense they have been living someone else's story. Her job is not to convince them. It is to show them what true sovereignty feels like.
