When you find gold, you want it on your team.

Forever Lights is grateful to have women like Krishna who join us in telling a powerful story about women’s flag football, by women, for women, and for everyone in between.

Welcome to Forever Lights, Krishna Lee. ✨

What would happen if…

In the late 90s, an artsy teenager who doesn’t think she belongs in sports discovers she has the arm of a pro quarterback and makes an unbreakable promise that forces her into the spotlight…

You’ll have to watch the movie to find out. ;)

A feature film by writer/director Stacey Nation.

For generations, @stlzoo has been part of this community. Now, something even bigger is taking shape! We’re proud to announce the Saint Louis Zoo "Better Wild, Better World" campaign video.
🦓 🦒 🦍 🐘 🐯

The Saint Louis Zoo has raised over $152 million in private investments in their $170 million goal, leaving just under $18 million remaining for the public phase of the campaign. Big ideas don’t stay ideas for long when the right partners are involved.

This #campaignvideo isn’t just something you watch, it’s something you feel. You can be part of the dream, too. Built with the #SaintLouisZoo, narrated by Joe Buck, take a look at how one bold decision expands a legacy.

“Dreams aren’t just lofty ambitions, they are the truest expression of who we are.”

I’m thankful every day for the privilege to follow my dreams. It takes a tremendous amount of dedication, patience, and grit to handle the rollercoaster of freelance life, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thank you to the sweet anonymous little rascal who turned Voyage STL onto my story, and to the magazine for following through to interview me. And thank you to everyone who has supported my dreams to tell stories as a writer/director.

🎬 Behind-the-Scenes with Indigo 🎬

Why are people in towels?

You’ll have to wait for the full #womeninmotionSTL commercial to find out, but we can share this—it’s all about taking the time to slow down and be good to your body, a central message in this campaign.

Anne, the owner of Indigo Massage & Wellness, even stopped by the set to give our actors tips on how to perform during the meditation scene, showing them how important it is to be fully present and connected.

So, this Sunday, take a deep breath, relax, and remember to give yourself the care you deserve.

Appreciate the art of relaxation, hit that heart and stay tuned for the full commercial in TWO days!

🎬 Behind-the-Scenes with Assassin Vintage 🎬

Want in on a little secret? All of the retro wardrobe you see in this #womeninmotionSTL campaign was supplied by Assassin Vintage.

Prior to the shoot, Tammy and Kay spent days pulling just the right outfits to compliment each set. The final selects on the day and the extra special sprinkle of accessories that completed each look was styled by the ever-talented Vivian Ogier. The wardrobe was a central element of pulling off the vintage-inspired production design and we couldn’t be more happy with the results.

Tell us how we did in the comments!!✨⬇️✨

Express your love for all things retro by hitting that heart and keep tracking our countdown to the full commercial launch October 22!
