About Ella Stidham

I’m a Kingsport/Johnson City local and I’ve started my own marketing business. I got my start in marketing through a local school program and now have over 2 years of experience in the field at 19 years old. I have many different clients ranging from individuals running pop up shops to 65mil a year corporations. I’m also a proud Tennessean. I take lots of pride in living in the Tri-Cities and wouldn't leave for anything! Everyone who knows me knows that I love this town with my whole heart!

Explore innovative learner-driven education with Sarah Fagerberg, founder of Acton Academy Johnson City. Discover how this model fosters critical thinking, resilience, and purpose in children, challenging traditional schooling paradigms.

This is for every parent in the Tri-Cities who has quietly wondered if there's a better way to school, and didn't know one existed right in their backyard. I can speak to what learner-driven education actually looks like day-to-day, why the traditional school model struggles to develop agency and initiative, and what it means for a community when children are raised to know their calling rather than just pass a test.

Jill Bickford is the co-owner of Natural Foods Market, a family-owned health food store dedicated to making a heartfelt difference in the lives of customers and the community by providing products and resources that promote healthy lifestyles.

Natural Foods Market’s vision is to create an environment where all staff and customers feel encouraged, educated, and empowered to take control of their health and wellness journey.

Natural Foods Market is celebrating our 45th year in business and with that our focus has been carrying out our vision for the store - mainly through education. We have always done a lot of staff education, and this year brought back our in-store community centered education.

What started as a proposed 4 event series has turned into an almost monthly series. June 9th is our next Community experience where we will have Yoland Mabry, a holistic nurse practitioner, speak to guests. "Continuing the Conversation: Healthy habits and Cancer support". We call this series "VIP Shopping Experience and Community Lecture" It is a ticketed event where we close the store at 6 and only reserved tickets are part of the evening event. We start with a meal and the conversation of topic followed by exclusive/discounted shopping.
