TEDxMarksville Women's Inaugural Event Set for August with a Mission to Change the Narrative

Marksville is making history with its first-ever TEDx event: TEDxMarksville Women, happening on Sunday, August 24, 2025, at The Fox Theatre at 2:00 PM.
This groundbreaking event will bring bold, transformative conversations to the heart of Louisiana, centering women's voices and lived experiences under the powerful theme, "Changing the Narrative."

Organized under the global TEDx license, TEDxMarksville Women aims to ignite new possibilities for how women in small towns, rural communities, and underrepresented spaces are seen, heard, and valued. Speakers will include dynamic storytellers, educators, entrepreneurs, activists, artists, and community leaders who are reshaping the world by shifting the way stories are told - and who gets to tell them.

"We are rewriting the script for what leadership, strength, and vision look like in our communities," said Ashley A. Love, event organizer and founder of IAmSimplyBeautiful Global. "TEDxMarksville Women is more than a stage, it's a statement. We're celebrating the power of voice, truth, and courage to change the future."

The event will feature 8-10 featured speakers, cultural performances, and an immersive experience that honors creativity, inclusion, and Southern hospitality. Attendees will walk away feeling energized, empowered, and ready to create change - in their own lives and in the world around them.
