    Lucia Flores-Wiseman of the Voice
    Apr 7 2025
    Growing up with both White and Hispanic heritage, Lucia struggled to connect with her Mexican roots as she was raised away from that side of her family. Determined to embrace her lineage, she became fluent in Spanish while studying abroad in Spain. As a passionate music lover raised in Washington state, Lucia was particularly influenced by Brandi Carlile. A chance encounter in 2018, while Lucia was helping set up for Brandi's rehearsal at her high school, led to an impromptu singing session with one of the band members. Brandi overheard Lucia's talent and invited her to perform at a fundraiser concert. Today, Lucia performs regularly at local festivals and recently achieved a milestone by headlining her first show.

    Steve Williams, Tiger Woods' longtime caddy & author of Together We Roared
    Apr 1 2025
    ABOUT TOGETHER WE ROARED

    Steve Williams, arguably the greatest caddie in golf history, teams up with renowned golf journalist Evin Priest to give his definitive account of his 12-year partnership with the legendary Tiger Woods, sharing personal, never-before-told moments of their friendship on and off the course. When Tiger Woods went on an extraordinary majors run between 1999 and 2008, one man stood at his side: his caddie Steve Williams. Together Steve and Tiger dominated the PGA Tour and won an astonishing 13 major championships, their sights set on breaking Jack Nicklaus's record 18 majors. Before they could overtake Nicklaus, however, their partnership ended abruptly, and a 12-year period without talking began. Years later, the two reconnected. Steve, with PGA Tour journalist Evin Priest, reflects fondly on his years as Tiger's caddie and their relentless pursuit of greatness. He revisits all their best moments, from Tiger's iconic shot on the 16th hole at the 2005 Masters to the famed Tiger Slam of 2000 and 2001, to his against-the-odds victory on a broken leg at the 2008 US Open. Steve goes behind the scenes of their on-course success and shows their friendship off the course, like Tiger caddying for Steve on his wedding day and Tiger giving a heartfelt best man speech. Steve also shares fascinating, never-before-seen photos and ephemera. Together We Roared offers an inside look at what it is like to ride alongside greatness and is a heartfelt ode to the friendship that produced one of the winningest duos in golf history.

    ABOUT STEVE WILLIAMS

    Steve Williams is widely regarded as one of the greatest caddies in golf history. Originally from New Zealand, he has carried the clubs for Peter Thomson, Greg Norman, Ian Baker-Finch, Ray Floyd, Adam Scott, and Tiger Woods. During his time with Woods, the golfer won more than 80 tournaments worldwide, including 13 major championships. In 2014, Steve was inducted into the Caddie Hall of Fame by the Western Golf Association.

    Mar 29 2025
    Thomas Wilson, a passionate storyteller and advocate from Manchester, New Hampshire, has faced the challenges of mental health struggles, bullying, and navigating a system that often failed to support neurodiversity.

Through the written word, he discovered a place where he was not defined by limitations but by the limitless potential of his imagination.

    Throughout his journey, Thomas endured the weight of judgment from those who should have been his greatest supporters. Yet, while others saw his diagnosis as a flaw, he found hope and purpose in storytelling. The power of narratives inspired him to speak, to share, and to recognize his own worth.

His dedication led him to roles within agencies that valued his expertise, allowing him to break free from past traumas and ignite a fire of inspiration in those around him. As a mentor, he helped young people develop a love for reading and supported individuals on their paths to independence. His journey also led him to become a peer specialist, further solidifying his role as a guiding force for others.

    Now, Thomas is embarking on a new chapter, bringing his passion for storytelling into the world of Dungeons & Dragons. Leveraging his experience as a group facilitator, educator, and mentor, he is using the power of immersive storytelling to foster community, connection, and personal growth. By designing meaningful experiences, he is helping others navigate their own journeys, redefining pathways that accommodate diverse needs.
