What They Wish They’d Known
At 30, 40, 50, and beyond
An evening of conversation, reflection, and real perspective
Hosted by The Chloe
In partnership with StyleBlueprint
There are things you only learn by living.
The relationships that change you.
The risks that reshape you.
The truths that take years to finally understand.
On April 29, TEDxNashville Women invites you into an intimate fireside conversation with women who have lived through those turning points—and are ready to share what they now know to be true.
Hosted in the living room of The Chloe, this won’t feel like a panel.
It will feel like being part of a conversation you didn’t know you needed.
Featuring
Cassie Kelley is a Nashville native, mom to sons Ward and Archer, and passionate advocate for children and St. Jude’s Hospital. Wife to Lady A’s Charles Kelley, she gives her Instagram followers a genuine peek behind the curtain, from life on the road to quiet mornings on her backyard patio. But what truly sets Cassie apart is her willingness to go beyond the highlight reel, tackling life’s harder, messier moments with honesty, vulnerability, and heart.
Nicky Weaver Cheek is a Nashville philanthropist and civic leader whose commitment to this city runs deep. The YWCA’s Weaver Domestic Violence Center, Tennessee’s largest emergency shelter for survivors of domestic violence, bears her family’s name, and she led the grassroots fundraising campaign that secured its long-term financial future. A 2018 YWCA Academy for Women of Achievement honoree, Nicky has dedicated her life to uplifting women, children, and families across Middle Tennessee.
Kimberly Lewis is the former owner of Emerson Grace, the beloved 12 South boutique she built into Nashville’s premier fashion destination, which she sold earlier this year. Born in Hawaii, she moved to Southern California, where she honed her fashion chops at Ralph Lauren and BCBGMAXAZRIA, growing BCBG’s retail operations from zero to 100 stores before trading the corporate world for something entirely her own. Following the sale of Emerson Grace, she remains connected to the industry through her private consulting for retail and wholesale brands. Her daughter, Lauren is also involved in the fashion industry, currently working in New York for a prominent denim brand. Kimberly’s motto? Know your worth — and wear great jeans.
