Luminary, a global professional education and networking platform for women and allies, provides unparalleled access to tools, resources, high-impact programs, and events, along with a vibrant global community spanning all phases of a career. HeyMama was launched 10 years ago by co-founder Amri Kibbler. Together with CEO Erika Hanafin, they have built a thriving network of career-driven mothers—entrepreneurs, executives, advisors, and creators—offering best-in-class educational and networking events to equip working moms with the skills and support they need to thrive Together, Luminary and HeyMama share a common vision of investing in our networks, our brands, and our businesses to unlock our full potential. This shared purpose has brought us to this exciting new chapter, where two communities committed to empowering women come together as one. Over the past six years, Luminary and HeyMama have partnered in countless ways, from coworking days to co-curated events and programs. This acquisition exemplifies how focusing on collaboration over competition can create transformative opportunities for our communities.

The idea for HeyMama was born from a vision to create something greater than myself—a vibrant, empowering community where moms can connect authentically, thrive personally, and excel professionally. Throughout this journey, I’ve witnessed the awe-inspiring power of women coming together to uplift one another. It’s not just about networking—it’s about building a sanctuary where every mom is seen, supported, and emboldened to chase her dreams unapologetically. Join Erika Hanafin and me as we dive into the transformative strength of community on #MadeForImpact with Gretchen Schott. We explore how fostering connection can inspire moms to lead with confidence and purpose.
