Keynote by Tatiana Lee
Tatiana Lee is an award actress, international model, and activist. Growing up in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, Lee felt unseen in popular media – and when she told people of her ambitions to be an actress and model, they laughed. Notwithstanding, Lee moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career. She learned to harness social media’s power to speak boldly about accessibility and inclusion in mass media due to the lack of access and opportunities for herself and others with disabilities.
Margaret Lake is a producer, professional fundraiser, consultant, public speaker, published writer, film programmer, concert programmer, on-air radio host, and event producer. Early in 2015 Lake founded an International and National Theater Consulting Business, Theater Doctors. In 2016 Lake took over the company and is now the sole owner. Lake is also founder of MarWin Films established in 2017 and is spearheading raising capital for a new film fund.
