SUMMARY:O'Fallon Chapter Meeting - Finding your Community through Neighborhood\, Networking\, and Noodles
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nSpeaker: Sonali Alluri\nTopic: Finding your Community through Neighborhood\, Networking\, and Noodles\nWhere: Bella Milano – 455 Regency Park O’Fallon\, IL 62269\nMonday\, May 19\, 2025 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST\nSonali Reddy Alluri\, M.P.H is an advocate for behavioral health\, reproductive justice\, and equity for underserved communities. She is a 2023-2025 national fellow for Govern for America and is the Health Policy Advisor for the Saint Louis County Executive’s Office advising on best practices for mitigating the opioid epidemic. She is a consultant for various non-profit\, private\, and academic institutions on various fields including community program planning\, epidemiology\, and teen mental health. \nSonali is a mentor for the International Mentoring Program (IMP) which helps support international women to succeed personally and professionally in the region. She recently assisted in proclaiming International Mentoring Day on October 27 in Saint Louis County. She is an ambassador for a women-owned company that advocates for diversity and burn survivors. She collaborates with Aspire Advocates\, a non-profit for behavioral health and substance use disorders for adolescents\, and helped to establish the “You Are Loved” initiative for County employees to provide positive messages to show teens they are “no more than an arms length from someone who loves them” and helped proclaimed September 4 as “You Are Loved” Day in Saint Louis County. \nSonali is originally from the East Coast\, born in Boston and raised in New Jersey\, but has lived in Miami and the Caribbean who recently moved to St. Louis when the opportunity to oversee the opioid epidemic program planning presented itself. When she’s not connecting with the community\, you may find her heading off to her next travel adventure\, hosting a dinner party for her friends\, or at the local farmers market searching for fresh baked bread. \nNavigating any new territory is difficult\, especially if you feel like you’re doing it alone. Being a woman or a person of color or neurodivergent (or hey all three of you’re like me!) can feel overwhelming and like the world isn’t built for you – mainly because it wasn’t – but that doesn’t mean we can’t rebuild it in our vision and join together with the people who look through the same lenses. \nMoving to a new place\, getting a new job\, or even trying a new skill can certainly be daunting and yet sometimes it’s redefining yourself in an environment you’ve known your whole life that is almost debilitating – you have to fight the norms and actively push boundaries to become who you’ve always known yourself to be but weren’t given the chance to do so\, be it from yourself or others. \nWhat does community mean to you? Do you have a community of people that you can rely on? Do community and family mean the same thing to you? \nWe will have a conversation answering these questions and more on what you would like your community to look like and how to get there. \nPresentation takeaways: \n– Creating a home away from home and feeling more comfortable in your own neighborhood \n– Experiencing new culture and cuisine that will help connect you to the local environment \n– How to adapt to a new town\, city\, or country through organized spontaneity (there is a method to the madness)[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]Contact this Speaker Directly:\nSonali Alluri\, Health Policy Advisor with Globex Consulting \nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonali-alluri-mph-18898a7a?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app \nEmail: sonalireddyalluri@gmail.com \nPhone Number: 908-305-0430[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nAll chapter meetings are FREE for anyone to attend.  YES!  You read that right. \n\n(We just ask that if a chapter meeting is at a restaurant location\, that you purchase a meal to support the location that is so graciously hosting our event.

Her passion for this work was ignited during her college years when the word “resilience” resonated deeply within her. She says that she had strength\, but didn’t always have the language connected to her strength. She adds that today she can truly say\, “I am resilient. God calls us to be resilient.” This realization led Pamela to build a platform of empowerment and healing\, with the belief that once you find your voice\, you must “Pass The Crown” and share those experiences to help others flourish. \nIn 2017\, Pamela founded Queen of Resilience\, Inc.\, to address the growing need for mental health support in her community\, particularly for women and college students. Through this initiative\, Pamela has helped countless people manage anxiety\, depression\, and other mental health challenges\, offering them the tools to find strength and self-awareness. \nPamela’s leadership is deeply influenced by the wisdom of her mother\, which she carries into her work and life. With a background in human resources\, she has experience in diversity and inclusion\, recruitment\, credentialing\, and employee wellness. Her HR expertise\, combined with her servant leadership\, has earned her a reputation for fostering growth and a positive work environment. \nPamela has a bachelor’s degree in healthcare management from Harris-Stowe State University and a master’s in healthcare administration from Webster University. Her achievements have earned her notable recognition\, including the “Women Who Inspire” Award from Delux Magazine and the “Outstanding Alumni in Leadership” distinction from Harris-Stowe State University. \nThrough her personal and professional journey\, Pamela remains dedicated to empowering women and youth to rise above their challenges\, embrace their potential\, and achieve success by living a life centered on resilience. \nAs entrepreneurs\, we have to understand that there is power in finding joy in resilience.

SUMMARY:O'Fallon Chapter Meeting - Skincare Myths Busted

Since 2011\, my vehicle to live out this mission has been skincare and cosmetics. I believe that when a woman will share her face with you\, she will also share her heart. I have been in leadership with Mary Kay for 13 years where I not only educate and inform on products\, ingredients\, application\, and self care but I train\, coach\, and mentor women to live their best lives while providing choices. I watch women gain confidence from the outside in by using the products and from the inside out by investing time in their personal development journey. \nI came to Mary Kay following successful engineering and real estate careers that served our family well in different seasons of life. Those experiences prepared me for the grit\, tenacity\, and persistence it takes to be a self-employed leader in the direct selling industry. Every struggle and success during previous seasons shape us into the current better version of ourselves. I have learned to surrender things that are out of my control\, control the controllables\, and effectively lead those who have been divinely assigned to me with faith\, empathy\, and authenticity. \nI am a wife\, mom of 2 daughters\, avid reader\, nature and water lover\, soccer enthusiast\, bleacher mom\, and foster dog mom \nPresentation Takeaways: \n1. Understand the value of protecting our body’s largest organ \n2. Learn ways to defend against our environment\, delay the signs of aging\, and deliver real results \n3.
