"Participating in and winning the speak tank in Cedar Rapids connected me with so many new people that I now call friends, and has allowed me to continue to share a message that I’ve always been so passionate about, but never felt like I had the platform to share it on. I loved every second of the competition and am STILL feeling the love and support four months later!" - Brandi Spurling, 2023 wlc conference: cedar rapids speak tank winner
