28 Sep Women in STEM Virtual Event

I recently received this testimonial from Event Planner Amanda Sigaty:

“Tracey Bell wowed the 1000 women virtual audience with her humor, energy and quick costume changes. Our audience members had the best time laughing with Tracey who made sure this was a virtual event to remember! Thank you for an amazing show!!”

I met Amanda in January of 2020, at the special events conference GO WEST in Edmonton. She had seen my showcase performance the day before and was interested in having me perform live as a dozen divas for an in-person fundraiser benefiting female students in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in Alberta. At the time we didn’t know that all live events would soon be cancelled indefinitely.

I was surprised to hear from her fifteen months later and grateful that I had produced a virtual show that I could customize for her group. I transformed before their eyes to become nine celebrities including Dolly Parton, Celine Dion, Cher, and Michael Jackson. Guests said I was, “HILARIOUS!!!” as I performed DIY demonstrations, gave advice, and shared shenanigans while interacting and responding to comments.

The One Thousand Women organization had already raised 3.5 million dollars since 2010 and built a childcare facility at Norquest. They raised an additional $151,000 at this year’s One Thousand Women: A Million Possibilities Luncheon!

Here’s a one-minute video of me as Dolly, Celine, Cher and myself that I produced for 1000 Women to promote the event on social media.
