ARTIST, ENTREPRENEUR, BRIT+CO CO-FOUNDER

@anjelikatemple is an artist, entrepreneur, and mother of two who’s made a career out of encouraging folks to unlock their creativity, find courage and forge their own path. As Co-Founder of @britandco, she spent a decade creating content, product lines, and experiences to help women do just that. Since then, Anj has served as a consulting Creative Director and Brand Strategist to several high-impact companies including Bobbie, Havenly, The Ellen Show, Rebel Girls, Michelle Obama’s PLEZi Nutrition, Miss Jones Baking Co, and more. She is passionate about creative expression and brand voice, storytelling through content, community-building, and loves to creatively riff with people high up in the clouds and with rolled-up sleeves in the weeds.

Anj loves hikes that sometimes turn into runs, learning new ways to make art, ‘90s dance parties, and adventuring with her family in Northern California.

Anj was one of MTHR's very first speakers back in 2018, and she has been championing our MTHR dreams ever since. We are elated to have her back as this year’s speaker panel moderator!

Family of Brands, including Shelter Co., a luxury camping and event production company, The Get Out, a retail line of tents and outdoor gear, and River Electric, a glamping hotel and pool club in Guerneville, California opening in 2025.

Having a unique experience in design, architecture and event planning, Kelsey took the trend to the next level. For the past 12 years, she has personally forged strong relationships with manufacturing partners around the globe to design and source canvas tents, furnishings and accessories, and has brought these products to life conceptualizing and executing notable events, parties, festivals, and weddings across the country.
