Keeping you in tune to Our Community.

Tessa Ely, Executive Director of Let Every Woman Know (LEWK), along with Marcy Ash, Community Outreach & Program Coordinator, share insights into the LEWK organization and its upcoming 14th Annual Arts of Healing Weekend, taking place February 6–8, 2026. Whether you’re new to LEWK or a longtime supporter, it’s a meaningful reminder of the power of creativity, compassion, and community.

Kelly grew up in the Midwest among farms and fertile soils. Outfitted with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Film Studies, she moved to Nome, Alaska to work for a community-driven, nonprofit radio station. There she became versed in local radio, holding a range of jobs from Program and Music Director to producer and on-air host. Every day she’s in awe of the connection and companionship only local radio provides. When not working, Kelly and her spouse happily spend their time traveling, appreciating the true wild, and creating artsy things.
