SPEAKERS

Morgan Raphael
Founder | Bun Undone LLC
Morgan Raphael is a Chicago-based entrepreneur, the creator behind Bun Undone and Bun Undone Self-Care Society, and a guided meditation and reiki practitioner. Additionally, her 9-5 job is leading a local boutique agency's social media and Influencer marketing team. Her platforms provide not only a space to create purposeful and inspiring content but also a community for others to connect and feel a sense of community, something that doesn't always feel present in the current state of social media. Morgan began her content creation journey in 2017, experiencing the transition from physical blogs to the rise of other platforms. Today, she hopes to shed light on the industry from both a creator and account management perspective, because relationship building and understanding from each angle is at the core of success.
