Our People

OUR PEOPLE 

Regina Larko started #impact as a solo founder, but it did not take long until people reached out and wanted to get involved.

Regina is incredibly lucky to have surrounded herself with talented individuals supporting her with hosting, production, social media, strategy and sometimes just a simple encouraging text message.

Just like Regina, they believe in her vision of shedding light on incredible changemakers who are often too modest to brag about their work.

So the #impact team is here to take care of that.

Regina Larko is featured in Season 2 of GVOMTV. Huge thanks to the brilliant team at The Good Vibes Only Movement for telling our story.
