Conversations with AUDRA Women

Sonya Woods Rose is a Dallas-based wardrobe stylist and makeup artist who leads her life, work, relationships, and community in faith. Sonya and I met through our work and relationship in retail at Stanley Korshak and immediately bonded over quality fashion and faith. As an ordained minister, Sonya sets a strong example of loving yourself and honoring your individual beauty. Because of this, she radiates grace both inside and out and we’re grateful to her for styling her AUDRA pieces her way, at home in Texas.

Sue McCollum is one of the nation’s leading businesswomen in the beverage alcohol distribution industry. She is the owner and CEO of two Anheuser-Busch distributors in South Florida and the CEO of Major Brands, the largest Missouri based distributor of premium spirits, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages. Her approach to both business and relationships is central to the AUDRA brand and why we’re delighted to revere and engage Sue within our community.

Award winning journalist Deborah Roberts is a lifelong fashion enthusiast with a commitment to wearing, supporting and uplifting emerging designers. Deborah is steady in her style confidence while embracing talent. We’ve been fortunate that she embraces the AUDRA brand and what is stands for. 

Penny Pennington, Managing Partner of Edward Jones, is a leader, co-creator at work and in the community she lives, and at home as a wife and a mother of two adult daughters. As a celebrated AUDRA woman, Penny embodies optimism, ambition, commitment, strength, collaboration, resiliency, and generosity.

Tara Gallina is the co-owner and GM of Vicia and Winslow's Table, along with her husband, Chef Michael Gallina. While juggling two restaurants, soon to be two small children, and making agile moves to keep their business afloat right now, Tara connected with us to share her thoughts on community, memorable dining experiences, and the importance of relationships.
