Background
Members of the local business community gathered for the quarterly Williamson Inc. Women in Business luncheon, where guest speaker Megan Alexander led a conversation built around identity.
Held at Brentwood United Methodist Church, the event featured Alexander, a Franklin resident, bestselling author, national correspondent, and film producer widely recognised for her work with Inside Edition.
Drawing on more than two decades in television, film, and media, Alexander walked attendees through personal stories tied to questions she has wrestled with across her career, especially around knowing her own identity.
Her recently released devotional book, The True Gifts of Christmas, gave the luncheon its holiday flavour, complete with a catered lunch, festive décor, and a surprise visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Alexander looked back on advice from a vocal coach early in her career, who pushed her to figure out who she was before stepping into an industry that might pressure her to bend her values.
She urged attendees to write personal mission statements and spoke about staying persistent, pointing to her own first book, which faced repeated rejections before finally landing a publishing deal.
She also spoke about adapting when plans shift, recalling her Super Bowl coverage for Inside Edition. Alexander wrapped up by turning to work-life balance, describing how she and her husband stepped back to reassess their priorities as a family.
A question and answer session followed, after which Santa and Mrs. Claus surprised the room with gift card giveaways. Alexander then stayed to meet attendees and sign copies of her books.
