FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A Heartfelt Singles Debut Now the Official Soundtrack of TEDxBelltown Women 2025
Seattle, WA — When a speaker and a singer collided at TEDxBelltown Women 2024, they created the soundtrack of the year. What began as an unexpected moment of connection backstage at TEDx has become a movement-defining message. “This Bridge We Build,” a powerful original song written by author and speaker
Meagan O’Nan and composed by indie R&B artist
Kellie Rose (KR), has been officially named the 2025 TEDxBelltown Women anthem.
In a creative decision, in line with the inspiration of the global TED Talk brand, Seattle-based TEDxBelltown Women has entered into an agreement with Meagan and KR to license the song as the official anthem for the 2025 TEDx event. This collaboration not only represents the spirit of TEDx — ideas worth spreading — but embodies the theme of connection that brought these two artists together. Fitting for the 2025 TEDxBelltown Women theme of 'Our Heroes' Journey'
“This song gives voice to the things we feel most deeply but rarely express,” says Liz Galloway, organizer of TEDxBelltown Women. “It’s a reflection of the power of women creating together. We’re proud to make it our anthem for 2025 and empower others."
KR and Meagan will perform the new single and spoken word live at the TEDxBelltown Women event on November 8, 2025, marking the full-circle moment of a collaboration born in that very space. Attendees will also be able to hear from the two on what the creative process was like and the power of connection.
“Writing the lyrics for ‘This Bridge We Build’ allowed me to explore the depths of unexpressed feelings and share more of my story. Collaborating with KR brought those words to life in a way I never imagined,” shares O'Nan.
“When Meagan and I met at TEDx, there was an immediate spark,” said KR. “Our collaboration was organic, reflecting our mutual commitment to authenticity and connection.”
Meagan and KR are now booking for local and national interviews, performances, appearances, and speaking opportunities.
