Founder Spotlight: Stacia Mac
At the heart of The Mac Effect is its visionary founder, Stacia Mac-a serial entrepreneur and community advocate whose impressive career spans the entertainment and nonprofit sectors. As the founder and CEO of House of Legends Records, Stacia has not only empowered artists but also built a legacy of success. A proud Chicago native, she played a pivotal role early in her career by negotiating a groundbreaking contract with Columbia Records for her son and rising star Polo G. Her keen negotiation skills and strategic acumen were instrumental in constructing and finalizing Polo's major label album deal, setting the stage for his rapid ascent in the music industry.

Beyond entertainment, Stacia is a passionate motivational speaker and staunch advocate for community empowerment and education. Recognized in 2022 as one of Billboard's Women in Music Top Executives, her influence extends well beyond business achievements. She also founded the "Find Her Way" bail bond project to support incarcerated women in Chicago and has organized numerous community initiatives-from food and clothing drives to car, toy, school fee, and prom dress giveaways-to ensure that every member of her community has the opportunity to thrive.

A Collaborative Effort
This event is made even more special through our partnership with Project Luv, an initiative founded by Chicago native Lavergne Willis. Together, we are committed to creating opportunities and fostering a supportive environment where every young person can flourish.
