Featured in Slay the USA (San Francisco Chapter, April 2026), Kendra Thompson is recognized among a curated group of women making meaningful impact through creativity, community, and purpose-driven work. Founded by Leigh M. Clark, Slay the USA was created to spotlight women who are building with heart, resilience, and authenticity—often outside of traditional paths.

Kendra’s work reflects that ethos, blending cooking, hosting, and home design into a thoughtful lifestyle rooted in connection, simplicity, and intentional living. Through her platform, Create with Kendra, and her community-driven gatherings with Redwood Social, she brings people together through beautifully designed spaces, shared meals, and meaningful experiences—where design, atmosphere, and hospitality come together to create a true sense of home.
