Keesha B. Buteau is the Founder of Beacon of Light- Coaching, Consulting and Public Speaking Company based in Lafayette, Louisiana. Keesha B. Buteau graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science.

Marcelle Fontenot is a native of Opelousas and earned her Mass Communications degree with Honors at Southern University. She began her journalism career here in Lafayette in 2004 and hasn't looked back. As she approaches the 20-year mark, she co-anchors the 5:00, 6:00, and 10:00 newscasts at News15. "I was bitten by the news bug early," she explains. "I anchored a newscast on the miniature set at the Children's Museum in New Orleans when I was about seven years old, that's all it took." In her career, Marcelle has covered some of the biggest stories of our time and has spent time with Former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Marcelle has also gone "Inside Angola"–an in-depth series about life inside what was once known as "America's Bloodiest Prison."

Top 20 Under 40, Women Who Mean Business, Best Anchor and Tops of Acadiana are some of the honors Marcelle has received in her career. She has won Associated Press awards for in-depth series called "Facebook Stalking" and her community affairs reporting.

Marcelle loves being in one of the greatest places on the planet!
