When Creativity Is a Family Value: A Mining Exec Spotlights Music from the Heart

How Judea B uses LinkedIn to celebrate a different kind of legacy — her daughter’s artistic voice.

“Though my work is rooted in the mining sector, creativity flows through my family.” That’s how Judea B, Executive Director at LMC, opens one of the most refreshingly human LinkedIn posts we’ve seen this month.

At a time when professional platforms often stick to polished company updates and milestone brags, Judea took a different approach. She turned her spotlight toward home — specifically, her daughter Morgan Knaplund, a multicultural songwriter and composer who shares her original work every Friday.

A Creative Thread Across Generations

While Judea navigates boardrooms and strategies in the mining and energy sector, Morgan navigates melodies and emotions — but their shared post shows that creativity is the bridge between them.

Morgan’s “Friday Drops” series features original songs built from the ground up: lyrics, vocals, production — all created with fresh intent and unfiltered emotion. Judea’s post doesn’t just promote her daughter’s work; it affirms that excellence can look like spreadsheets or sound like soul.

And the timing? Brilliant. Morgan posted one of her latest drops with a simple yet striking preview: “Pen. Voice. Pulse.” Paired with an arresting visual — a melting heart sculpted over an ice cream cone, dripping with rich, red tone — her work oozes originality.

What We Can Learn From Judea’s Post

1. Leadership Isn’t One-Dimensional

Judea reminds us that great leaders don’t just support talent at work; they cultivate it at home. Celebrating others — especially family — is not a sign of vulnerability, but of grounded strength.

2. Creativity Has No Boundaries

Industries are changing. The mining sector might seem worlds apart from music, but Judea’s post bridges them. Creativity in business, after all, often begins with thinking like an artist.

3. Support Can Be Strategic

By amplifying her daughter’s work, Judea isn’t just being supportive — she’s doing what all great leaders do: investing in meaningful growth. This type of storytelling subtly strengthens personal brand and family legacy alike.

The Community’s Response

With heartfelt comments like “Amazing talent indeed” and “Thank you for sharing,” the LinkedIn community responded warmly. The post serves as a gentle reminder that platforms like LinkedIn aren’t just for client pitches — they can be spaces of authenticity.

A Thought from the Legal & Strategic Lens

From a business development point of view, Judea’s post is an underrated example of how soft power works. Reputation capital isn’t always built through accomplishments; sometimes it’s built by showing what you value most. For consultants, lawyers, and corporate leaders — this post exemplifies how storytelling can attract not only followers but trust.

Final Reflection

If you’re a leader in any field, what legacy are you showcasing? Not just in your company metrics — but in the lives you influence daily?

And if creativity lives quietly in your corner, is it time to give it a voice?
