Ladies, carry a tremendous burden as caregiver and are often minimized due to this “gender role.” We're diving deep into the essence of a woman's remarkable crown — a symbol of strength, resilience, and undeniable power.
Unveiling the Invisible: Every woman carries an invisible crown adorned with experiences, victories, and the wisdom gained from life's unique journey. Shavonne Reed and our esteemed speakers and guests will explore the tales behind these crowns, uncovering the stories of triumph that make each one extraordinary to inspire hope and facilitate motivation and support from allies along the way.
Our event goes beyond just an agenda—it’s a transformative experience of sisterhood, infused with uplifting energy and genuine connection. We’re creating a community where women are celebrated, supported, and empowered to thrive. Our purpose is not only to help women advance in their careers, businesses, and health but to equip them with the tools and inspiration to sustain that momentum and shape a future grounded in equity and opportunity.
Full Agenda will be published after the beginning of the year, alongside a list of amazing speakers.
