1. Uplifting – young women to harness both their innate and spiritual strengths to the fullest.
2. Inspiring – them to stand out as emerging leaders in their professions, communities, and spiritual endeavors.
3. Guiding – them in forging genuine, sustainable relationships in every sphere of their lives.
Our Foundation rests on:
1. Building profound bonds amongst a community of seasoned women of faith.
2. Encouraging transparent and sincere dialogue.
3. Creating a nurturing space where young women can both understand and celebrate their purpose, and turn their aspirations into reality.
When we bridge the wisdom of experience with the dynamism of youth, we illuminate a path full of potential. By uniting generations, we light up the promise of a more radiant future.
Our objectives are for women to pursue their God-inspired purpose and dreams by way of inciting and energizing the consciousness of women by
(1) heightening their awareness about civic engagement by way of empowering and mobilizing women to collectively use and exercise their power, voice, and voting rights; (2) educating and providing resources focusing on health and self-care, and (3) to encourage, inspire, and support women to realize their dreams, pursue their purpose, and to create a legacy for future generations.
Our conference includes workshops that are facilitated by local and national subject matter experts focusing on our three core pillars:
(1) Civic Engagement/Voting Rights; (2) Health/Wellness & Safety; and (3) Spiritual Enrichment; Q&A Sessions, and Networking Opportunities.
Women are welcomed and invited to visit our Vendors/Resource Information Marketplace throughout the day. We are committed to supporting black businesses, especially women entrepreneurs. We also provide healthcare and mental health screenings, speak with healthcare providers and a relaxation massage area.
Simply, our three-word purpose statement: Inspire, Hope, and Shine drives our mission to uplift and celebrate sisterhood.
