This is not your ordinary women’s conference. Our main objective is to give you the support and tools to continue to become women breaking generational curses while healing. 

Empowerment has become the buzzword of the decade. We often use the term in hopes of bringing individuals together. What happens afterward? How are we maintaining our ability to empower others? Who is holding us accountable for ourselves?

As this is our Third Annual Women’s Conference.

Our theme is Permission Granted: Embrace, Empower, Elevate

We are inviting all women to come, network, collaborate, and celebrate with each other in a safe and secure space. We are cultivating an environment where women can inspire and join together for something positive, something bigger than ourselves. Not only are we changing the narrative, but we are developing one that speaks to the true empowerment of women. 

This elegantly designed event features decadent dining and inspired mixology, providing our guests with nothing less than a Queen’s status.

“I want to build a community where women of all races can communicate and… continue to support and care for each other. I want to give women a space to feel their own strength and tell their Stories. That is power.”
