Sisters, This One Is For You…
Fourteen years ago, God gave me a vision to start a ministry for women. But can I be honest? I was terrified. My husband encouraged me to step out, but fear had such a grip on me that I delayed. He wanted me to launch it the same year we started our church, but if you know me, you know I was like, ‘Dude, you can’t make me start nothing.’
The truth was, I was scared out of my mind. I didn’t know how to lead. I didn’t know what it would cost me. And to be real with you—I didn’t even like women like that at the time. Why? Because my past relationships with women had been painful, broken, and disappointing. I carried that hurt into my present, and it made me question whether I could ever minister to women the way God was asking me to.
But God & My Pastor/Husband… wouldn’t let it go. As my husband finally stopped asking me. God kept pressing it on my heart that this ministry wasn’t about me—it was about the women He was calling me to reach. After running, resisting, and being disobedient for a year, I finally surrendered. With nothing but faith and His strength, I birthed Women of Destiny (WOD)—and I’ve been watching God move in ways I never imagined ever since.
“Since 2011, this ministry has grown in ways I could have never imagined. We’ve hosted conferences, workshops, women’s outings, sleepovers, retreats—you name it. And through it all, I’ve watched God transform women’s lives right in front of me. Testimonies of healing, growth, and breakthrough continue to remind me that saying ‘yes’ to this vision was worth it.
But here’s what I know for sure, I didn’t do this alone. Behind every conference, every retreat, every moment of impact, there has been a group of powerhouse women who have walked this journey with me. The Women of Destiny team has prayed, planned, and pushed this ministry forward in ways many people never see.
So today, I have to pause and give the biggest shoutout to my WOD team. These women have carried this vision right alongside me—faithfully, humbly, and with so much love. They are the hands and hearts behind the scenes, and I am forever grateful for each of them. Together, we’ve built more than events we’ve built a sisterhood, a safe space, and a movement that continues to change lives.
“THANK YOU, WOD TEAM!!! 💜 I cannot say it enough. You ladies have stood with me, prayed with me, and carried this vision faithfully. Every long meeting, every planning meeting, every behind-the-scenes sacrifice, you’ve been there. And because of your obedience and commitment, this ministry is still standing strong today.
Now here we are, preparing to celebrate 14 years of ministry. Fourteen years of pouring, serving, and lifting women up in the power of God. And as we step into this new season, we’ve been praying, planning, and preparing for something greater than ever before.
This year, the mantle God has placed on us is summed up in one powerful word: EmpowerHER. This isn’t just a theme—it’s a movement. It’s a declaration that women will rise, walk boldly, and step fully into the destiny God has written for them.”*
I don’t just want to tell you about a conference. I want to invite you into a movement, a vision, and a story that God birthed in my heart. Today, I want to share with you the journey behind the Empower Her Conference, and why this calling is so deeply woven into the fabric of who I am.”
🌸 What Empower Her Means to Me
“Over the years, so many women have come to me feeling stuck—some just going through the motions, some feeling silenced, some battling quietly with the weight of life. They were searching… searching for encouragement in their marriage, direction in their ministry, peace in their mental health, and confidence in how to handle their money.
And as I listened to their hearts, I realized they weren’t just looking for answers, they were longing for hope. For a reminder that they are not alone, that God still has more for them, and that their story doesn’t end where the struggle begins.
As I listened to their stories, I realized something important: sometimes we just need a reminder.
✨ A reminder that we are not alone.
✨ A reminder that we can grow, heal, and thrive.
✨ A reminder that we are stronger than we think.
That is what Empower Her means to me, and it’s why I created the Empower Her Conference.
🌟 Why This Conference Exists
I’ve shared my own journey with women for years, but I wanted to go even further. I wanted to create a space where women could hear from voices beyond mine leaders, teachers, and women of faith who inspire me deeply.
This year, our incredible speakers will pour into four life-changing areas:
Marriage – Building stronger, lasting connections
Ministry – Walking in purpose and calling
Money – Finding financial confidence and freedom
Mental Health – Creating balance and peace within
These amazing speakers you see on the flyer above aren’t just names or faces—I’ve had the honor of watching their journeys up close. I’ve seen their footsteps, their faith, and their resilience. And now, they’re coming to share their stories, their wisdom, and their hearts with you.
Of course, I had to add my husband into the mix—y’all already know that joker is a beast when it comes to building wealth and teaching principles that change generations. 🙌🏾
And last, but certainly not least, our close-out speaker holds a very special place in my heart. Pastor Driver spoke over me at a time when no one else could see the real story. God revealed the truth to her, and her words unlocked something in me that I will never forget. To have her close out this conference is nothing short of divine alignment.”*
🎉 A Milestone Year
This year is especially meaningful to me because we are celebrating 14 years of ministry. Fourteen years of showing up, serving, encouraging, and uplifting women right where they are. Fourteen years of watching God heal, restore, and transform lives through this vision He placed in my heart.
Empower Her is not just another event—it’s the continuation of that legacy. It’s the evidence that God is still moving, still speaking, and still raising up women to walk boldly in their destiny. And I truly believe this year’s conference will be one of the most powerful experiences we’ve ever had.”*
