Nicole with speaker Francine Humphrey and event hosts,Lilisa Williams and Angelavette Williams.
On Saturday, August 25, speaker, writer, women’s empowerment expert and Pastor, Francine Humphrey and I got in my vehicle to drive over 5 hours to Newark, New Jersey ( at 3am ) . Surviving off 2 hours of sleep I was determined to make it to the Women Leaders & Entrepreneurs Summit and Business Expo hosted by author Lilisa Williams and Angelavette Williams.
The theme for the event was Releasing Your Power, Aspiration & Innovation.
WBLS announcer Liz Black was the host (and boy was she a hoot). The women in the room came in anticipation for information and that’s exactly what they received.
Francine did an excellent job. She was funny, inspiring and on point. She reminded us to be a product of our business, don’t care what others think and be mindful of our brand. What you do, where you go and how you look is all tied to your brand. I am so proud of her and what she has set out to do in this chapter of her life. www.issuesconcerningwomen.com
The keynote speaker was the super charged and phenomenal, Dr. Gwendolyn Goldsby Grant, Multi-media Psychologist/Lecturer Speaker, Writer and author of The Best Kind of Loving.
She was so inspiring and full of wisdom. She was too, too funny. (did I say funny?)
“What you say becomes your day” she told us.She spoke to who we really are on the inside, not that junk we think, but the real stuff, We are so much greater than what we think. We are powerful. Dr. Grant left us with the 7 Ups.Think Up – Speak Up – Start Up – Step Up – Hold Up – Hang Up & Stand Up
