What People Are Saying

Everything was perfect and fitting for where I am personally and professionally at this very moment.

I appreciate the entire conference. I really like it was an environment of women just like myself. i appreciate the openness of each speaker. What I enjoyed most were the letter to themselves. Me at 28 I am still trying to figure it let alone figure myself out. So it gave me a chance to look at myself and see how far I’ve came and help me plan what I want to become. What stuck with me lost is when i was asked “what do people get when they get me?” because often we fix ourselves to fit an image but each speaker helped me see i can just bring myself and that’s more than enough.

The panelists provided support to attendees. i.e. Provide mentors for attendees who are not advancing in their careers. I, also, appreciated the candidness and sisterhood and the willingness of the panelists to call Black women to support Black women.

I appreciated the directness and openness of the experiences that were shared. That the vibe was to educate and truly see people, to help them elevate.
