Guest Speaker: A. Jean White Jennings

Topic: Walking In Victory After Abuse

Click HERE to RSVP to attend

Rooted in the powerful memoir Hidden Hurts Revealed by A. Jean White Jennings, this workshop offers a healing space for survivors of abuse and incest to confront the pain of their past and begin walking in personal victory.

Laced with humor, heartache, and the murkier sides of keeping family secrets, Hidden Hurts Revealed: Biography of A Woman by A. Jean White-Jennings is an explosive portrait of how children of rape and incest can survive what haunts them. Boldly transparent, this candid memoir reads like a convincing soap opera, though the levels of depravity and indifference towards children are utterly shocking. With chapter titles like “Inside I Cried: Enough Is Enough,” “The Son That Wasn’t Mine,” and “Responding to a Sister’s Plea for Help,” the author shares what it is like to move past childhood incidences of incest and rape in order to become a good parent and a loving partner. As she recounts her harrowing journey and how it is she was able to ultimately face her demons so that she might begin to live life on her own terms, her message is not at all about letting bygones be bygones, but to examine, biopsy, and cast off the cancerous memories of one’s past.

Topic: L.E.G.A.C.Y.: How Purpose-Driven Women Protect What They're Building

Click HERE to RSVP to attend

This session is for the woman who didn’t inherit wealth — but is determined to build a future her family won’t have to start over from.

Whether you’re growing a business, raising a family, or both, you are already laying the groundwork for legacy. The question is: is it protected?

Join Doranita Tyler — Legacy Architect and founder of Protect The Legacy — as she introduces the L.E.G.A.C.Y. framework, a powerful system to help you protect what you’re building, fill in the gaps, and create a financial foundation strong enough to support the generations coming behind you.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• How to lay a solid financial foundation rooted in protection

• Why insurance and clarity are the first steps, not the afterthought

• What "legacy planning" means for first-gen families

• How to build a support system that aligns with your goals — not just your grind
