Almost every year I have facilitated a womens conference around my tagline: Change Your Mind, Change Your Life. Each year has a different theme. This year's theme was: Selfcare.
I've gone from the conferences being LIVE not VIRTUAL; to them being a full month long to one day; to having several speakers and now this year I have one PHENOMENAL presenter: Kiwan Fitch.
