On May 13th 2017, I had the pleasure of attending my second sisters in power event. The experience was just as motivational and inspirational as the first event I attended in Dallas Tx. This time however, the event was in Atlanta Georgia. The venue was at one of ATL hot spot called the Havana Club where guests were served the most delicious food, great cocktails and sweet wine for light weights such as myself.
There was quite a notable difference from my Dallas experience however. That difference happened to be the inclusion of 3 successful gentlemen on the panel of speakers. This attracted more male audience members. A huge plus in that it made the experience even more socially rewarding. The men on the panel and those in the audience alike brought that male perspective of thinking to the different topics/questions discussed.
The panel included, Author, Mentor and transformation coach
Benjamin Raymond
Certified Life and relationship Coach/ Author 
Basketball wives star,TV personality 
Activist, Actor, Grammy award winner 
Former American Idol contestant/ Broadway star 
Business woman/ Show Host 
Race in America, the black lives matter movement, black history, How to be proud of your heritage and not offend other races, black on black love/crime, love and relationship, starting a business, staying motivated and following ones passion were some of the topics that sparked passion in the room. It was interesting that despite the differences of opinion that some speakers and audiences members had on some of the topics mentioned, there was still that calm common ground that we where all there to empower and uplift one another. And that through our many different backgrounds and walks of life we can still relate and motivate each other through sharing how we overcome the challenges we endure in life. It was truly a life changing experience and It personally made me more self aware than I would like to admit.
Lastly, I want to thank you for taking a read, and especially thank sisters in power for the opportunity. And remember the sisters in power movement continues to empower and motivate women one city at a time. So Visit their site and see when they are in your city or close to it. Life can be stressful and sometimes you just need to decompose and hit that reset button. Sisters in power is that reset button
