Women who don’t just attend events…
they build brands, lead movements, shape conversations, and influence markets.
This is a high-intention, high-impact room — curated, connected, and deeply aligned.
THE MOMENT

I know firsthand what it means to push through exhaustion, overwork, and constantly pour into others without refilling my own cup. As a CEO, entrepreneur, and community leader, I’ve built, led, and pivoted businesses—including owning a coworking space that I had to close during the pandemic.
I’ve navigated domestic violence, divorce, single motherhood, and major business transitions—and for years, I thought the only way to keep going was to grind harder and sacrifice more. But burnout nearly took everything from me.
Then, I decided to intentionally rest.
And in that pause, I received clarity.
Clarity on who I was beyond what I produced.
Clarity that rest isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a strategy for success.
Clarity that the more I slowed down, the more aligned and impactful my work became.
That’s when I realized: Rest isn’t a retreat. It’s the foundation for real, lasting impact.
But let’s be real—as women, we’ve been taught to put ourselves last.
We nurture, we lead, we give. And somewhere between showing up for everyone else, we forget to show up for ourselves.
We tell ourselves we’ll rest when the work is done. But the work is never done.

About Sparkle Foundation
If you want to know what it means to Sparkle, you must experience it for yourself. It’s not just something we do; it’s part of who we are. The energy and commitment we bring to our communities are palpable. Step into any space where we are in our zone, and you won’t be able to resist the urge to get involved. The Sparkle Foundation’s mission is to make sure women and children have a Sparkle in their eyes. We help women because women rarely ask for help. We help children because they are many times victims of circumstances. We do this alongside our communities, and we make magical things happen.
Every dollar, every donation, and every hour of heart and soul poured into Sparkle is amplified by our mission and sent directly to the families we support. We are different in this way as 100% of donations go to the women and children we personally select. We make a difference. We create opportunities. We give hope and demonstrate what’s possible when women work together. We mentor. We advise. We give. And when we think we have nothing left, we provide more, and we do so with a deep sense of purpose, responsibility, humility, impact, and commitment to the women we serve.
You can be a part of all of this and truly Sparkle.
