Our
Summit
Story
The She Said Yes to Herself Unapologetically Summit was inspired by the newly released book and course content created by our platform visionary and lead organizer Chanelle Coleman (Wesley). The She Said Yes to Herself Unapologetically Summits provide a bridge to bring together individuals and businesses that have a shared message, mission, and vision that creates the opportunity for leaders to pour purposefully, passionately, and powerfully into women. This dynamic event united Chanelle Coleman Wesley and LaQuita Parks. Together these two extraordinary women embarked upon a quest of connecting with various speakers and businesses and asking these amazing individuals to join them in pursuit of touching the lives of 1000+ women. Dr. Kevin Vaughn and Dr. Velma Bagby were quickly added to the team and the rest is summit history.
