The conference included an expo with booths populated by Chamber members and sponsors. Guests enjoyed a pop-up boutique by LuLaRoe Kelly Darrah, an informational booth by Crittenton Services for Children and Families, and delicious cupcakes from Patty’s Cakes and Desserts. Flower arrangements, generously donated by Mums the Word – A Florist, brought cheer to each table.

Throughout the course of the conference, topics including business, leadership, personal health awareness, and self-growth were discussed. Dr. Berenecea Eanes shared the “8 Secrets to Success According to Madam C.J. Walker.” Hazel Curtis offered her method of creating a life you love with her acronym C-R-E-A-T-E. Each speaker presented an honest and empowering message.

“8 SECRETS TO SUCCESS ACCORDING TO MADAM C.J. WALKER”

TAKE THE INITIATIVE “I got my start by giving myself a start!”

BE AHEAD OF THE CURVE “I am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South. From there I was promoted to the washtub. . .from there to the kitchen. . .and from there, I promoted myself!”

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE “Having a good article for the market is one thing. Putting it properly before the public is another.”

EMPOWER OTHERS“I am endeavoring to provide employment for hundreds of women of my race.”

BE GENEROUS “Now my object in life is not simply to make money for myself or to spend it on myself in dressing or running around in any automobile, but I love to use a part of what I make to help others.”

BE OPEN TO NEW IDEAS & UNEXPLORED TERRITORY “Girls and women must not be afraid to...wring success out of a number of business opportunities that lie at their very doors.”

BE BOLD & COURAGEOUS “Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. You have to get up and make them for yourself!”

INVEST IN FUTURE GENERATIONS “I want young people to see what can be accomplished by thrift, industry and intelligent investment of money.”

Dr. Berenecea Eanes presenting to the audience, "8 Secrets to Success according to Madam C.J. Walker."
