There is something special about a fall afternoon filled with music, laughter, and the aroma of good food. The Fall Jazz Food Truck Rally in Lakeland, FL, was the perfect backdrop for what became more than a casual encounter; it turned into a divine alignment.
Amid the rhythm of jazz, old school music, and the hum of conversation, I met two remarkable women entrepreneurs whose stories reminded me why I do what I do.
Ashley Rollins, owner of Harmonious Triumph, is a mother of two daughters and one son. Ashley disclosed that her youngest daughter has special needs. Ashley is a living example of grace under fire. Her business name says it all. She embodies what it means to turn life's tests into testimony, leading with heart and purpose. As we shared our stories, we had an instant connection. Ashley's attitude, faith, and strength are a testament to her strength.
Then there's Dulche Stewart, the dynamic woman behind Dare U2 Bling. Supported by her husband, Justin, she stepped out on faith to build her business as an independent jewelry consultant. Her confidence and sparkle are contagious; proof that when faith and courage meet, something beautiful happens.
As Dulche and I talked about entrepreneurship, family, and mental wellness, we discovered our husbands knew each other from years ago as Masonic Brothers. In fact, my husband, Johnny, was Justin's mentor when he became a Masonic Brother at the same lodge. Imagine that! Life has a way of circling back, connecting people in moments that feel perfectly orchestrated.
Interestingly, just days ago, I created a video sharing my new keynote presentation entitled, "This Is A Woman's World." It is a call to every woman to claim her space, use her voice, and walk boldly in her purpose. To lead with love, to stand with confidence, and to build community, not in competition, but in collaboration.
Women like Ashley and Dulche, and so many others, are the heartbeat of "This Is A Woman's World." We are the connectors, the nurturers, the visionaries who carry grace and grit into every room we enter.
So here's to women who meet by chance and forever connected.
Here's to harmony, bling, and courage; all shining under the same jazz-lit sky.
Because yes, to all my sisters -- This Is A Woman's World.
