PLANO – Recognition for the Powerful Journal Women’s Conference has caught the attention of women all over the world. Now, Plano Mayor Harry LaRosiliere proclaimed Feb. 1 as Powerful Journey Day.
“I was elated to receive the signed proclamation from Mayor Harry LaRosiliere proclaiming Feb. 1, 2014, as Powerful Journey Day in the city of Plano,” said Phyllis Jenkins, founder of Powerful Journey. “It is just more ‘fuel for my cause’ to keep equipping women to flourish in their life-purpose. That’s the reason the Powerful Journey Organization exists.”
The event, slated for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 1 at The Hope Center, 2001 W. Plano Parkway in Plano, will include an invigorating and dynamic keynote presentation from reinvention strategist, author, and speaker Marshawn Evans, a panel of experts featured in Empowerment Breakout Sessions, and the REALationship Roundtable.
Evans, who appeared on season 3 of NBC’s The Apprentice, will speak to the theme of this year’s conference: Your Time To Flourish.
“As women, we are everything to everybody and often no good to ourselves,” Evans said. “This conference is an opportunity for you to fill yourself back up with power, sisterhood, wisdom, and inspiration.
“I really do think that women today need that ‘Mary and Elizabeth’ type sisterhood to go to the next level and bond and build together. This is what this conference is about.”
Born and reared in Dallas, Evans graduated magna cum laude from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. She earned her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. The attorney is one of the nation’s leading experts on the art of maximizing potential and life coaching. Evans also provides regular commentary for CNN and ESPN.
The MC’s for the conference include radio personalities Markeeta Campbell from KGGR 1040 am and Jamila Camp from KHVN 970 am. The Powerful Praise and Worship will be led by Ilya Golden. Door prizes will be given away and raffle items will be up for grabs.
