Women’s Empowerment 2016 at PNC Arena

Disclosure: I am excited to be partnering with Radio One on the promotion of Women’s Empowerment 2016 at PNC Arena. I’m receiving two complimentary tickets to attend the event as well as an opportunity to give away two tickets to a lucky winner. All opinions are 100% honest and my own.

WME Viola Davis

I can’t wait for Radio One’s Women’s Empowerment 2016 at PNC Arena. I’ve been going for a few years now and I always leave feeling refreshed and motivated to tackle whatever comes my way. Women’s Empowerment is so much more than entertainment. You get spiritually filled, motivated and inspired to do better! I can’t think of a keynote speaker I didn’t enjoy from Steve Harvey, Mary J. Blige, T.D. Jakes to Tyler Perry in previous years. Every Keynote has a story to tell and I am here for it. This year’s Keynote Speaker is award-winning actress Viola Davis and I can’t wait to see what she shares with us. “Viola has burst through every barrier to become one of the most accomplished and celebrated actors today. She most recently became the first African American woman to win the Emmy for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her role as ‘Annalise Keating’ in Shonda Rhimes’s ABC drama How to Get Away with Murder. Her role earned her a Screen Actors Guild Award, an NAACP Image Award and a Golden Globe nomination.” I loved The Help, Lila & Eve and so many more. I personally can’t wait to see Suicide Squad! I’m a Fan!

“Women’s Empowerment & Networking Expo was created in 1995 in honor of Women’s History Month. This event was formed with the purpose of inspiring, encouraging and educating. Throughout this expo style event workshops, seminars and lectures are conducted that focus on physical, mental, spiritual, financial and emotional health. The goal of this entire event is to motivate, inspire and rejuvenate all who are in attendance.” Like I stated before, I’ve NEVER left a Women’s Empowerment and not feel like I was ready to take on anything that came at me. I’ve been in the audience with my phone taking notes and then later transferred it into my notebook. They drop some gems that you are going to want to remember. I love when you can really relate to what the speaker is talking about. We all have pain points but, when they start talking about one that resonates with you!?!?! It makes all the difference. This year the entertainment line up seems to be shaping up to be an event that you don’t want to miss. I’m really looking forward to seeing Teddy Riley, Monica and Jaheim! Yessssss! You can head over to the PNC Arena website for ticket information.

So far it looks like we can expect to see appearance from Jaheim, Monica, Johnny Gill, Charles Jenkins, and Anthony Brown, joining Tina Campbell, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Tamela Mann and more have been announced as musical performers at Women’s Empowerment! I am so happy that I am able to give away two tickets to this POWERFUL event. Oh… I’ll fall flat out if Tamela Mann sings “Take Me To The King” That’s my SONG! I love her music and her witty and funny husband David Mann will be in attendance as well. I love them both! I can’t wait to hear them speak and see them perform. So, do you want to be rejuvenated for the second quarter and rest of 2016? Who would you like to see based on the guests I’ve mentioned. There are so many people I am looking forward to seeing. Please ENTER the giveaway. Tips: Wear comfortable shoes for walking the concourse and seeing all the vendors. I always have my heels and my flip flops in tow. Lol! For more information, including a complete list of speakers, seminars and performers please visit FOXYNC.com I hope to see you there! Good Luck if you enter the GIVEAWAY! It will end on April 14th at Midnight.

Women’s Empowerment 2011

Saturday March 19, 2011 the RBC Center will be packed with thousands of women and let’s not forget the men looking to be uplifted by motivational speakers, attend educational sessions, and celebrate Women’s History Month. Women’s Empowerment is a Radio One event and one of the largest most anticipated ones at that! It’s an entire day of seminars, demonstrations, networking, performances and shopping with doors opening at 10:30 a.m. and closing at 8:00 p.m. I attended Women’s Empowerment 2009, Mary J Blige was the keynote speaker and I had a GREAT time.

This year’s keynote speaker is Steve Harvey and I’m looking forward to his speech. He is an Actor, Comedian, Author, Radio and Television personality and he knows what he’s talking about! I really enjoyed his book “Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man” (What men really think about love, relationships, intimacy, and commitment) and his newest “Straight Talk, No Chaser” (How to find, keep and understand a man) I’m actually in the middle of reading it now. Single ladies, read these books before you say “I DO” I found myself wishing I had read it before I said “I DO” Real Talk!

Some of this year’s lineup of entertainment and speakers include:

Recording Artist Keyshia Cole: Jumping on the scene in 2005 Keyshia Cole went platinum with her album “The Way It Is” following behind with another platinum hit album in 2007 “Just Like You” then shortly after produced yet another certified platinum album “A Different Me” in 2008. “Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is” a reality show based on her career and relationship with her family aired on BET for two seasons. Keyshia Cole took some time off and found love, had a son with fiancé Daniel Gibson of the Cleveland Cavaliers! How NICE is that! She is now back on the scene with yet another album that is FIRE “Calling All Hearts” I just can’t wait to see her!

New Thought Spiritual Teacher Iyanla Vanzant: An inspirational speaker, spiritual teacher and writer. She’s made numerous appearances on Oprah and written really good books on loving yourself, getting through rough times, and spiritual growth. I’m looking forward to being motivated and uplifted because when Iyanla speaks, you walk away feeling educated,  inspired and ready for anything!

 

Former Model Turned Actor Boris Kodjoe: Born in Austria and speaking several languages you may best know Boris Kodjoe from his role as Damon Carter from the Showtime Television Drama Soul Food playing opposite Nicole Ari Parker whom he eventually married FOR REAL! He’s got game! They’re an adorable couple and have a beautiful family. I can’t wait to snap a picture of all his GREATNESS! No disrespect Nicole, he’s gorgeous!

R&B Singer/ Songwriter Musiq Soulchild: This Philly native released Aijuswanaseing in 2000. His music style automatically blew me away with some jazz, blues, soul, hip hop and R&B influences just to name a few.   In 2002 he released Juslisen, 2003 Soulstar, and then took some time off to change management and labels to return with LuvanMusiq in 2007, and OnMyRadio in 2008. Musiq Soulchild is scheduled to release album MusiqInTheMajiq this summer.  I’m looking forward to an amazing show!
