✨Introducing one of our panelist, Sarah Lundry.✨

“I’m a daughter of the King, passionate people lover & Topeka native. I’m a stage 4 cancer survivor who is overjoyed to have another day on this earth surrounded by family, friends, and a community I love. ☺️ I hope to be a light in the world & bring glory to the Kingdom through my life.”

“Supporting women to me means meeting women where they’re at & lifting them up through love and kindness. To gently encourage & empower them to remember what they’re capable of, that they’re more than physical attributes they’re so easily defined in this world by & that they’re able to sit at any table with a voice & opinions that matter and that their past does not define their future ❤️”

➡️Fun fact: I’m a song writer, singer and acoustic guitar player. It’s my favorite way to spend spare time!”

18/08/2023

✨Introducing one our panelist: Mikaela Gibbs.✨

“I am a woman of God, daughter, sister, and friend. I recently graduated from Washburn School of Law. I work for a Criminal Defense firm, and have a new found interest in Civil Rights Advocacy.

Supporting Women for me looks like actively encouraging other women to be themselves. Whether they are strong, bold, laugh loud, etc. I believe the quicker we can unapologetically be ourselves, the easier it is for us to empower and support each other. I’m here to set my sisters free, and cheer them on to be exactly who they were created to be!”

➡️Fun Fact: “I am a lover of coffee, celebration, fitness, and family!”
Mikaela Gibbs

17/08/2023

✨Introducing one of our panelist, Kayla Lyons✨

“I am Kayla Lyons, a light that God has commissioned to be in the world.

Supporting women looks like providing a safe place for them to know that, while they’re situation may be new to them, nothing they’re going through is new on the earth, there has been someone who has walked the path you’re walking, and there is support to help walk through it and come
Our victorious!”

➡️Fun Fact: Something that I love (as my fun fact lol) Biscoff cookie icecream, reading on rainy days, festivals and my spending time with my hubby! Kayla Lyons

17/08/2023

✨Introducing one of our panelist, Tyisha Terry✨

I’m a Pastor at Victory City Church along side my husband Titus Terry. We have two handsome Adults Children.

“Regardless of who we are at the end of everyday to bring encouragement to any lady. To help them believe in themselves again. We are loved you are special and we are all needed, you are created for a purpose with a purpose. And by bringing encouragement and being listener to help women discover their purpose and calling in life.”

👇🏽Fun Fact: I love to bake. A lot of bakers actually taste what they make. I never do 😂 I can tell it turned out beautifully by how it looks odd I know. But it always seems to turn out amazing.”

15/08/2023

✨Introducing one of our panelist, Ashton Veazey✨

“I am a follower of Jesus, mother, friend, daughter, leader, and some may say a fashionista!

Supporting women to me is recognizing where they’ve been, where they are now and where they are going! Valuing every part of their story. Supporting women is being transparent, hopeful, and attentive. It means being inspired by their success and appreciating one another’s strengths.”

➡️Fun fact about me is I was a two time Sonic gold medalist in the Dr.
Pepper Sonic Games meaning I can make a bomb cherry limeade!”
- Ashton Veazey

“Black Excellence
…it’s not a color, but a state of mind.”

✨Meet Tierra Nicole Patterson✨

"I am a preschool teacher at Patterson family Childcare Center, a worship leader at Living Truth Christian Church, a wife to Eric Patterson Jr as well as an artist, poet, and singer.

Supporting women looks like genuinely encouraging, listening to, believing in, and loving all women regardless of age or race. It is looking at every woman that you meet and saying “You are just as much a beloved Child of God as I am.”

Fun Fact: I have two sweet dogs named Bella and Honey. And even though they’ve never met you, I can guarantee they love you!"

✨Introducing Miranda Chavez-Hazim✨

“I’m an activator, connector, a self taught photographer, a local social media influencer, and huge supporter of all things local. I love the city I was born and raised in. My hope is to change the negative mindset some have of topeka into a positive one and to find the beauty here and love it as much as I do.

To me supporting women means showing up when they need you the most and even when they don’t. Sometimes that means early morning coffee dates to start the week off, talking about our highs and lows, sometimes that means taking phone calls in the wee hours of the night to just be a listening ear, sometimes that means praying with them and for them. Supporting women means cheering them on when they can’t cheer for themselves, fighting with them when times get too hard, helping them carry the burden so they don’t have to carry it alone. Simply being there in any way, shape, or form I can.”

➡️”Fun fact about me is when I was little I wanted to be a DJ. because everyone loves music and it brings everyone together. Another fun fact is my first pets I’ve ever owned are the two bunnies I have now!
Miranda Chavez-Hazim

✨Meet India Yarborough✨

"I’m a compassionate communications professional with an eye for detail, a passion for community, and a desire to center connection, equity, and empowerment in all I do!

To me, supporting women means emphasizing collaboration over competition. It’s about uplifting fellow women, while pushing and encouraging them to be the fullest, most true versions of themselves. It’s about seeing the light in each woman around me, rather than focusing on flaws or making jokes about shortcomings. And, ultimately, supporting women looks like all of us working together to build a brighter, more fair future for all."

Fun fact?
"When I think about it, even the music I listen to and the books I read tend to be by women! That hasn’t always been conscious consumption on my part, but I find myself gravitating toward stories, perspectives, voices, and works of arts that speak to women’s experiences in this world. Not sure if that counts as a “fun fact,” but it was the first thing to come to mind since we’re on the topic! Haha."

✨Meet Del-Metrius Herron✨

"I am a child of God, wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister, leader, entrepreneur, and combat veteran. For me, Supporting women means, showing up for them, it means being present in intimate conversations, it means being a safe space to share your heart, it means clapping for their success, and sitting with them when they weep."

Fun fact: "I know the alphabet in sign language."
