The Dear Women Wellbeing Conference marks one year of impact, growth, and healing, and we’re celebrating one year of business by launching a movement.
This isn’t just an event, it’s a movement centred on wellbeing and real-life transformation. Rooted in the Black experience and open to MEN & WOMEN. The Dear Women Wellbeing Conference creates space to prioritise your emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental wellness, while inviting allies to support and journey with us.
When you say “yes” to your ticket, here’s what you’re actually receiving:
✔️ You’ll finally feel emotionally held, not just seen and heard, but deeply understood, without having to explain yourself or wear a mask.
(You’re allowed to just be.)
✔️ You’ll leave with simple, sustainable tools to help you manage your wellbeing long after the conference ends.
(No more quick fixes. Just real support that fits your life.)
✔️ You’ll reconnect with your true self, with God, and with a community that feels like home, people who get it, without you needing to shrink or perform.
(You don’t have to do this alone anymore.)
✔️ You’ll walk away lighter - with peace in your chest, clarity in your steps, and the strength to move into your next season without burning out.
(This time, you’ll move forward from a place of wholeness, not survival.)
✔️ You’ll begin to break generational cycles - naming what’s been unspoken and starting the healing journey not just for you, but for those coming after you.
(Your healing is legacy work.)
