SHE MATTERS: A Women’s Enrichment Event

Join us for an empowering and honest conversation about self-worth, survival, healing, and healthy relationships. Through powerful testimonies and practical encouragement, She Matters will remind every woman that her life has value, her voice deserves to be heard, and her story is not over.

Stories of Strength and Survival

Tiana Simmons Marshall

Survival, Strength, and a Sustained Marriage

Tiana survived—and so did her marriage. She will share her personal journey of overcoming adversity, rebuilding trust, and finding the strength to move forward. Her testimony demonstrates that healing is a process and that restoration is possible when safety, accountability, and genuine change are present.

Valerie Williams

Shot, Spared, and Scarless

Valerie was shot in the head, yet she survived without a scar. Her remarkable testimony is one of preservation, perseverance, and purpose. She will share how she moved beyond a life-threatening experience and discovered that what was intended to destroy her could not cancel her future.

Pastor Shide Weems

Empowered, Equipped, and Empowering Others

Pastor Shide Weems has been empowered to empower. Through an inspiring message, she will encourage women to recognize their worth, reclaim their voices, embrace healing, and use their experiences to strengthen and uplift others.

The Purpose of She Matters

She Matters was created to:

• Raise awareness about domestic violence and its impact.
• Affirm the worth, dignity, and God-given value of every woman.
• Encourage honest conversations about healing and healthy relationships.
• Remind women that abuse is never deserved and silence is not required.
• Inspire survivors to move from pain to purpose and from surviving to thriving.

This experience is not only about what women have endured—it is about who they are becoming. Every woman deserves to feel safe, supported, respected, and empowered because she matters.

There will be a special Q and A session because YOUR VOICE MATTERS!

Bring your friend, bring your daughters, and make it a girls trip.
