Welcome back for Pt 2 Join me, Megan Ashley and my best friend, Jackie Hill Perry, As we share the journey of organizing a large-scale conference rooted in diversity and inclusivity. Inspired by the lack of representation at a past event, we felt called to create a space for spiritual enrichment for people like us. What started as a small retreat featuring speakers like Dr. Sarita Lyons and Dr. Eric Mason grew into a vision for an event welcoming up to 500 attendees.

In this episode, we recount the challenges we faced—logistical hurdles, financial concerns, and personal trials like depression and self-doubt. With the support of sponsors and unwavering faith in God’s provision, we persevered through setbacks, growing as leaders along the way.

Reflecting on moments of spiritual struggle and revelation, we discuss the profound impact of the Acts 242 conference, lessons in leadership, and the importance of community. We celebrate the volunteers and attendees who made it all possible and look forward to the future with hope and faith.
