Fisher and the Ladies of Abyssinian Missionary Baptist Church, 3890 Millbranch Road, presented their third annual Women’s Empowerment Conference on Saturday, March 23, 2019. This year’s event, themed #IAMHER: I Am Enough!, was inspired from 1 Corinthians 15:10. “The focal point of the #IAMHER movement is to empower women,” said Fisher. “Today, we want you to be reminded of who you really are.” Minister Regina Clark gave the opening prayer and Minister Tameka Greer set the tone for the multiple workshop event with a spoken word moment. Each of the three rounds of workshops were split into two topics and attendees could choose the workshop that was most relevant for them to attend. “Our committee has been working hard to plan a wonderful day for you, full of learning, laughter, and light-hearted fun,” said Fisher. “You are what makes this conference and this movement so impactful.” Workshop presenters scheduled to attend the event included Ashley Dortch, LMSW; Jacqueline E. Oselen; Rev. Alaenor Faye London; Pastor Karren D. Todd; Rachel Sumner Haaga; Zaquishia Green, and Keynote Speaker Dr. Rosalyn Nichols.
