And so I'm like, OK, this is great.

You know, I'll share my story.

And then I began to speak and I'd get invitations.

So I'm just facilitating the business of me at that point and being able to like set goals for myself.

And so I think this is just going to be me.

But then I have this idea for a conference and I'm thinking to myself, I didn't really want to have a conference just because I had a popular speaking voice.

I really wanted to have a message that I felt like you could build a movement on.

And for me, that came from studying Eve in the Bible, which like, girl, you know, you may not be a Bible thumper, but let me tell you, Eve get a bad rep.

Everyone knows that whether they're a Bible thumper or not.

I love a girl who knows better, but didn't do better.

And I love a guy that'll meet her in the midst of it all.

And so Woman Evolved was this ode to Eve for all women who knew better, but haven't always done better, but wanted to believe that better could still exist for them.

So I'm going to host a conference.

And I realized that in order to host this conference, I'm going to need to bring in lights.

I'm going to need to bring in cameras.

I'm going to need to bring in speakers.

And so there's a registration fee for the conference.

When I started seeing this money hit my account, I realized, wait a minute, this is a business.

Like we're not just vibing.

We're not just having ideas.
