Keynote Speaker


Overcoming Father Wounds

A father wound refers to a physical, mental, or emotional injury that was intentionally or unintentionally caused by a father. This may be the result of divorce, abandonment, abuse, incarceration, addictions, premature death, or a physically present but emotionally absent father. If a woman is unable to heal from these wounds, she may be impacted by them for her entire life. In Kia’s talk, she helps women see that overcoming the pain of father wounds is possible when we exchange our pain for God’s perfect love.

Breakout Session


Act Like a Writer, Think Like a Business

Many writers dream of earning a great income solely as a professional writer.  Let’s face it, the reality is, many writers don’t make a lot of money doing their craft. If a writer is going to make writing a profession instead of a hobby he/she will need to create multiple streams of income, but how?  In this workshop Kia will tackle business basics she began to implement in order to generate additional streams of income that any writer can follow.
