UPCOMING EVENTS

Women Veterans Engage Conference
Date: 
May 31, 2025

Ignite Your Confidence (IYC)
Date: TBA

Let’s be real—whether we admit it or not, entertainment plays a major role in how we escape, feel joy, and connect. While the industry offers creativity and opportunity, it also harbors deep-rooted issues—abuse of authority, strategic exploitation, and a culture of silence.  Ignite Your Confidence, launched in May 2021, is a bold movement designed to empower storytellers and artists to own their God-given gifts, sharpen their craft, and boldly pursue their calling. It also stands as a courageous call to expose and challenge exploitation, grooming, and abuse in the entertainment world—through truth, solidarity, advocacy, and unwavering support.

 

Join us at IYC for an unforgettable experience that blends powerful storytelling, purpose-driven performances, and uplifting community energy. This event isn’t just entertainment—it’s a movement to inspire confidence, spark change, and amplify voices that need to be heard.
