Pink Power: A Mastermind Conference for Women TOOK OVER Atlanta! Held August 14-15 this conference was everything. The two masterminds behind this event were Felicia Phillips of Fillips International, Inc. and Kim N. Carswell. What they were able to do for not only the city of Atlanta but for each and every participant was nothing short of fantastic. This conference brought together Women Entrepreneurs AND Women in Business. For 2 days attendees took advantage of Workshops, Speakers, A Gala Event, Exhibitors and Panelists. The entire event kicked off at the beautiful Marriott Marquis – Atlanta and closed at Philips Arena.
As Social Media Manager for this event I managed 4 phenomenal bloggers: Tarin Boone (@NaturalMeMedia) Turkesha McIvy (@NaturalBabyDol) Kia Morgan Smith (@TheCincoMom) and Yalanda Lattimore (@DryerBuzz). Together we were able to help spread the word about Pink Power through Social Media before it took place. A Pink Power Blogger was also present at each of the activities and reported from it live on both days. Please follow each one of these ladies on twitter and search hashtag #PPMC2014 to see our tweets, Facebook posts and Instagram updates.

Day 1 – Workshops, Brunch, Pink Power Awards Gala
Ladies were up bright and early for breakfast, then front and center for workshops on Day 1.
Day 1 was PINK POWER packed with educational, inspirational, motivational workshops and speakers. Some of the topics included:
Microsoft Essentials presented by Microsoft
The Power of Networking
Turning Your Expertise into a Book
Unleashing Your Best You
Bonnie Ross-Parker, Assantua Howard, Deborah Respress and Becky Davis
It ended with the STAR studded Pink Power Awards Gala! The Great Gatsby was the theme so feathered boas and flapper style attire was en vogue. Celebrities like Renee Lawless from Tyler Perry’s The Haves and the Have Nots and Towanda Braxton graced the Pink Carpet. It didn’t stop there because we also got to see local celebs like Riverdale, GA Mayor, Evelyn Winn-Dixon and Dr. Heavenly Kimes from the popular reality show Married to Medicine.
The awards gala followed and was accompanied by an upscale sit down dinner. Food, drink and live music flowed as women were honored and awarded for their work in business and our community.

Pink Power: A Mastermind Conference for Women’s inaugural event was the start of something major. It was an honor to be a part of the beginning of it all and I am looking forward to seeing where this initiative is heading from here. Bringing together like-minded women, entrepreneurs and women in business alike is truly “masterminding” at it’s finest.
