I’m still buzzing with energy after participating in the truly inspiring Financial Empowerment Convention (FEC) on April 12th, 2025! Gwen, Inc. was honored to be a part of this life-altering event, where I connected with hundreds of incredible leaders from all walks of life, united by a powerful goal: to become financially empowered and literate.

As I said during the event, “We had our minds on our money, and our money on our minds!” The atmosphere was electric, filled with a shared commitment to taking control of our financial futures and building a stronger foundation for ourselves and our communities.

A massive congratulations is in order for Me’Shae Brooks-Rolling, the visionary Executive Producer and Owner of EventPrep, for bringing her five-year dream to life! Incubated during the challenging times of COVID, FEC stands as a testament to the power of perseverance and the beautiful reality that Dreams Do Come True!

Me’Shae’s unwavering dedication and the incredible support she garnered from corporate sponsors, dedicated politicians, and the vibrant ecosystem of CNY women leaders were palpable throughout the entire convention. She and the EventPrep team orchestrated a phenomenal, 5-star experience that truly set a new benchmark for inclusive and impactful conferences.

I was particularly impressed by Me’Shae’s holistic approach to financial wellness, recognizing the crucial interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. This understanding was beautifully reflected in the Convention’s diverse and engaging topic tracks, ensuring that every attendee, regardless of their background or experience, left feeling more knowledgeable, motivated, and ultimately, more empowered than when they arrived.

Me’Shae, take a well-deserved rest! The overwhelming desire for FEC to become an annual event speaks volumes about the profound impact you created.

Thank you for believing in Gwen, Inc. and for including me in this vital movement, Me’Shae. I believe in your vision and your leadership wholeheartedly. Together, we are indeed a force, and I look forward to the continued growth and impact of the Financial Empowerment Convention!
