Speakers

Motivational speakers and panel discussions that promote self-love, self-care, and strong mental health.
Our Women’s Empowerment and Vision Board Party was Zawadi’s first program and is now celebrating its 13th year. This signature event is designed to inspire and empower women by helping them gain clarity, direction, and purpose as they organize and develop their personal and professional lives. The program promotes self-love and self-care through motivational speakers, expert panel discussions, and wellness-centered activities such as yoga, sound baths, and therapeutic massages.

​Guests also participate in a product swap, where attendees exchange gently used clothing and household items. A dinner is served as participants create their vision boards and continue engaging in this uplifting, transformative experience.

​The event has helped hundreds of women establish structure, clarity, and stronger mental well-being in their lives.
