A Season of Elegance: Beauty in My Brokenness Video – Thank You Everyone

We would like to thank you for your support in Healing Broken Vessels’ 13th Annual Fashion Show: Beauty in My Brokenness!

You have helped our women’s center with its mission of creating lasting changes that positively impact the community. As we continue to educate, motivate, and empower women in Wilson County, Tennessee, and beyond it is our desire that you continue to support our mission.

Projects for Healing Broken Vessels are never completed without the active participation of generous and whole hearted folks like you. This center strives because of your generosity. We would like to especially thank the models for their participation in our fashion show and the volunteers.

Ten volunteers brought out their best styles and struts for a virtual event last Saturday, November 5, 2022 that took place in in Lebanon, Tennessee. The event kicked off with an amazing praise and worship performance done by Saunya Williams, Ph.D.

Born in Pittsburgh, PA, Dr. Saunya M. Williams (also known as Dr. Saunya) was a first-generation college student and graduate. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina A&T State University, a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, a Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and a Master of Religious Leadership from Emory University. She faced many obstacles and heard voices of discouragement, but she refused to give up. Dr. Saunya wanted to be an example of what was not commonly seen in her community. In the end, she said, “My academic journey was crazy tough…but, God!”

The fashion show continues its virtual presentation with an array of amazing models whom without, it would not have been possible to have another successful fashion show for the thirteenth year in a row:


  • Pastor Luanna Tollett
  • Shayla Woodson
  • Kayce Tollett
  • Diane Weidemann
  • Andrea Clemons
  • Maleiha Shockley
  • Zoey Clemons
  • Cynthia Gist
  • Jasmine Riggs
  • Yvonne Johnson

We humbly and sincerely thank all of our models, donors, silent auction participants, board members, and volunteers for making for another successful fashion for 2022. Registration for A Season of Elegance 2023 will be available next month. Please check our website frequently for updates!
