A Message from Diantha McLeod, Founder and CEO of Healing Broken Vessels
Dear Beloved Supporters, Participants, Staff, Vendors, and Donors, With a heart overflowing with gratitude and praise, I write to thank you for making the 2025 “The Battle Is Not Yours” Women’s Conference and Fashion Show an extraordinary success.
Your presence, prayers, and participation transformed our vision into a powerful day of faith, empowerment, and elegance that will resonate within our community for a long time to come.
We began the morning by renewing our spirits with the uplifting messages from our dynamic speakers, Rev. Sherry Kennedy, Minister Saunya Williams, and Gail High. The worship led by Hannah Brown & Company and the moving praise dance by Audra Lafayette set a divine tone, reminding us all that the battle truly is the Lord’s.
The afternoon ushered in “A Season of Elegance” with our 16th Annual Fashion Show. To see our volunteer models from across the state shine on the stage, accompanied by the divine selections from the Kynett United Methodist Church Choir, was a beautiful testament to the strength and grace within every woman. It was an afternoon of stunning style, celebrating the resilience we strive to nurture every day!
A special thank you to our incredible vendors and local business partners, including BODEGA BEAN, ELEVATE$$, RHONDA TALLEY, EWING CONSULTING, and so many more! Your partnership is a vital thread in the fabric of our mission.
To our dedicated staff and volunteers—your selfless service behind the scenes ensured that every detail, from the welcoming breakfast catered by Bodega Bean, to the final bow of the fashion show, was seamless. You are the hands and feet of this ministry. Most importantly, thank you to every one who joined us. Your open hearts and spirits are the reason we do this work. Because of your support—through ticket purchases, lunch donations, and your generous spirits—we can continue to empower women in Middle Tennessee through essential programs like basic computer training, life development skills, and workforce preparation. You have helped us continue the vital work of healing broken vessels, motivating, educating, and empowering women to achieve self-sufficiency. Together, we are building resilience and hope, one woman at a time.
With sincere thanks and blessings,
— Diantha McLeod, Founder and CEO Healing Broken Vessels, Inc.
