Women Inspiring Women got its humble beginning in 2009. Meetings were held at different restaurants or someone’s home. God spoke to Janet in January of 2016, that "it was time to take WIW to the next level."
WIW needed a set place, date, and time for meetings.
Janet shared her vision with her husband and pastor and they gave their blessings. She also shared her vision with her prayer partners. At that time they were sister Kaye Davis and her daughter Johnetta Viers. She asked them to pray that God would direct her to the right place and connect her with the right ladies for the vision.
God is amazing!
Through her daughter’s connection with Cupcakes and Pearls, a mentoring ministry for girls ages 7-17, owner Nikki Johnson and her assistant Shoshannah Anderson, God opened the door for WIW to hold meetings on the second Friday night of the month in the Decatur Mall.
Our first meeting was held Friday, March 11, 2016.
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?
We host a Daughter of the King Brunch, to allow the women and girls to dress up and feel as though they are daughters of the King. They are royal and loved. We offer back to school cash vouchers for families that qualify. We allow working women that can drive a six month loaner car to get back and forth to work. We didn't stop meeting during the pandemic, we switch to classes and training via zoom.
All women and girls have the opportunity to attend our core curriculum of 60 hours of classroom work. Each will earn a certificate of completion.
