Wynn Enlightened curates events for community building to reduce isolation and promote healing.
Fall is coming!! What better time than to snuggle up with books. And you know what’s even better? Sharing books with new friends. Join me and BlessdFriendzz for an exciting Fall event in Toledo, OH. Blind Date with Books will be an epic and engaging event with new friends, new books, and a gathering of minds.
Register on Eventbrite! We can’t wait for you to join us!
My social media engagement is down but that’s okay. I’ve been filling my time with things to feed my soul and resting.
I’m back on quickly to share that the extended version of Sisterhood Connections will take place on October 19th. The plan is to meet quarterly to pray, share lessons, and encouraging each other.
The location is still TBD. Stay tuned!!
Hey folks! We had a great time at the brunch on Aug. 10th that we want to keep the momentum going. Please complete a brief survey - the link is in the bio or DM for the link.
Can’t wait to connect soon!

Still overjoyed from this weekend! I tried to keep the negativity at bay when I wanted to cancel. I do struggle with notions of popularity in the city, but I press through.
God pushed me and pressed because so many stories came out of Sisterhood Connections! It wasn’t about who/what was popular, but who/what was purposeful.
If you haven’t noticed yet, this is about to be a post about transparency.
I shared things with my husband and he shared people with me. I was more interested in heart posture than working a room and a position. Someone can be high achieving and still broken inside with no hopes or work towards healing.
The event turned out to be a beautiful, engaging, and joyful time. The presence of God was in the place.
Thanks to everyone who trusted me to lead this. Thanks to everyone who shared their gifts. Thanks to everyone for stepping out on faith to make change and live a purpose-filled life and start healing.
Logging on (and quickly off) to share that my sis will be our guest speaker for Sisterhood Connections! We can't wait to see what gems are graced upon the ladies attending!
See you next week!
It’s time to pause. I’ve decided to pause the journal prompts for now. But I will also be pausing to devote time to prayer and fasting leading up to the brunch. There are so many distractions in the world and on social media now. Plus, it’s my prayer that the upcoming brunch encourages people in a way that’s transformative and healing. I have to go in with the right heart posture and can’t do that distracted.
This means:
📝 I won’t be checking DMs
📝 I won’t see story tags or post tags
📝 I most likely won’t read comments until after Aug. 9th
Be blessed and stay focused! ❤️
Day 12 QOTD: How are you supporting and uplifting the next generation? What are ways you’re “passing the baton” to younger women?
We often think about being mentored or supporting people our age, but our young people also need support especially during these times. I feel as if we're connected by social media, but disconnected with intimate, caring, loving relationships among friendships and mentorship.
Day 11 QOTD: If you were to do a book or some other project to
honor someone you have built a sisterhood with, what would it be?
Day 10 QOTD: How have you been a good friend to those you say you cherish and care for?
Day 9 QOTD: Life has its trials and tribulations, and we’re not supposed to walk this journey alone. So when times get tough, who do you lean on for support?
We're on day eight! This question is interesting to me because it's something I struggle with from time to time. I like meeting new people but I also don't like being disappointed. Making new friends is a risk.
QOTD: Are you team “I have all the friends I need” or team “the more the merrier”? Or are you somewhere in between? Explain why you chose your answer.
Just a reminder that I'm resting on the weekend. New reflection questions starting Monday!
Day seven is about experiences. Take a moment to reflect on your top five experiences with your friends. What did you do? Where did you go? What made the experiences memorable?
If you can't think of five experiences, what are ways you can create new and memorable experiences with friends?
It's finally here! The news you've been waiting for. 📢📢📢📢

Hey all! Just a reminder about some engaging events being hosted by yours truly this summer and fall. Tickets are limited for both events, so don't delay!
QOTD: Reflecting on your relationship building experience, does making connections come easy to you? Why or why not?
QOTD: When was the last time you spent time with your friends outside of social media? What did you do with your friends? What was your experience?
QOTD: Who have you wanted to connect with but haven't been able to? What's keeping you from connecting/meeting with them?
Hey lovelies! We're on day three of the journaling series and I'm so glad you're on this journey with me. As we close out this week and go into the weekend, this prompt is meant to really dig deep and think about obstacles to building and maintaining relationships. If we're honest, it's not always the other person. Sometimes it can be unrealistic expectations we set or we expect others to be responsible for our emotional care and needs. That's a lot of pressure for new relationships.
Are we giving new relationships time to grow organically or are we rushing into them because we feel lonely?
Today's prompt can also include external factors. Maybe our geographically location or work schedule makes it difficult to build and maintain relationships.
If you need to, take a few days to reflect on this question. See you on Monday!
We're on day two! There are times when we initially focus on the negative, but we're going to start with positive thoughts. Thinking back on relationships and connections, there are times when we've had great experiences from the start whether those people are still in our lives or not. We're not focused on the end today, but on the beginning.
Today's question is: What are great experiences you've had when meeting and connecting with women to build relationships?
To expand, think about where you met, who else was around, and what type of environment you were in.
Hey lovelies! It's day one for the series on reflecting on sisterhood. As we're gearing up for the brunch on August 10th (don't forget to register), I'll be posting weekday prompts to encourage reflection and conversations on sisterhood and relationships.
Today's questions are: How do you define sisterhood? What has been your experience connecting with other women?
What are your thoughts?
Stay tuned for day one of the journaling series with a focus on sisterhood and relationships. Each weekday, you’ll receive journal prompts to reflect on relationships you’ve had and relationships you want to cultivate in the future.
I’m excited to take this journey with you! 💜💗
Several years ago, I led an online journaling series and I’m bringing back to prep for the Aug. 10th event. From July 10th until Aug. 9th, there will be daily (weekday) reflection questions about sisterhood and your personal journey with building and maintaining relationships.
Don’t miss out on the upcoming events happening in the Toledo area. These events will bring people together in a unique and engaging setting. Tickets for both events are limited, so don’t delay!

If you saw my posts leading up to May, you would've seen my Navigating Mother's Day event to provide a space for collective healing. Well, I've been led to turn those mini sessions into weekly lessons. In 2025, I'll be co-hosting virtual sessions with two of the topics to start. We'll be covering grief and forgiveness over a couple of months. Applications will be available at the end of 2024. Because the topics can bring up a lot of emotions, it is advised that participants seek support from a licensed mental health professional as these sessions are not substitutes for therapy. But they will allow us to connect, share, learn, and support each other in an intimate space. #CommunityEngagement #communitybuilding #generationalhealing #facilitator #healingsession #collectivehealing #healingjourney #coaching #therapy
This weekend was filled with excitement and exploring the city through the #bookswap I hosted and a pre-Juneteenth celebration hosted by New Works Writers Series. Stay tuned for more events from me by clicking the follow button!
My vision for Sisterhood Connections would not be possible without the support of the local community. Tag your favorite business who would be great to partner with for this opportunity.
