INSPIRE: Rooted in Strength, Empowered to Bloom
A celebration of community, resilience and stories.
An afternoon of storytelling and sisterhood convened by The Whiteside Group.
Hello World Changers! INSPIRE 2025 created something special; a room full of women who showed up authentically. We shared our truths, celebrated our journeys, and lifted each other up. The panelists brought wisdom, the attendees brought heart, and together we built something beautiful. Women walked away with new friendships, fresh perspectives, and a renewed sense of purpose. This is the power of women coming together.

In Memory of Stacey T. Bryant
At INSPIRE, we honored the memory of Stacey T. Bryant, a beloved friend who championed and uplifted everyone around her. Stacey's life was tragically cut short by domestic violence, but her spirit of encouragement lives on. We presented the inaugural Stacey T. Bryant INSPIRE Award to a woman whose resilience and story embody the strength Stacey saw in all of us.
