About the Speakers

Jane Jenkins Herlong, Keynote Speaker

The courageous woman is like a giant. She revolutionizes her life in a fearless fashion; she roars like thunder and makes the earth shake. Every day she is determined to continue her journey to discover the best version of herself—to climb the highest mountains and fight falling into the valleys.

With wit and wisdom, Jane shares her personal journey of self-actualization that will encourage you to travel through life with strength, passion, perseverance… plus a healthy dose of humor!

Her journey begins on her father’s farm, where she worked in the tomato fields, and includes stops on a Miss America runway, and performing at Radio City Music Hall. 

Cheryl Banks-Barber

Cheryl will speak about being a Truth Teller and Truth Seeker. When you Shout, the true Voice comes back around. A True Voice is real and doesn’t change: the Voice of integrity, honesty, courage, faith, love etc.

She will share her Truth based on her life experiences as a cancer survivor, a woman of color, a caregiver for her aging parents, and a woman of faith. She’s grown into her Truth. We all have our own journey and should speak our Truth to the world.

She is a retired federal law enforcement officer with extensive experience in both the federal and state courts. She served as a Court Services Specialist and Special Offender Specialist with the U.S. Pretrial Division (Western District of North Carolina) in Charlotte. She devoted 25 years of service to the

federal judiciary until her retirement in 2016. 

Amber Valentine

Allow Amber to take you through the lessons she learned in business and life as she explains her 300-pound transformation, really magnifying the importance of authenticity in leadership so that the people who you attract are easy to lead. When you shine as the real you it gives everyone around you permission to do the same and you become contagious. Get ready to sparkle as you outshine the competition.

Amber is the CEO of Hotmess 2 Hotness LLC and W.I.N. Worth It Nutrition Program. She helps women transform internally, and externally, through her mindful weight loss program, bringing in her message that anyone can make a decision today to make tomorrow better than yesterday….especially in the right pair of heels.
