Meet Kristi Wells
Today’s woman grew up in a wonderful home full of love and guidance. She learned at an early age about honesty, hard work and humility and how to not be afraid to look evil in the eye. Through her father’s work she was often around top CEOs and came to believe she could change the world. At the age 16 her view of life changed when she saw children as young as 6 being sold into sex trafficking and it was something she couldn’t un-see in her mind. However, she tucked the image away and went on to marry and become a mother but deep down she always knew she was blessed with money and opportunities and that it was all for a reason. And at the age of 34, she decided to act on what she had seen at 16. She launched Safe House Project and began building a network of safe homes for those rescued from human trafficking.

Meet Sonia Santra
Today’s woman was always curious as a child. Wrapped within this curiosity was a lot of personal and family expectations. She was taught early to take care of herself and follow the rules. And these rules and expectations impacted her in negative and positive ways as she matured. She went off to college and while there, got booked for commercials. She was curious once again and wondered what acting would be like. So, she moved to California and, after competing with 6000 other young women, landed a major acting role on the daytime TV show Guiding Light. This eventually led to another lead role on the show One Life To Live. Through it all, she learned the powerful connection between moving her body and controlling her mind and the reality it could create. Today she helps others create the reality they want by showing them how to combine movement with mindset to access a normally inaccessible part of their brains. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Sonia Satra.

Meet Michele Hall-Duncan
This woman didn’t understand as a child she was low income. Everyone she saw had the basics covered so to her they were doing just fine.

As an adult, she thought she would be lawyer, but instead she graduated with a communications and advertising degree. As she explored what life might hold for her, she had an opportunity to volunteer at a non-profit focused on helping children and their families cope in difficult medical situations.

Meet Kate Curran
This woman grew up in a household of strong values - values that centered on public service, integrity and education. And she found being a lawyer of public policy allowed her to practice all three. But by age 42, she had lost both parents and a brother within 18 months and what she loved doing now all of a sudden had no meaning. She left her high paying law career without a plan and began to travel the world. And in traveling to foreign places she saw things that touched her heart – extreme poverty, children begging and 10 year old boys laboring in the mountains. None of these children were in school…a place she knew they needed to be. And she realized that it was she that needed to make this happen. The “School The World'' organization was born. And through providing education to the extreme poor, to local governments and to communities, this woman’s path to greatness continues to unfold. It is my pleasure to introduce to you Kate Curran.
