About this Event

Kari Kampakis is a best- selling author, podcaster, and national speaker from Birmingham, Alabama. She is the mother of four daughters and a source of wisdom for all who champion for girls everywhere. She shares from her experience, mistakes, vulnerability, and faith, and Columbia cannot wait to hear her speak!

The night will consist of two parts. From 5:30-6:15 Kari will speak to everyone together. We will hear from Kari as she shares, "You are Seen, You Are Loved, Your Life Matters." Kari will touch on an array of subjects, including: what it means to live for God’s approval and not the approval of others, faith, anxiety, social media, friendship, kindness, and owning your faith. This is a wonderful topic for both middle and highschool girls. At 6:30 the girls will have some time for fellowship and bracelet making, while Kari speaks to the women on the topic, "How to Love a Teenager," based on her book, Love Her Well.

There will be Refreshments and Door Prizes.

Please note: This event is for middle school and high school girls, and all the women who care for and love them. If you don't have a daughter, but care about the future and faith of girls and young women, please come! Make it a Ladies' night and come hear Kari speak!
