About this Event

Don’t Call It A Comeback! Come Out of the Shadows™

Legacy Rising Weekend 2026
March 20–22, 2026 | Raleigh, North Carolina

This is not “just another conference.”
This is a sacred reintroduction.

For years, you’ve carried vision, assignments, and brilliance that were too often minimized, misunderstood, or muted in the name of survival, professionalism, or peace-keeping. Don’t Call It A Comeback!™ — Legacy Rising Weekend is your invitation to step out of the shadows and into the seat of legacy Heaven reserved for you.

Over three transformational days, you will experience:

FRIDAYThe Invitation to Rise

A warm welcome inside the Legacy Lounge sets the tone with ambiance, reflection, and connection. The evening encounter, “The Call Out of the Shadows,” opens the weekend— inviting you to rise into who you were always meant to be.

🕊 SATURDAY: LEGACY IN MOTION

Workshops & sessions designed to move you from concept to clarity and leadership activation:

· Reclaiming your voice

· Leading without shrinking

· Healing after hiddenness

· Realigning with your God-given assignment

· Redefining legacy on your terms

👑 EVENING: LEGACY GALA

🔥 LATE NIGHT: THE SACRED UNWIND™ – FIRESIDE ENCOUNTER PAJAMA SESSION

  • Gentle close so you leave saturated, not overstimulated — carrying the oil of your legacy into the next day.

🌅 SUNDAY: THE SENDING

We do not end with emotional hype. The final gathering is both tender and powerful. The weekend concludes with The Legacy Charge™, a powerful closing experience designed to send you forward strengthened, seen, and spiritually reintroduced — with practical steps, not just feelings.

Who This Weekend Is For

  • Women in corporate, higher education, K–12, ministry, government, entrepreneurship, and the marketplace who are tired of shrinking or self-silencing.
  • Visionaries, leaders, and “go-to” women who carry everybody else and are ready to be poured into.
  • Women who desire sisterhood without competition
  • Women who have silently battled comparison, imposter syndrome, church hurt, workplace politics, or sabotage — and are ready to heal, reset, and rise.
  • Women ready to rise into purpose and clarity
  • Women seeking emotional safety, spiritual alignment, and renewed identity
  • Women hungry for breakthrough, sisterhood, and divine strategy

This is a faith-centered women’s weekend rooted in God, and it is also deeply honoring of your professional life, your leadership, and your legacy in every industry.

What You Can Expect to Leave With

  • A renewed, unshakable sense of identity rooted in God’s voice over your life.
  • Clarity on your assignment in this season — in the boardroom, classroom, pulpit, or marketplace.
  • Sisterhood rooted in honor, not comparison
  • Legacy strategies for life, marketplace, and ministry
  • Genuine connections with women who choose covenant over competition.
  • A weekend that marks your calendar and your generational line.
