About this Event
👑🔥 FIRST LADIES—WHO'S AT YOUR TABLE? 🔥👑
You were never called to simply hold a title.
You were called to LEAD. BUILD. BATTLE. AND LEAVE A LEGACY.
Dr. Andrea L. Thompson presents:
👑 THE FIRST LADY LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE
THE DEBORAH MANDATE
Women Who Lead. Build. Battle.
📅 Saturday, October 17, 2026
⏰ 11:00 AM–3:00 PM
📍 Belle Isle Flynn Pavilion
🌳 Belle Isle Park | Detroit, MI
This is NOT another women's brunch.
🔥 This is a 4-Hour Leadership Intensive & Luncheon Experience for First Ladies, women in ministry, executives, entrepreneurs, educators, nonprofit leaders, community leaders, emerging leaders, and women of influence who know there is another level of leadership inside of them.
We're creating a room for the conversations women leaders don't always get to have:
👑 How do you lead beside the vision without losing yourself?
🏗️ How do you build a team instead of doing everything yourself?
⚔️ How do you know which battles deserve your attention?
🔥 How do you handle criticism, jealousy, conflict, rejection, and betrayal without allowing them to change your character?
🛡️ How do you establish boundaries when everybody wants access to you?
👑 And perhaps the biggest question:
WHO ARE YOU DEVELOPING TO LEAD AFTER YOU?
First Lady, DON'T JUST COME TO THE TABLE—BUILD ONE.
Bring the women you're pouring into.
Bring the woman who's already leading.
Bring the woman serving faithfully behind the scenes.
Bring the woman who doesn't realize she's a leader yet.
Bring the woman you've been watching and thinking:
“THERE IS SOMETHING INSIDE OF HER.”
And we're taking this experience even further with exclusive opportunities:
📸 EXECUTIVE IMAGE EXPERIENCE

👑 EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE

“How high can I go?”
