Meet our Speakers:

Valerie Reed, LBSW is the founder of Strong to the Finish LLC. She is a native of Compton, California, who grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. After attending Prairie View A&M University and obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and a Master’s Sociology she worked in the Social Work Field in Las Vegas, Nevada and Houston, Texas for approximately 10 yrs. She decided to change careers and focus on education, where she has been teaching for 16 yrs. She is the mother of 3 children, Ryan 19, Kayla 18, and Micah 13. Valerie is a member of The Wisconsin Sleepers, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., and Order of The Eastern Star. Valerie is also the author of Stay Strong, Finish Strong! A story of hope and encouragement for those who have and will experience Grief and Loss. She is also the author of Through Micah’s Eyes, which is a children’s book that portrays her son Micah on the day of his father’s funeral. This book was featured on a Virtual Book Fair with Royston Publishing. Valerie’s latest book, Grieving Under God’s Grace (A Prayer Journal) is a book of prayers for grief and loss for 21 days. Valerie recently became the host of Strength for The Journey on Rhema Gospel Radio 101.5 FM KOER, in Houston, Texas in which we feature Stories of Strength to encourage others.

Valerie enjoys empowering others, especially women by sharing her story of grief and loss. December 15, 2021 Valerie became a Licensed Minister and she is a proud member of The Word of God Christian Fellowship, where Pastor Erick W. Hoskin presides as the Pastor. Valerie’s goal is to encourage herself and others by speaking up and speaking out about grief and loss, because she has suffered loss but manages to keep going by holding on to faith and family. The whole purpose is to stay in the race and finish strong!

Registration is still open to join us:

I wasn’t going to say anything; but I’m going to be the Bold Kingdom Woman that God has called me to be; and still forming me to be!!

This workshop isn’t “only” for women but men as well!! We “ALL NEED HEALING”!!

You may be asking or wondering why don’t you have any “men” as speakers? Good question!! My answer: I reached out they either declined or ignored me..🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Healing is a choice!! You want it? We can help you or get you on the right path to begin your journey!! All we need is “your” Yes and not even to us but to God…we are just “His” agents! “His” willing vessels!!

We all been through some things that were sent to take us out!! But God, we came out stronger and better and we seek to help others!!

If you want to begin this journey with us; men and women!! Here is the link to register:

Workshop: It’s Time to Heal
Where: Zoom
When: 2/26/22 2pm-4pm
Why: Healing is necessary! Healing is vital to every aspect of our lives!
Cost: Free

I’m always hearing people say that God will meet you where you are at? But guess what He doesn't expect you to stay in the place where He found you; He expects you to go higher! We have to do our part!

2 Corinthians 5:17 says this “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come”! CSB Version

We have to get healed! We have to go through the process!

Are you ready? Are you willing?
