CYWC Expo “Celebrating You Women’s Conference”

Brother Marcus was on the scene in Philadelphia for the highly anticipated CYWC Expo, an inspiring and transformative event designed to uplift and empower individuals from all walks of life. This expo, which brought together a wide range of powerful and motivational speakers, created an atmosphere of positivity, transformation, and purpose—not just for Philadelphia but for individuals beyond the tri-state area as well. The speakers included influential voices from various parts of the United States and even as far away as Barbados. Among them was none other than Les Brown, widely regarded as one of the most impactful and inspirational speakers of our time.
The CYWC Expo, now celebrating its incredible 10th anniversary, was the vision of Carolyn Wilson, a woman known for her passion, determination, and ability to inspire change. Over the past decade, Carolyn has consistently demonstrated a rare gift for bringing together a diverse collection of individuals—authors, doctors, entrepreneurs, movie producers, educators, and countless others—who come together under one roof to inspire, encourage, and remind attendees that anything is possible. Carolyn’s message has always been clear: Regardless of your background, you can become anything you want as long as you believe in yourself and remain committed to the journey. Her work has left a lasting impact, and this year’s expo proved to be no different—it was truly a sight to behold and a breath of fresh air for Philadelphia and the surrounding areas.
The event featured a dynamic lineup of workshops, each tailored to meet the specific needs of those in attendance. These sessions provided not only practical tools and resources–but also heartfelt encouragement and motivation. Whether attendees sought personal or professional growth, the workshops offered that personal touch, catering to individuals who were ready to step into their purpose or overcome the challenges standing in their way. These workshops were a major highlight of the expo, as they allowed participants to engage in meaningful discussions, learn new skills, and leave with actionable takeaways to implement in their daily lives.
In addition to the inspiring sessions, the CYWC Expo also featured a diverse array of vendors who played an important role in supporting the event. These vendors offered their products, services, and insights, making valuable contributions to the uplifting atmosphere of the expo. From local entrepreneurs sharing their expertise to organizations providing resources, the vendors added another layer of engagement and connection, ensuring attendees had access to tools and support long after the event concluded.
What made this year’s expo particularly powerful was the genuine sense of community and unity it fostered. It was more than just an event—it was an experience that left attendees feeling motivated, empowered, and ready to take action in their own lives. Carolyn Wilson’s ability to create a space where people from different backgrounds can come together in the spirit of empowerment is nothing short of extraordinary. Under her leadership, the CYWC Expo has become a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of belief, resilience, and possibility.
For Philadelphia and the surrounding region, this event was a much-needed moment of renewal and inspiration. In a time when so many people are seeking guidance, encouragement, and connection, the CYWC Expo delivered exactly that. It reminded everyone in attendance that their dreams are not out of reach—they simply need to believe in their ability to achieve them. Brother Marcus’s presence at the event allowed for a firsthand experience of the magic that unfolded. The expo’s powerful energy, impactful speakers, and a deep sense of purpose made it clear why it continues to thrive year after year.
Here’s to the next decade of transformation, empowerment, and inspiration!
