SET an Example Conference Backdrop

A weekend filled with Passion Purpose and Philanthropy – SET an Example Conference

When over 100 athlete’s wives get together, there’s bound to be something worth telling. And this weekend was no different. And we’re here to tell all.

Friday night’s reception set the stage for the weekend. The swank reception hall welcomed women of the NFL across all 32 teams and the organizers of the SET the example Conference pulled out all stops to exceed the expectations of such an elite group of women.

NFL Wives at SET an Example ConferenceClose your eyes and imagine being greeted with the epitome of sophistication. Sultry music humming, glitter gold draped highboys, hot pink back drops, haloed by the beautiful downtown Atlanta skyline. When you think pro athlete wives, you instantly think luxury and this conference didn’t disappoint. The flowered step and repeat gave an air of sophistication, not to mention the gold glitter carpet that added just the right amount of sparkle to every photo taken. Plush seating and matching white orchids added that soft feminine touch, catching the eye of every attendee. I must say, Tiffany Cook of Tiffany Cook Events outdid herself, making it the perfect atmosphere to chat and unwind.

Friday night set the tone for Saturday – its where the magic happened. Patrick Walker Reese, the event host and only male in the room, held his own and kept everyone intrigued and engaged. There’s a lot to be said for a man who can evoke thoughtful conversation for a full day; in a room full of strong, opinionated women. While I won’t spill all the tea on the conference, its only right that I give you some insight on how the SET an Example Conference came through .

The Truth About Domestic Violence

This is never an easy topic.emotions and opions weren’t lacking on this topic.

This panel discussion was led by Dr. Keita Joy Ductant, Cecelia Simon, Janay Rice and Sarina Renee.

Love, Sex & Self Expressions

We take love and sex for granted. During this session we learned that with both, you must be intentional. We also learned that expectations are very different for women and men. Most women are drawn to the emotional side of the two. Men, well, they’re just different. We learned the importance and impact of 7 minutes (you’d had to be there to understand this jewel). And learning how to “SQUEEZE” makes all the difference when it come sex. This entertaining and informative discussion was led by Iesha Bailey and Grace Allen.
