donna long

Donna is a native of Ohio, where she was groomed in the word and in worship arts ministry and served in various leadership roles for over 20 years. Although she is a mom first, when you experience her down to earth personality, contemporary style, and contagious joy, there's no question why she is an emerging influencer for this generation in the kingdom of God and in the marketplace.


Donna is known by her family, and friends as an encourager and a “lifter”. She is the founder of the Phenomenal Woman Gathering, a community dedicated to empowering women to start and awaken healing conversations, love themselves and others, and to push them to reach for their full potential. Her passion is to use her experiences, insight, and influence to help every soul she encounters to evolve into the best version of themselves.

CHERYL SNYDER

Cheryl is a speaker whose passion is to motivate others to believe they are who God says they are; everyone’s future is greater than their past, and not to allow ANYONE to define who they are except their creator. Cheryl loves God’s challenge to empower, mentor, and nurture individuals to amplify their confidence so they can make a supernatural impact on the world. She mentors with passion, guiding others to effectively find their God charted paths and create new vision and celebrate each next step they may accomplish.


Cheryl is a graduate and continues to graduate from the school of hard knocks and has 60 years of mountain tops and valleys low. She has been a born again Christian since she was 15 and has been involved in many areas of ministry.


Cheryl is down-to-earth, she may not have that most fluent vocabulary but is willing and obedient when/if she is asked and feels God has something to speak through her. You may laugh with her, and you may cry with her, and it’s most likely you will relate to her in some way. Cheryl is passionate about people and ministry. She is especially inspired to help people experience a supernatural surge that would fulfill every plan, purpose and intention God has for them.


Cheryl has earned several titles in her life to include; Daughter, Mom, Wife, Mimi, Wounded to Wonderful, Broken to Beautiful, Victor, not a victim. To God be all the Glory.

Veronica has led bible studies for the young girls that reside at the Vista Maria Girls' Home in Dearborn, Michigan, where volunteers advocate for vulnerable youth.
