Women's Issues – Be Inspired by Women of Faith!

"Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies." Proverbs 31:10

In the month of May we honor Our Blessed Mother who encompasses authentic femininity and shows us that women have a special role in God’s plan for salvation! All women, single or married, young or old, with or without children, are called to be like Mary, to be strong and dignified in their relationship with Christ, to embrace their female identity and to serve God, His Church and humanity.

Today, more than ever, it is important that the voices of faithful Catholic women are heard! For your next Women's Conference please consider one of these dynamic Catholic speakers who can ignite the love of Christ in the heart of women, and inspire them to embrace their true feminine identity and God's plan for their lives.

Brenda Sharman

Brenda Sharman was crowned Miss Georgia USA in 1990 after winning the first pageant she ever entered and is now the National Director for Pure Fashion, the country's fastest growing character formation program for teen girls!

After growing up Agnostic, her search for God began in 1990 during the miracle and gift of becoming a mother for the first time. After a long search and studying the teachings of Church Fathers, Brenda entered the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil in April of 1999. One of the specific areas of Brenda's life that was deeply impacted by the realization that she had been called to be a "Woman of God" was her modeling career; her profession and one of the largest parts of her life. "I realized that our culture had grown increasingly more immodest, and indecent, and I had to decide if I was going to be part of the problem or part of the solution."

Brenda's insight into the world of fashion and advertising has helped to establish Pure Fashion as a fun and effective program which helps young women realize their inherent dignity and cultivates in them a desire to live, act and dress in accordance with that dignity. 

Brenda's topics include: Modesty and Respect, Catholic Fashion, Being an Executive and Catholic Woman, Good character development for teen girls, Recognizing what makes a real "Supermodel", God's "7 Beauty Tips" and many more.
