KaVaciea Enterprises Strong Women Conference II was hosted on October 24th, 2015. It was eagerly anticipated after the resounding success of its predecessor in 2014, generating vocal requests for it to be established as an annual event. The conference was originally conceived, organised, sponsored and hosted by ChancesKavaciea (C.E.O. of Kavaciea Enterprises) with the purpose of motivating and empowering an all-female audience while examining notions of partnership, self-esteem, self-knowledge, friendship and sisterhood.

The conference featured an impressive array of keynote and guest speakers featuring Lyburtii, EmpressCocoKnight3t, ChancesKavaciea and TwystedMystyque while established IMVU entertainer Triexa and I both provided the evening's entertainment. I was privileged to both witness and participate in the event which was one of the highlights of my IMVU year and an absolute pleasure to attend.

Members of the audience relaxed in an impressive venue to the soothing sounds of cool jazz. 1stLadyDiamonds opened the event with prayer and edification. Chances then formally welcomed us all and acknowledged October as the month in the year devoted to bringing awareness to Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence. We had a moment of silence to remember those who had lost their lives and celebrate those who had survived these ordeals. Lyburtii (best known as the founder of the Wedding Network) headlined the conference, opening with a prayer of her own then following it with an articulate and succinct delivery that examined a woman’s role in a committed Christian partnership. We carefully pored over Proverbs 31 Verses 10 through 31. This proved to be a pertinent speech for so many of us who seek partners on IMVU or off-line. Lyburtii presented the biblical ideal of an affectionate and companionate partnership based on mutual respect, trust and a complementary equality. Indeed, the ‘Proverbs 31 woman’ was a force to be reckoned with.

Her words painted a picture of a dynamic, active and confident woman – one who had secured the utmost faith in her from her partner, thanks to her own corresponding fidelity and competence. Her partner, in turn, proved to be the kind of partner that many of us aspire to attain: someone

who trusts in our ability to such an extent that they are able to relax, to step back (when necessary) and allow us to lead the way and to handle a situation in the knowledge that we are able and that we will succeed. Guided by prayer and a close relationship with God, the Proverbs 31 woman demonstrated the kind of impeccable judgement that elicited her partner's unwavering pride and confidence in her.
