Carlisha Williams Bradley is one of the very few dynamic personalities that has moved me beyond words. Working with her in for the first Girls Leading Our World Leadership Conference in Banjul, The Gambia, I discovered her to be an inspirational speaker and great mentor. Not only is she endowed with so many capabilities, she also has an amazing leadership presence. Her oratory skills and deep compassion define Carlisha’s outstanding niche. She is so passionate, highly confident and believes in getting the desired results.”

“Carlisha Williams Bradley is one of the best motivational speakers and workshop presenters I have encountered. She does a brilliant job of establishing a rapport with her audience and she has a natural ability to make even the shyest participants feel comfortable. Carlisha’s interweaving of personal stories throughout her presentation helps establish even more credibility to the workshop topic. She is inspiring, energetic and thought-provoking while at the same time is highly skilled at sharing her knowledge with passion and grace. I highly recommend Carlisha!.”

Carlisha Williams is an effective and inspirational speaker for any type of group or event. We invited her to serve as the Mistress of Ceremonies for our annual World Cultures Summit, an event that welcomes 600 local middle school students to learn about the various countries and cultures of Africa, as well as to speak to our Young Professionals group. World Cultures Summit attendees said it was the best one yet, largely due to Carlisha’s leadership! The Young Professionals left the event impressed with Carlisha’s accomplishments and inspired by the work of Woman Empowering Nations.
