More than 50 women impacted at Charm Academy’s Breakfast of Champions | Virgin Islands News Online

A three hour gathering of “mature women” for healthy and inspiring discussions on “life” was obviously not enough for those who turned up in their numbers for the Charm Academy’s Breakfast of Champions, as there was a resounding call for it to evolve into a full day gathering.

The Charm Academy, conceptualised and headed by Mrs Karia J. Christopher, held its second Breakfast of Champions yesterday morning November 23, 2019 at Maria’s By the Sea titled “The Opulent Sitting – Tiffany Edition”.

The sharply decorated hall was filled to capacity, with over fifty (50) women in attendance.

“We evolved into women, because we cannot have great little girls without great women and little girls evolve into wonderful women. So here we have the Breakfast of Champions,” Mrs Christopher said, adding that the focus was on topics that matter beyond their career.


Panellists

They panellists who led the discourse, which to a greater extent hinged on intimate relationships, were Ayana S. Hull, who show shared her personal story of marriage and divorce; Rosetta Crandall, who focused on how she would position herself in the chain of priority should she remarry; Stephanie I. Faulkner-Williams kept it real on balancing modern day living with living the “bible” way and the importance of keeping self-satisfied and Dr Joycelyn Hoyte, who stuck to the “God” way while being assertive about “who you are and what your standards are.”

For the second year, former legislator, professional counsellor and medical professional Dr Kedrick D. Pickering was the featured guest speaker.


Impactful

The discussions were intense but, with the limited time allotted for the use of the venue, most in attendance were not able to plug their questions and participate fully in the discussions. This led to a popular call for the event to become a one-day retreat.

According to Mrs Christopher, “I will seriously consider it. It’s a universal call by the women. I am so happy about the impact this has made and will continue to make in the lives of our women.”

The event also featured an auction segment led by Mr Julien N. Johnson. More than $1500 was raised for the BVI Cancer Society.

“The donation will go directly for Breast Cancer but our overall focus at Charm Academy is women’s health and sexuality,” Mrs Christopher said.
