During the luncheon, Women United will award $75,000 to organizations helping women and girls acquire quality education, improve job skills or gain other opportunities to change their lives.

You'll also hear from our featured speaker, Tamiko Bailey, a U.S. Air Force service-disabled veteran whose distinguished military career included completing two tours in Saudi Arabia during Operation Southern Watch. As founder, president and CEO of Bailey's Premier Services, Tamiko was named 2024 Texas Small Business Person of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Her multi-state company provides aircraft maintenance and other support services to the United States government and state/local agencies.

Her personal story is one of breaking through barriers through innovation, dedication and service.

Your support allows us to share the proceeds with those who have dreams of a brighter and better future for everyone!

Legacy of a Lady: From Teenage Pregnancy to Community Doula and Mother of Change

LyTisa Greene was just 14 years old when her life changed forever. While her peers were trying to navigate the rigors of ninth grade algebra, LyTisa, also known as Lady, was trying to solve a different problem—she was going to be a mother. Instead of allowing teenage motherhood to define her, Lady used it to ignite her passion for improving maternal health in underserved communities.
