Evadne McLilley
Plant-based Lifestyle Coach, Influencer, Podcaster, YouTuber, Author, Creative Designer, Event Curator, Motivational Speaker, Community Leader & Ambassador, Founder & CEO of: Ev McLilley Wellness, Inc., Ev McLilley Teas & Herbs & IMPACT - Global, New Market St. Elizabeth Community
Evadne McLilley is a serial entrepreneur who has dedicated herself to Healthy Lifestyle Coaching, Marketing, Leadership Mentoring, Community Building & Empowerment for her entire adult life. She uses every opportunity she gets to motivate people and influence positive changes.
Evadne was born, raised and educated on the tropical island of Jamaican. While living there, she knew from early that she wanted to be an entrepreneur so after working a few jobs (including classroom teacher), she decided to go into business fulltime. Her first business venture was in Event Planning, Event Decor & Gift Curating. The second business (a partnership) was the manufacturing of bulk baking powder (raising agent) for the restaurant, wholesale and supermarket industries exclusively. During those same years, she also spent a great deal of her time influencing changes in the Mandeville, Manchester Municipal Town where she resided. Being a natural born agent of leadership and change, she headed the Junior Chamber International (JCI) - Mandeville Chapter for three years during which she and her team successfully lead and implementing large community projects while training young people to lead effectively. She received the Mandeville Junior Chamber “10 Outstanding Presidents Award for Excellence in Leadership” at their Chapters 25th Anniversary Celebrations in 1999.
Having a desire to do more for humanity, she decided to broaden her horizon, so in 2001 she migrated to the USA.
She obtained tertiary education at Northern Caribbean University (Jamaica) and City University of New York (New York) from which she graduated with a degree in Computer Information Systems with a minor in Business Management.
In 2008, Evadne started a thriving business in the construction industry after working in it for three year. She was excited to setup her own office in the upper section of Bronx, New York, where she served Registered Architects, Engineers, License Contractors and License Plumbers from all over NYC. The business was however, severely affected by the crash of the housing/building market during the “Great Recession” of 2009 which left her no choice but to close the business in 2010.
After recognizing the great need for her knowledge and skills in the fields of nutrition and wellness in 2016, Evadne decided to leverage her leadership skills along with her prior studies in nutrition to give “Service to humanity” in another meaningful way – Wellness Coaching!
The passion to serve both people and community were always intertwined for Evadne, so it is no surprise that while she is building her businesses, she is also giving back to her native community in Jamaica via the community project “IMPACT Global – New Market, St. Elizabeth Community”, where she once again seeks to influence young people to build a better community and create lasting change. The organization, which she founded, has set their goals to building a state of the arts sports complex for the community, opening a learning center, building a community swimming pool and creating micro enterprises.
It is Evadne’s goal to continue to inspire people globally, especially young people. She aims to IMPACT the lives of MILLIONS through her Ev McLilley brand, products, social outreach and programs.
She said, “As she watches more and more of her friends and family become ill or die from preventable diseases, she becomes more and more passionate about spreading her message of “Healthy Lifestyle Change” through the world”.
She rises to every occasion of loss and misfortune with grace and a resolve to re-invent herself while she builds back stronger. Therefore, it was no different when she was faced with the latest blow, along with most business in New York City during the hit of the 2020 pandemic. Evadne was once again faced with the gripping decision of closing her boutique tea outlet on West 125th Street in Manhattan as ordered by the Governor of the State. This was not optional.
During the long wait for the pandemic to pass, it occurred to her that she had to pivots once again to ensure the survival of her business. She took the decision to move her operation to an online retail business with wholesale distributions option to other stores, tea shops and restaurants etc.
Since she was laid-off from her pre-pandemic fulltime job, where she worked as a program director (up to the point where she caught the virus), she decided to dedicate herself to building her brand, advance her coaching and tea businesses and to serve more people around the world.
Legacy building is important to Evadne. She said, she doesn’t just build her business to serve people during her lifetime. She is building her businesses to serve as a lasting legacy that will continue long after she is gone. She remains thankful for her eventful life and the ability to create positive change.

LaTorcha Rena Polati
Certified Life, Spiritual, Christian Coach, and US Army Retired Veteran
LaTorcha is the founder and CEO of Determined Steps LLC, which is a movement that empowers women to move forward from that “stuck” place by bridging the gap between mental health and spiritual health. LaTorcha’s passion is to help high achieving women heal past wounds, rewrite your story, remove your invisible mask, get unstuck and find momentum so you can be your most authentic self and thrive in your relationships, purpose, emotionally and financially. Inspiring women to break down emotional obstacles and discover freedom. She is the go-to expert for allowing you to be seen and heard as you move. LaTorcha’s mission is to provide a place to be heard and seen using her ability to create a sacred place to accomplish breakthrough and in doing so, also achieve freedom.
As the people that she serves, LaTorcha, has dealt with surviving trauma. She found herself in a very low place and was silently crying out for help feeling spiritually lost and ignored physically because she looked like she had it together. Her internal cries for help falling on both deaf spiritual and physical ears where she thought death would be better than living. Walking in shame, rejection, and isolation as a Christian woman presenting a tightly fitted mask portraying happiness yet slowly dying on the inside.
Her desire is to influence and encourage others to discover a life of fulfilment and freedom in God. Now, do not think that just because she is a Christian/Spiritual Coach that she cannot assist you. Latorcha's passion, open heart and open mind allows her to serve each and every one of her clients in a nonjudgmental way. She is able to “hear” the unspoken words of her clients. She realizes that like herself, many have experienced being silenced.

Auretha Callison
Self-Development Coach
I was named after Aretha Franklin, although my name is spelled Auretha, which means ‘to see through the mind’ (the Torah) in ancient Aramaic. I am a gifted Seer, Personal Stylist, and Self-Development Coach. I empower Soulful Leaders to BE SEEN for their Brilliance💎
My story: At age 12 I began to recognize I had a remarkable gift to SEE people right away - their gifts, their beauty, and their insecurities. I had a unique ability to encourage people on a soul level.
Over the last 18 years, I've learned to mix and master my gifts in order to help people in three areas. I help people see their Soul Purpose through understanding their personal genius. I create a person’s own unique and vibrant ‘Soul Style’ that reveals their authentic essence, brilliance, and authority. This authentic style blends seamlessly into their branding.
Through our work together I help clients finally conquer the fears and insecurities that have plagued them since childhood that keep them hidden or misrepresenting themselves.
I get hired to provide guidance to people who need to be seen as ‘A Professional’: business owners, speakers, and regular folks on a mission to up-level their personal image and/or brand visibility. My clients actually REALLY WANT TO BE SEEN for their hard-won BRILLIANCE!
Underneath creating an attractive image, accurate marketing, and personal confidence, my passion is to transform self-sabotage, defeating behaviors and poor self-esteem by addressing root issues, beliefs, and fear-based personas so that leaders can truly show up on stage and in person uninhibited and authentically attracting their perfect audience.
I have been in business since 2004 and have over 8 years of training in body-mind coaching from The Hendricks Institute. I offer a free chat to see how I can help you be seen for your brilliance! https://calendly.com/auretha/complimentary-consult

Lynette Michelle Mashiri
Author, Positive Mindset Trainer, Educator
Positive Mindset Trainer
I am an educator, author and positive mindset trainer whose mission is to help women transform from being overwhelmed and disorganised to living more fulfilled, balanced lives.
I provide techniques to work through the guilt and overwhelm that most women face as they juggle through the responsibilities of career and family life. In short I give women the personal tune-up they need to help them continue to win and shine at life, no matter their role.
My Approach
As an educator and entrepreneur, I know the pressures of wearing many hats and how doing it all can be exhausting. This is why I turned to using SMART goal setting and positive mindset training as a means to cope with the many demands on my life and time. Having seen the impact of these proven techniques in my own life, I am now sharing the knowledge with countless women who desperately need to change the way they do things for a way that is better and less draining. I enjoy helping women take control of their time and accomplish more in life as they set better goals. Besides teaching how to plan and achieve goals, I train women how to fail forward by using setbacks to rethink and reframe their goals. By using a blend of affirmations and positive mindset, women find it easier to push through challenges that could weaken them and use them to become stronger.
While positive transformation is an individual journey, I am always there to cheer on and provide the supportive environment required to facilitate the change and follow-through. When I’m not coaching I will be visiting new places or writing books on affirmations, gratitude and how to win at living and moving abroad.

The Foster Triplets
Gospel Singing Group
The Foster Triplets- Malaika, Mahari and Mikaili- are three awesome young ladies- who minister for God in melodious singing. They reside on the picturesque island of Jamaica, where they were born to parents Markquin and Nicole Foster. Their gift of singing was discovered at a very tender age during family worship, when they inadvertently or serendipitously sang in harmony. Their ministry finds its exodus in 2008, when they made their debut performance at only five years of age. They have an impressive catalogue of performances. They have ministered to various congregations and audiences across Jamaica and North America. Most notably, in January 2015 during a Festival of Religious Freedom at the Jamaica National Arena, they had the privilege of singing the Jamaican National Anthem. That same year, they had the opportunity to minister at the General Conference Session of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, held in San Antonio, Texas. On two separate occasions (2016 & 2017), they recorded for the Kids Time programme at the Three Angels Broadcasting Network (3ABN), West Frankfurt IL. In 2016, a performance in New York became viral, garnering millions of views within less than two weeks which was ultimately downloaded and circulated on different social media platforms.
They have a very strong conviction in God and are products of Home School. They thoroughly enjoy singing, playing the keyboard, reading, storytelling, cooking, cycling, travelling, and doing missionary activities. Their debut album ‘What a God!’ was released in 2015. Their single ‘Not Just in Church’ was released in July 2018; and they are presently finalizing their second album ‘Try Jesus’ which is scheduled to be released in August 2019. The Foster Triplets believe that the Lord has called them to take the message of hope to the entire world in every way possible. As such, Malaika, Mahari, and Mikaili, along with their parents Nicole and Markquin, have forged a team, ‘The Foster Triplets Ministries’. They minister in hospitals, nursing homes, shelters, infirmaries, and just about anywhere the Lord leads.
They assist with remedial reading classes for children in the parish of Westmoreland, Jamaica; provide educational funding for students; provide support for adults and children with clothes, food and medical needs; and partner with organizations through volunteerism. Additionally, they have an active YouTube channel Foster Triplets Ministry where relevant topics are presented in creative ways. The Foster Triplets have always wanted to become Medical doctors, but have recently received the conviction to enter into fulltime singing ministry and save lives spiritually. One of their favourite Bible verse is Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

Presentation
Have you ever wondered why, despite your best efforts, there is an internal dichotomy between your conscious recognition of power and unconscious sabotaging actions? What if this challenge is one born out of societal messaging and you have the power to change it?
Kalen's own experience in disempowering situations led her to study the topic of internalized sexism in her dissertation, and today's presentation will dive into the phenomena, why it remains an issue and how you can begin to heal the challenges that arise within the psyche.
By the end of this talk, you will grasp how sexism plays a subtle role in your life, begin to unravel distorted beliefs and engage in a short investigation through an experiential exercise.
