For over 20 years, Woman, Thou Art Loosed! (WTAL) has been at the forefront of social change, echoing the cries for freedom and equality of those who’ve blazed these paths before us. Through every movement, we’ve stood firm, unafraid to use our voice and platform and plant our roots at the intersection of justice and faith.
In this period of extreme change, WTAL evolves with the times—moving our 2020 conference to a virtual experience on October 15-17, 2020, but further committed to empowering women. Now you’ll have the opportunity to connect with the community and create dedicated time for learning, praise and worship, all online. In our three-day gathering, we’ll explore relevant, diverse programming that allows you to feed your spirit and stimulate your mind. Plus, we’ll meet you where you are with two premier experience opportunities.
This year’s Woman, Thou Art Loosed! (WTAL) is a brand-new experience, bringing the best of the world’s most beloved women’s Christian conference to the digital stage. The WTAL Virtual Experience—hosted on YouTube—will serve as the same trusted space to ignite social change, gather for worship, and leave you empowered like our in-person conferences of years past. Featured speakers include Pastor Cora Jakes Coleman, an accomplished speaker and prayer warrior, and Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts, founder of Woman Evolve.

Our world is in a state of crisis. The storms that rage on our screens and in our homes have left us gasping for survival in a world where anxiety, fear, and depression threaten to suffocate us every day. Whether your mental health has been affected by the pandemic, police brutality, or a personal crisis, in this session, mental health advocates and professionals will provide the tactics to winning the battles in your mind and finding hope in the chaos.
Dominating the office by day and running the household by night can be a balancing act. How can one manage what they do at work without letting it define who they are overall? The pressure and demands of the workplace often require a different version of the woman who goes home to greet her family at night. In this intriguing session, we’ll delve into the ways women who are doing it all can separate their identities from their careers and handle adversity in the world.
(Criminal Justice Reform, Your Ethnic Roots, Mothers/Women for Justice) For over 20 years, Woman Thou Art Loosed has been at the forefront of social change, unafraid to use our voice and platform and plant our roots at the intersection of justice and faith. And now, as we see glimpses of repeated history play out before our eyes, we must unite as one voice and be a vehicle for change in politics, race relations, mass incarceration, and criminal justice reform. Join us for this riveting and enlightening opportunity as we answer the pressing questions pertaining to Black Lives Matter and discuss how we can leverage it to make a difference.
These troubling times have brought about an abundance of athletes, performers, actors, and others who have leveraged their artistry and platforms for effective change. Their voices have rippled across the nation, pushing the conversation for social justice into rooms where it was once off-limits. Join us for this most enlightening conversation as we hear from a number of people who have greatly impacted the entertainment industry and learn what they’ve done and will continue to do to move the needle for change.
The global pandemic impacted every aspect of our lives, including the education of our children. As school doors opened, parents across the nation were faced with life-altering decisions, and some, living without the resources critical to their child’s success, weren’t left with much of a decision at all. In this session, we’ll dive into the ways the school system affects each community and discuss how parents can help their children adjust and stay on track during this cultural, political, and economic shift.
Life doesn’t always turn out how we would have liked it too. It’s filled with twists, turns, and bumpy roads that may have you doubting your ability to succeed and fulfill your dream.

Attendees will walk away with the tools and inspiration needed to reignite and drive forward those dreams that may have otherwise been placed on hold.
