When God gave me the vision for The Garden Conversation, I had no idea how deeply it would touch lives — including my own.

I was contemplating quitting on this vision over and over for 6-months. I started planning in December of 2024. I was battling mental warfare the entire time thinking nobody would understand or even attend. I had to fight through every single doubt and focus on the mission. It took prayer, one-on-one pep talks and a whole lot of FAITH to move forward.

What started as an idea about cultivating healthy communication between me and God turned into a full experience. A space where words took root, where authenticity was watered, and where people, from speakers to attendees, left lighter, stronger, and more aligned with their purpose. Starting this movement was a risk. Believing that I could do this with God was a threat to the enemy. It was a risk to out myself 'out there' again. But it was much worth it.

🌱 Who It Benefited- Event recap for Christian entrepreneurs

This space wasn’t just for business owners, although they came. It wasn’t just for faith-based leaders, though many showed up. The Garden Conversation created a space for:

Visionaries who needed to breathe again
Founders who were tired of being the only ones tending their field
Creative minds looking for clarity and collaboration
Everyday leaders desiring real conversations.

People left with more than notebooks they left with nourishment. The kind that lingers long after the lights are off and the last guest has gone home.

Here's what the attendees said:

Garden Conversations was EVERYTHING! From the vendors to the speakers to the lunch & the plants! This was definitely spirit-led, God-ordained & right on time! I can’t wait to move in my calling with all of the knowledge obtained from this event! Worth far more than y'all charged! -Desirae Brown

There really is an anointing on Morgan to explain concepts and use the Bible to support practical foundations - you really had the audience captivated. I’m excited to come back next year! -Jala Hawkins

🌻 What I Learned as a Leader, Founder & Speaker: Event recap for Christian entrepreneurs

This wasn’t just a milestone for them it was one for me.

As a leader, I learned that clarity breeds confidence. That when your vision is rooted in purpose, others can feel it and run with it. That it's okay to ask for help.

As a founder, I realized how powerful it is to create spaces that speak to the spirit, not just about strategy. That brand alignment is more than colors it’s character, prayer and discipline. That people want to know about your discoveries.

And as a speaker, I discovered that the most impactful words are often the ones you didn’t rehearse the ones birthed from experience, prayer, and presence. Completely off the cuff!
