Women’s Empowerment is Radio One Raleigh’s largest and most anticipated event. Year after year, thousands of African American women (and men) come to Women’s Empowerment for an entire day of education, entertainment and empowerment. Created in 1994, in honor of Women’s History Month, Women’s Empowerment was designed to enhance the lives of African American women by addressing issues that specifically impact their “health, hearts and pocketbooks.” Throughout the day, this expo-styled event offers seminars, workshops, demonstrations, sampling, and shopping.
Steve Harvey will be this year’s keynote speaker. Harvey began doing stand-up comedy in the mid-1980s and never lost sight of his passion through his television success. Currently Harvey hosts the nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Morning Show, which airs in over 64 markets and has over 7 million listeners from 6-10 AM EST. The morning show has also allowed him to share relationship advice with his listeners through the Strawberry Letter segment, where he responds to relationship questions. This segment’s popularity led to a book deal with Harper Collins.
His first book “Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man” was released on January 27, 2009. The widely-acclaimed book is Harvey’s ultimate guide to unlocking the male mind, understanding his game, anticipating his moves and countering with unstoppable offense and defense. Harvey has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Nightline, Good Morning America, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Tyra Banks Show, CBS’ The Early Show, NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien, CNN Newsroom, The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet and several others to discuss HIS #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING BOOK!
