Women Connect Breaking Through speakers, Jesseca White, Shameka Akpofure, Sara Hand and Jodi Tollefson
Life has a way of testing us—knocking us down, closing doors and making us question whether success is really meant for us. But here’s the truth: You are capable of more than you realize. And sometimes, all it takes is hearing the right story at the right time to spark the breakthrough you need.
On April 29, The Chamber’s Women Connect program proudly presents Breaking Through: Stories of Resilience, Growth and Transformation. This empowering event will reignite your hope, fuel your ambition and remind you that you are not alone.
IT’S TIME TO BREAK THROUGH: YOU CAN DO IT TOO
We all face moments of doubt. But what if your next chapter is just waiting for you to push forward? At Breaking Through, four inspiring women who turned challenges into opportunities will share their personal journeys. They’ll talk through their strategies of overcoming obstacles and building confidence to take the next big step.
Meet the speakers
- Jesseca White, a Fargo Police Sergeant who shattered barriers and redefined leadership in a male-dominated field.
- Shameka Akpofure, an entrepreneur who turned homelessness and addiction into a story of triumph and success.
- Sara Hand, an advocate who is transforming her painful infertility struggle into a mission of hope for others.
- Jodi Tollefson, a real estate professional who turned job loss into a dream career.
Moderating this powerful conversation is Karli Moch, Chief Dream Officer at The Dream Project, who knows firsthand the power of resilience and reinvention. Together, they’ll share what it truly means to break through.
