In 2013, Dr. Trenace Nicole Richardson, lovingly known as Nikki, got tired of looking successful on the outside, yet feeling broken and defeated internally. And she knew there were countless other women who felt the same but were suffering in silence. So she decided that it was time to combine her doctorate in educational leadership from GWU, her decades of ministry experience, her experience as an award-winning educator, and her personal journey to bring women together from all walks of life to CONNECT in a COMMUNITY for the purpose of personal growth and development. As a result, REAL Women was created. Our goal is to provide local sister circles for women across the country and abroad. In addition to live, local sister circles, we host virtual sister circles and live annual intensives.
