After a powerful debut last year, the Better Together Conference is back—and stronger than ever. From Fatherless to Fearless is proud to host the second annual event on Saturday, June 21, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM at The Summit Hotel in Cincinnati. This free, one-day experience is open to mothers and daughters aged 12–22 and is designed to foster stronger family bonds and inspire growth across generations.
This year’s theme, “Nourishing the Journey,” reflects a commitment to creating affirming spaces where families can reconnect, be uplifted, and grow together. The conference offers an engaging and fun environment, featuring interactive workshops, empowering conversations, and mental wellness resources, all designed to foster resilience and emotional strength.
Mothers and daughters who attend will enjoy:
- Hands-on workshops focused on communication, personal growth, and emotional resilience
- Inspiring keynote talks from author and nonprofit founder Candice Crear, thoughtful leader Phillitia Charlton, creative visionaries Mercedes Brown and Adoria Maxberry, and therapist E-zra Poole
- Uplifting music from DJ Ebony J
- Free meals, swag bags, cash prize giveaways, and meaningful bonding activities
“We created this event because there’s a deep hunger in our communities for safe, affirming spaces where mothers and daughters can grow and heal—together,” said Candice Crear, CEO of From Fatherless to Fearless. “This conference isn’t just an event. It’s a movement of reconciliation, empowerment, and belonging.”
The conference is made possible by the generous support of the Ohio Commission on Minority Health, Interact for Health, Hamilton County, and the Bethesda Foundation. Registration is now open and space is limited—families are encouraged to sign up early at 2025BetterTogether.Eventbrite.com.
