"Our lives are a testament to how big and mysterious our God is. God will continue to surprise us, to do the unimaginable, and to create something wonderful in, with, and through us." ~ Mitzi J. Smith
Rev. Mitzi J Smith, Ph.D.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help women transform their lives and their communities by providing life and technical skills, critical and liberating information, and spiritual or soul motivation. We aim to tangibly and positively impact women who live on societies’ economic bottom and women who sit in corporate boardrooms. We seek to empower and work with people of diverse socio-economic circumstances, races, ethnicities, and religions.
Our History
Rev. Dr. Mitzi J. Smith (Ph.D., Harvard) first founded Living in Full Empowerment, Inc. in the summer of 2007. Dr. Smith realized that some of her students lacked basic writing skills. That summer she conducted her first successful basic writing workshop. Dr. Smith temporarily shelved the vision, but in July 2011, she resurrected it. Our purpose continues to be the empowerment of women & communities. We, unfortunately, had to cancel the 2012 Inaugural Women's Conference in the Detroit metro area scheduled for July 26-28 due to low registration numbers. We have rescheduled the conference for June 21-23, 2013. LivFullE is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation.
