OUR HONORARY KEYNOTE SPEAKER
IN MEMORIUM: Nikita Morgan, The Niche Navigator™
We dedicate this year's conference to Nikita Morgan, our long-time member and the designated Keynote Speaker for this conference. It is with heavy hearts that we share that Nikita lost her battle with cancer and passed away on August 24th. She was such a powerhouse and passionate force for The Alliance that we came together, cried together, and decided to make this year's conference, "Nikita's Conference." She always challenged her Sisters in The Alliance to boldly build our businesses with no excuses.
Her life will continue to be a testament to being resilient and not allowing past circumstances and challenges to define your future. She was a wife and a mother to two boys. She will be profoundly missed. Please keep her family in your prayers.
Attending the Uplevel and Rise Conference TRULY changed me and my business. I was able to overcome all fears I had about taking my business to new levels of success. I can truly see myself building a million-dollar-plus business for God's Kingdom work for the first time! My business and my life will never be the same!
I enjoyed the camaraderie, the authenticity of the speakers, and the reunion with my sisters. I am taking a different approach to hiring people. I want more purpose-filled people and team-builders. Thank you for this platform to help me thrive. This was a phenomenal conference! I appreciate everyone who was here. It inspires me to keep going.
The Alliance has not only helped me to start scaling my business and thinking bigger than the box I was in, it has helped me create systems and understand that I don’t have to do it alone. I have a community of people that I can call or text if I have a question or need anything. I always seem to connect with those people I really need to connect with. The Alliance has changed my life!
