Local Empowerment Event Returns with Focus on Domestic Violence Awareness, Talent, and Healing

Joan D. Hampton to host second annual “Conversations That Empower”
at Good Shepherd Outreach Ministries on August 9 in Sumter

 

SUMTER, S.C., August 1, 2025 — The Total Woman Empowerment Network, a program of Good Shepherd Outreach Ministries, will host the second annual “Conversations That Empower: Spirit, Soul & Body” on Saturday, August 9, 2025, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Good Shepherd Outreach Ministries, located at 118 Commerce Street in Sumter.

 

Following its inaugural event in October 2024, this year’s program will open with a panel discussion on domestic violence awareness, offering the community practical tools, education, and insight on how to identify and respond to abuse. Panelists will include advocates, community leaders, and survivor voices committed to ending cycles of violence.

 

After the discussion, the program will transition into a summer talent showcase featuring local singers and spoken word artists. A fashion show extravaganza and reception will follow, bringing together art, expression, and advocacy in a family-friendly setting.

 

The event is hosted by Joan D. Hampton, CEO of The Total Woman Teaching Series and a longtime advocate for women’s wellness and personal development. Under Hampton’s leadership, “Conversations That Empower” has become a signature platform designed to inform, uplift, and unify communities spanning the Midlands and PeeDee.

 

“This event creates a space where truth, talent, and transformation can exist side by side,” Hampton said. “We want guests to leave inspired, informed, and empowered to take action in their lives and communities.”

 

A portion of the event proceeds will benefit The Total Woman Domestic Violence Awareness Program, which offers year-round resources, outreach, and support services for individuals and families impacted by abuse.

 

Tickets are $25 per person and are for purchase at www.JoanDHampton.com or at the door. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. Early arrival is encouraged.
