Please find a list of women who have nominated themselves as being willing to speak at events in their state under the categories stated. This list does not represent an endorsement from Fixing Her Eyes. Please engage in your own research if looking to employ someone for an event. 

We have only included Baptist, Anglican and Prebyterian as other denominations appear to have stronger networks already in place, and expanding beyond these denominations is unfortunately beyond our current capacity. We have included women who are part of our network.
 

Thank you for your understanding and support!
