ABOUT ME

Erika Kimberly Wesley: Where Faith Meets Fierce Leadership
A powerhouse at the intersection of purpose, poetry, and people, Erika is a faith-fueled executive, creative, and changemaker, rewriting the narrative of what it means to lead well. As a mom, wife, doctoral candidate, and founder of Women Working Well and To Be Praised Ministries, she cultivates spaces where women rise—spiritually, professionally, and mentally. Whether she’s shaping equity-driven strategy in Bridgeport, designing leadership workshops, curating art and culture conversations, or teaching Christian women how to thrive across racial lines, Erika brings grace, grit, and a generational vision.

She’s the kind of leader who journals with scripture in one hand and a mic in the other, mentoring women to lead lives anchored in legacy, liberation, and love. Her signature strength? Teaching resilience not just as recovery—but as the root system of effective, transformative leadership. When Erika speaks, creates, or consults, she anchors others in the belief that their purpose is sacred, their voice is needed, and their leadership can heal.
