Build Anyway
There has never been a perfect time to build. Not now. Not before. The people who created something lasting didn’t wait for the conditions to be right — they built in spite of them.
That’s exactly the spirit behind the 2026 EEIC Summit. On Saturday, June 6th at Kingdom Fellowship in Calverton, Maryland, we’re gathering builders — people who are choosing to create in spite of, solve in spite of, and grow in spite of whatever the economy is doing.
THE SESSIONS THAT WILL MOVE YOU FORWARD
Breaking the Cycle: Financial Strategies That Make a Difference is the financial conversation most of us never had growing up. Compound growth. Tax-advantaged accounts. The difference between debt that builds and debt that destroys. And how to use that knowledge to not just survive this economic moment — but create wealth because of it.
Your Next Move: A Financial Clarity Workshop goes beyond information into transformation. This facilitator knows that how we think and feel about money is just as important as what we know about it. You’ll leave with clarity on where you are, what’s holding you back, and a concrete next step.
For entrepreneurs, Systems & Operations: Running Your Business Like a CEO and Scaling Without Burning Outwill give you the frameworks to stop being the bottleneck in your own business and start building something that grows without costing you your health.
The Builders on Stage
Keina Newell graduated college $75,000 in debt and paid every penny off — while buying her first home before 30. As a financial coach, she helps everyday people find clarity, save intentionally, and approach money with possibility instead of shame.
Dr. Cassandra Lewis, founder of Brass Ring LLC and co-author of How to Get Rich Without Going Spiritually Broke, has spent two decades in senior executive leadership and was awarded the Joint Distinguished Civilian Service Medal — the highest civilian honor from the Joint Chiefs of Staff. She builds businesses and leaders without losing the spiritual thread.
Dr. Shakenna Williams, Executive Director of the Frank & Eileen Center for Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership at Babson College, pioneers the integration of mental health principles with entrepreneurial strategy — because sustainable businesses start with resilient founders.
“The 2026 Summit calls us not merely to adapt, but to architect what comes next — to build institutions, ownership pathways, and economic systems that future generations will look back on as transformative.”
