Refueled: A Testimony of Strength, Sisterhood, and Survival

There are moments in life when we find ourselves drained, worn out, and in need of renewal.

In those moments, the right word, the right touch, or the right gathering can shift the atmosphere and bring life back into weary souls. That is exactly what happened at the Sisters 4Real “I’m A Survivor” Conference 2k25, hosted on September 26-27 under the visionary leadership of Sister Kim Lewis. The theme, “Refueled,” was more than just a conference title; it embodied a deeper meaning. It was a declaration, a charge, and a promise to every woman who entered the doors. This was not just another gathering—it was a revival of hope, strength, and faith for women who have survived, endured, and are now ready to soar into their next level of living.

The Visionary: Sister Kim Lewis

Every powerful movement begins with a visionary, and Sister Kim Lewis has proven to be exactly that. Her journey has not been an easy one. Like many of the women she now inspires, she has endured trials and tribulations that could have broken her. Yet, instead of folding under the weight of life’s battles, she chose to rise—not just for herself, but for countless other women.

Through persistence, consistency, and a selfless love for others, Sister Kim has transformed her pain into purpose. Her leadership in bringing the “I’m A Survivor” Conference to life was more than an event; it was a living testimony that survival is not the end of the story—it is the beginning of something greater. Her dedication reflects a deep commitment to empowering women, reminding them that survival is victory and renewal is within reach.

A Power-Packed Lineup

When women gather, something extraordinary happens. But when powerful women of God gather with one mission—to uplift, equip, and ignite—miracles take place. Sister Kim assembled a powerhouse lineup that left attendees filled and inspired.
