how the shine summit started
Meet the shine founder, Kimberly evans
Way back in 2018, Kimberly had a dream (like a real fast asleep dream!) that she was in a beautiful room surrounded by women in business who were laughing, crying, supportive, dreaming and working through the highs and lows of business together. Fast forward through launching the SHINE Summit the year of the pandemic and 5 years later the first SHINE Summit launched in 2023.
Kimberly is so grateful for the women who have come on board in so many ways to be a part of this very special community.
