*Somerset, New Jersey – dfree® is the leading financial freedom movement programmed to equip the African American community with the strategies and resources to live a financially empowered life. The groundbreaking organization will host its national Homecoming Conference October 25 – 28 in Somerset, New Jersey. The conference will offer an inspiring immersion into the dfree® way of life, while providing four power packed days of faith, fun and fellowship that promote financial freedom.
While dfree® provides trainings and workshops around the country all year long, the national conference offers the opportunity to hear directly from finance and lifestyle experts who provide invaluable insights about everything from credit repair to estate planning to starting a business. The conference also offers the opportunity to hear directly from people who have transformed their lives by going through the dfree® program and following its principles. “This conference is where you come to gain information, become inspired and motivated by the successes of others, and get a blueprint of how you – regardless of your unique circumstances – can become a dfree® success story,” says dfree® Executive Director Tamika Stembridge, Esq.
Highlights of the 2018 dfree® Homecoming Conference include a community revitalization workshop with dfree® founder and community economic development pioneer DeForest B. Soaries, Jr., a fireside chat with prodigious entrepreneurial sensations Jr. Flips (as seen on the Steve Harvey Show), a workshop offering “A Guide to Senior Living”, a financial planning panel featuring experts from title sponsor Prudential, and a sports and entertainment panel featuring professionals from Major League Baseball, Capitol Records, the WNBA and more. Panels and workshops are designed to address financial topics in a practical and holistic manner that will help attendees at every stage of life make financial decisions that will positively affect their futures. Living the dfree® lifestyle includes having fun, so there is also an exciting entertainment lineup: a Friday evening Gospel concert featuring Kierra Sheard and Hezekiah Walker, and a Saturday evening comedy show featuring Rod Allison and Lisa Mills.
The dfree® Homecoming Conference is hosted by Reverend DeForest B. Soaries, Jr., senior pastor, First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens and dfree® founder. The conference attracts pastors and ministers, community leaders, educators, students, business professionals and a cross-section of attendees with a desire to enhance their financial lives.
