K
ingdom Women held their regular bi-monthly 
meeting at the Surf Hut Restaurant in Miramar 
Beach on Thursday, August 3. This sisterhood 
group was founded by local author of the 
book, “His Daughter’s Treasure” and philanthropist Mary 
Cornelison Bross.  Mary’s idea was to create an atmosphere 
where women of all nationalities, ages, social statuses, as well 
as fi nancial backgrounds could intermingle, dissolving the 
boundaries that cause so many to disengage with one another.
The Facebook group has assisted in bringing many
women together and has accumulated thousands of group
members, many of which have become great friends and 
business associates. These groups are the defi nition of women 
empowering one another.
Mary’s idea has worked and is growing throughout the
Southeast as similar groups are being formed. Kingdom 
Women Business Networking, Inspiration and Prayer, and 
YouShine are a few of her groups.
Kingdom Women Business Networking has given women
throughout different regions the opportunity to help one 
another grow their businesses by cross marketing as well as 
using each other’s services.
