About Us
Our Mission
Our program’s mission is to enable marginalized and underserved women to build successful businesses through state and federal government contracting. We have a passion for economic advancement, equity and inclusivity for all people. Our focus is to shine a light on the importance of bridging the gap in generational wealth disparities amongst these Historically Underutilized Businesses. We do this by providing a nurturing environment enabling them to help build a stronger local economy that positively affects their families and communities. We‘ve partnered with successful CEOs and Industry leaders to develop specific strategies with creativity, openness, resilience, and empathy to overcome the inevitable hurdles and persevere on their journeys to breaking the proverbial “Glass Ceiling“.
Our Why
Many women go throughout their lives as products of their environments, yielding to the dreaded feeling of hopelessness, rejection, poverty and even abuse. Often never believing that their dreams would ever materialize. But what if they could? What if someone cared enough to give them a second chance? What if they had direction? What if they had a plan? What if they had the resources to launch that plan?
We have consistently grown in such a short time, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community! Help us continue to provide the essential resources needed to put their plans into action.

Kingdom Wealth Forum
KWF PRESIDENT/PROGRAM DIRECTOR/The Inclusivity Group CEO DENIKA SEYMOUR
When God gives you a vision and you dare to have the faith to believe in it, nothing is impossible! Kingdom Wealth Forum would like to thank all of you so very much for sharing our vision. We are so completely grateful, for all the support and love from each and everyone of you.
When I began my walk into self discovery, I was pulled into so many different directions. I knew exactly why I was there. It was my purpose and definitely my calling. But this was just the beginning! Just like everyone of us, I went through a series of highs and lows and yes, some in-between. There were moments of abundance and most definitely, those of scarcity. Desperation and desire seemed to always knock at my door. I know exactly how it feels to want something so big for yourself and your family, but feeling completely stuck in a place of constant frustration. When your heart is so big, but yet, you feel so small, sometimes even the little things make you feel like breaking down. What may be small to one, might mean the world to another. Choosing to see life with a new set of eyes made me appreciate the truly important things, just a bit more. I was HER, I am HER, just like so many other amazing women out there waiting to be Launched.
I can’t wait to see what happens next..
