In a powerful testament to leadership and legacy, Dr. Deavra Daughtry has stepped into the role of Chairwoman for the International Third World Leaders Association (ITWLA), an organization with a proud 37-year history. The recent Global Leadership Forum, held at the Myles E. Munroe Diplomat Center in Nassau, Bahamas, illuminated Dr. Daughtry's vision for a future anchored in inspiration, growth, and unity.

A Legacy of Leadership and Service

As a Houston-based business magnate, philanthropist, and founder of the Texas Women’s Empowerment Foundation (TWEF), Dr. Daughtry has spent her career breaking barriers. Her journey from a small in-home care operation to running Excellent Care Management, one of the largest personal in-home care agencies in the U.S., is a testament to her dedication to service and community empowerment. Through ITWLA, she is now scaling this vision to a global stage.

The two-day forum, themed “The Legacy of Leadership,” was a celebration of ITWLA’s impact and Dr. Daughtry’s commitment to a brighter future for emerging leaders worldwide. Attendees were treated to a blend of honor, celebration, and introspection through carefully curated events, from the Night of Honors Award Ceremony to the soul-stirring Legacy Reunion Concert.

The evening culminated in an awards ceremony, recognizing individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary commitment to ITWLA’s values: Leadership, Integrity, Unity, Diversity, Education, and Training.

Saturday: Remembering the Legacy and Celebrating with Music

Saturday morning was dedicated to honoring the legacy of Dr. Myles Munroe, ITWLA’s revered founder and a longtime mentor to Dr. Daughtry. Participants took part in the Myles and Ruth Munroe Foundation Walk, a 10K event commemorating ten years since his passing. That evening, the Legacy Reunion Concert, hosted by Dr. Daughtry herself, brought the forum to an emotional peak. With gospel powerhouse Yolanda Adams headlining and Sherwin Gardner adding a dynamic edge, it was a night that echoed with inspiration and unity.
