The Crown Her Soirée 2025 was a powerful celebration of identity, beauty, and confidence.  

On July 19 at The Guild in Pawtucket, over 150 guests gathered for Crown Her Soirée 2025, an unforgettable celebration of beauty, identity, and self-expression. Centered around the theme “Unapologetically You – Embrace Your Crown,” the event featured moving personal stories during the “Wholeness to Beauty” panel and a vibrant fashion show with youth and community models.

Survey feedback was unanimously positive. Attendees left feeling empowered, inspired, and eager to return. For many of the youth participants, the experience marked a personal transformation, building confidence, community, and pride.

This wasn’t just an event, it was a catalyst for healing, visibility, and unapologetic self-love.

Discover how KCRS Youth Empowerment is creating real change in our community.

Through a focus on mental, emotional, and physical well-being, we provide youth and women with the tools to heal, grow, and lead with confidence.

•The Safe Space offers support through hands-on workshops focused on vision building, journaling, mental health, financial literacy, and self-esteem development, all anchored by our Crowned in Confidence empowerment journey.

•Therapeutic Tuesdays Book Club brings women together in a safe, faith-based setting to explore spiritual growth, healing, and purpose through powerful, real-life reads.

KCRS Youth Empowerment proudly centers youth as leaders, creators, and changemakers. This year, we spotlighted young entrepreneurs, speakers, and performers who boldly shared their gifts with the community.

Through our Crowned in Confidence program, youth stepped into leadership roles, from hosting and modeling to assisting with event logistics and production. Their presence was felt not only on stage but behind the scenes, contributing to the heart and success of every event.

We also celebrated youth vendors and creatives who showcased original products, from art and jewelry to wellness goods, at our community vendor tables. These young entrepreneurs gained real-world experience, confidence, and support from attendees who showed up to invest in their vision.

From rising talent on the mic to innovators at vendor tables, the next generation of leaders is already here, and KCRS is proud to help them shine.
