Located in South Carolina, Women in Waiting is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing women and teens with the resources, mentorship, and support they need to navigate life’s challenges. Through a combination of faith-based programs, financial literacy education, and entrepreneurship training, we equip individuals with practical tools to build lasting personal, professional, and spiritual growth.

Whether you are just starting your journey or looking for guidance to overcome challenges, we offer the support necessary to help you succeed and reach your full potential.
In 2017, Women in Waiting was founded by Lashawna Bryant as a small faith-based group aimed at encouraging and supporting women through spiritual growth. What began as a personal calling quickly grew into a space where women could connect, share their struggles, and uplift each other in their faith journeys. The group focused on bible-study and fellowship, providing a strong foundation in faith to help women navigate life’s challenges.
As the community expanded, so did the vision. There was a need for more than just spiritual support—but also resources for personal growth, financial independence, and leadership. Recognizing this need, our organization evolved to include education and empowerment programs and hosted our first conference in 2025. This event marked the beginning of Women in Waiting as a nonprofit organization, formally established in 2025 to offer mentorship, financial literacy workshops, and entrepreneurship training.
Today, our mission continues to grow, providing faith-based guidance, practical tools, and a supportive community for women and teens. From a small faith group to a powerful nonprofit, we are dedicated to empowering women to succeed in all aspects of their lives. The journey is just beginning, and we are excited about the future ahead.
