Global Christian leader, entrepreneur and film producer, Bishop T.D.

The Grand Finale conference at the Georgia World Congress Center Sept. 22 – Sept. 24, and will host thousands of women from around the world. 

Jakes held the first Woman, Thou Art Loosed! conference in 1996 after discovering the impact his Bible study message had on women. Over the years, Jakes has seen breakthroughs in thousands of women and Woman, Thou Art Loosed! has since become a worldwide movement.

In honor of this year’s final gathering and to pay homage to the conference’s original location, soft drink giant Coca-Cola will partner with the conference in support of the T.D. Jakes Foundation to celebrate the deep seated community roots in Atlanta.
