A Celebration of Fearless Women

Join Dr. Karmetria Burton and a community of bold, resilient women for a transformational luncheon that celebrates leadership, sisterhood, and service. Experience the power of connection and inspiration as we honor women who rise with courage and lead with purpose.

The Legacy
of Big Mama

Dorothy Jean Walker, lovingly known as Big Mama, is the inspiration behind the Paint Your Lips Red movement. Her red lipstick was more than a fashion statement. It symbolized strength, courage, and confidence. To honor her grandmother’s legacy, Dr. Karmetria Burton created Paint Your Lips Red to empower women to lead boldly, rise fearlessly, and show up authentically every day.
