| SPECIAL UPDATE
Hey Sis,
By now, you’ve probably heard that our Founder and Host, Sarah Jakes Roberts, sustained serious injuries in an accident. What could have been a very different story has become a testimony she is still living out in real time. Since then, Sarah has remained under the close guidance of her medical team, receiving meticulously coordinated care. While her progress has been encouraging, it became abundantly clear—and was honored without reservation—that a full recovery would require surgical intervention. That procedure has since taken place, with her health and long-term well-being remaining the top priority. She is now in a recovery period, as her healing is expected to continue over the coming months.
After careful consideration of all factors affecting our team’s ability to steward this experience with intentionality, Woman Evolve has initiated a strategic rescheduling of the conference, originally planned for July 30 – August 1, 2026, in Atlanta, Georgia at the State Farm Arena. Updates will be shared as they become available. Rest assured, our operational infrastructure is already in motion to ensure this transition is managed with the precision and professionalism each of you deserves. We recognize this adjustment will impact existing arrangements on your end, and we deeply understand the disappointment this may bring. We sincerely apologize for it. Our commitment is to implement revisions with clarity and care, while protecting the integrity of the planning, resources, and trust you have already invested.
Sis to sis, we need you to hear this directly from us. Nothing about the vision has changed. Nothing about who we want in that room has changed. The moment is simply shifting to meet us where we are. With that being said, thank you for walking with us not only when the path is clear, but also when faith requires flexibility. Thank you for understanding that sometimes leadership looks less like pushing through and more like yielding to what God is doing beneath the surface. Your grace and prayers in this season mean more than words can hold.
For going rogue with us,
— The Woman Evolve Team
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
As many of you know, Sarah was in a serious accident in April 2026. She shared openly with her congregation that she fractured her neck, herniated discs in her spine, and underwent surgery to repair the damage. What she did not want to do was rush back to a stage before her body was fully ready, and we are not going to ask her to. Woman Evolve has always called women to evolve honestly instead of performing perfectly. Rescheduling this conference is us practicing exactly that. The vision is fully intact. The timing is simply being honored.
