We had the good fortune of connecting with Verlisa Wearing and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Verlisa, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
It was my desire to create platforms that would help people shatter glass ceilings that were holding them captive while keeping their voices muted.

Many people remain muted due to circumstances and situations that have occurred in their lives and because they have not dealt with those matters they are unable to freely live the life they dream of.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am the Founder of The RiseHer Network a multi media platform created with the purpose to restore, inspire, stand with and empower others to be the greatest first version of themselves. We offer services in book publishing, digital magazine features and publishing and internet tv platform hosting. We specialize in helping small businesses, authors, personal/business coaches, ministry leaders, community leaders and creatives share their voices in order to increase their visibility, broaden their audience reach and ultimately increase profitability.

A Louisiana native with a Georgia peach flavor, she brings a little spice and a whole lot of Southern Hospitality in all that she does and sets out to accomplish. Knowing and understanding the importance of one’s story, she has created platforms that help shatter glass ceilings holding people captive while muting their voice.

After 16 years in the Hospitality Industry she has taken her experience of working with, managing and entertaining diverse groups of people from all walks of life and around the globe to create a platform built on establishing collaborations and partnerships over competition.

Rooted and grounded in her faith, the RiseHer Network was birthed from a dream which Verlisa vividly recalls hearing the entire layout of the network yet, more importantly hearing these words, “You will not stretch my people. You will give everyone the opportunity to show their creativity and share their expertise to the world.” For this reason the RiseHer Network provides affordable packages while providing great quality to all clients.

My motto is, “Live a life that outlives you.”
Verlisa believes everyone can intentionally make an impact on the world by sharing their voices, stories and expertise in order to help change the trajectory of another person’s life.

There is literally someone wanting to step into the deep but they cannot build up the nerve to do so because they are waiting on your voice to advise them to step!

The life of an entrepreneur is definitely not an easy road but, it is worth it if you put your all in it. I always remember that my clients have a choice where they receive their services so, it is my duty to exemplify and show great customer service along with genuine respect. Everyone wants to be heard, everyone wants to be celebrated, as I remember this I keep on track.

The RiseHer Network is here to help make you great! Our success is measured on the satisfaction of our clients. Not only do we provide services, we teach you along the way. If you are ready to work with an agency that is truly interested in your growth, brand and reach connect with The RiseHer Network.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
For a weekend visit I would take them to Nouveau in College Park, Georgia for brunch. Later in the day, we would enjoy the sites and attractions downtown near the Belt Line-they have so much to do and see there, followed by dinner at one of my old faithfuls, Houston’s on Peachtree Street finishing at the Sweet Georgia Juke Joint.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to shoutout my pastor, Bishop C.L. Carter, Sr. He is definitely my daddy (spiritually). Every step of my self-discovery and self-love he has been there guiding me, listening to me and simply loving me – loving me right where I was. He always encourages me to go after and to fulfill my dreams. Lately he reminds me, “I’m built for this.”
