Meet Carla Bell, Founder of the Say YES Conference, based in Alexandria, Virginia. This year’s Women’s History Month Series is built around one principle: Women’s stories, in our own words. Carla Bell is a federal leader by day and a movement builder by night. She launched the Say YES Conference before the tickets sold, before the room was guaranteed, and before anyone could promise it would work. She moved anyway. Her story is one of faith, fortitude, and building in alignment with purpose. Her quote says it best: “Ambition is not about ego. It’s about obedience to the assignment.” Read her full story in her own words.

Yvette Delgado connects people for a living and pours into every community she touches. She calls New York City and Puerto Rico home, and she carries the resilience of both into everything she builds. Her life’s work is creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, valued, and seen.

As Chief Energy Officer of Legacy Starts with Purpose™, she moves through the world with one conviction: it takes a village, and she is committed to building one. She rises because of the people who have poured into her, and she carries their lessons forward in everything she does. A day in her life, she says, feels like an adventure. Read her story in the MogulMoxie 2026 Women’s History Month Series.
