Survivor Activist, Project Assistant, Baker McKenzie Board Member, The Human Trafficking Legal Center and Free the Slaves

Evelyn Chumbow is a survivor of child labor trafficking turned

anti-trafficking activist and public speaker who has focused her

life’s work on ending modern-day slavery, a crime impacting

some 40 million victims globally.

Ms. Chumbow was brought to the United States from Cameroon

at the age of nine and forced to cook, clean, and care for her

trafficker’s children. She was never paid for her work, and any

hope that she might escape was undermined by the constant

beatings she received from her trafficker

.

After years of captivity, she finally escaped and her trafficker was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Today,

Ms. Chumbow works tirelessly to raise awareness and advocate for other survivors. She strongly believes

in the need for professional development for survivors and dedicates her time volunteering at the

grassroots level to guide communities on how to create employment opportunities for trafficking

survivors.

Ms. Chumbow has been invited to brief several government agencies about human trafficking from a

survivor’s perspective, including the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the State Department,

and the Department of Justice. She was appointed by President Obama to serve on the United States

Council on Human Trafficking to his administration. Ms. Chumbow was an invited speaker at the 2019

Paris Peace Forum and the 2014 Thomson Reuters Foundation Trust Women Conference. In 2016, she

traveled to Cameroon to brief the Freedom For All conference on best practices for supporting trafficking

survivors returning home from the Middle East, with an emphasis on creating opportunities for gainful

employment.

Ms. Chumbow has spoken out against the issue of systemic racism for many years. In 2021, she worked

with a coalition of survivor leaders to conduct a survey on racism in the anti-trafficking movement within

the survivor community. Following the survey results, Ms. Chumbow co-authored the op-ed, “Racism

and the Anti-Trafficking Movement: Survey Results and Personal Reflections.”

Among her many honors, Ms. Chumbow is the recipient of the 2021 Abolitionist Award from the Nomi

Network, the 2018 African Heroine Award from the Ohio University African Student Union, and the

2015 Peace Seeking Award from the Presbyterian National Church. In 2021, 

Ms. Chumbow was selected

to be included in the launch of Voices of Freedom, an initiative created by Story Corps and the

Administration for Children and Families, in honor of World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.

Ms. Chumbow serves as an advisor to human trafficking NGOs. She currently serves on the Board of

Directors for the Human Trafficking Legal Center and Free The Slaves. Since 2015, she has worked at the

law firm of Baker & McKenzie LLP in Washington, DC, where she has the opportunity to support human

trafficking and human rights related pro bono initiatives. Ms. Chumbow hopes to leverage her unique

position as a former child slave to end human trafficking in West Africa, in her hometown, and the rest of

the world.

Founder & CEO at Ideation, Facilitator, Host, and Author

I find revenue hiding in your existing operations and build the infrastructure to capture it. Churn recovery, billing automation, pricing optimization — the unsexy systems that drive the biggest gains.

I'm what happens when a documentary filmmaker becomes a Chief Growth Officer. Weird combo? Maybe. But it works — I've turned invisible churn into seven-figure recoveries, scaled organic traffic from near-zero to hundreds of thousands of monthly visitors, and replaced expensive vendor contracts with AI-native tools built over a weekend.

I ship systems, not slide decks.

Compatibility Strategist, Podcaster, Author, Speaker

I teach my clients how to read their own bodies—to sense expansion versus contraction, calm versus tension, curiosity versus caution. Your body knows before your mind does. When you learn to trust it, you stop confusing chemistry for compatibility.

But awareness without direction creates noise. That’s why my process combines intuitive intelligence with precise strategy.

Before every date, you’ll walk in prepared — not with a to-do list, but with a to-done list: the right questions, the right energy, and the right mindset. You’ll know exactly what to ask and what to watch for — the subtle cues that reveal whether someone’s grounded or avoidant, generous or guarded, emotionally available or just playing confident.

You’ll learn how to read micro-behaviors, tone, and presence — so you can quickly recognize who aligns with the life and love you’re creating.

You’ll approach each interaction with calm precision, clarity, and self-trust — not to perform, but to perceive. Within minutes, you’ll know whether someone belongs on your in list or out list.

This isn’t about judgment or games. It’s about mastering energetic discernment — the art of seeing people clearly, and choosing love consciously.

At 24 years old, I co-founded Kidorable, now a global brand that produces fun, practical, and unique children’s accessories. Our products have been sold in over 5,000 stores in over 20 countries and have also appeared in People and on The Today Show.

As a personal growth athlete, I have always been fascinated by human potential. It explains why I’ve read over 3,000 books spanning topics including psychology, business, philosophy, and spirituality. To be honest, it also explains my nickname.

I believe you can achieve greatness, no matter what’s going on in your life and business. I also know we make things a lot harder than they need to be, especially as entrepreneurs. That’s why I became a coach.

Executive Coach and  Transformational Guide

I help high-achieving leaders evolve into conscious, impactful, and fulfilled versions of themselves.

For 50 years, I’ve studied and lived transformation — from U.S. rowing champion to the Marine Corps, and from corporate executive to spiritual guide. Along the way, I’ve learned that leadership failures always trace back to unhealed personal issues — and that true, lasting success comes only when leaders heal, grow, and expand their consciousness.

I’ve guided thousands of leaders — including executives leading billion-dollar enterprises — to shift from burnout and scarcity into clarity, confidence, and conscious leadership. The results? Healthier cultures, stronger profits, and a lasting legacy that benefits everyone.

My mission is simple: to help leaders stop running from themselves, unlock their highest potential, and become the kind of leaders our world desperately needs.

Visionary CEO of Dexa and the first female CEO of an unmanned aviation company in the United States   

Beth Flippo is the visionary CEO of Dexa and the first female CEO of an unmanned aviation company in the United States. She is leading the next evolution of last-mile logistics through autonomous drone delivery that empowers local retailers to compete with global e-commerce giants.

Under her leadership, Dexa became one of only four FAA-certified, fully integrated drone carriers in the country. The company secured FAA Part 135 Certification authorizing drone deliveries beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), and its DE2020 drone has been added to the Secretary of Transportation FAA’s S1 List of Certified Aircraft.

Beth brings more than two decades of experience at the intersection of finance, embedded systems engineering, aerospace, and advanced defense technology. Prior to founding Dexa, she served as Vice President of Embedded Software Development at TELEGRID Technologies, where she led the development of technologies adopted by multiple branches of the U.S. Department of Defense.

She began her career in New York City’s financial sector with Goldman Sachs, designing sophisticated quantitative trading and high-volume financial systems. That rare combination of financial systems thinking, mission-critical engineering, and regulatory navigation uniquely positioned her to tackle one of today’s most complex infrastructure challenges: modernizing last-mile logistics without sacrificing community-based commerce.

The spark for Dexa came during a chaotic pharmacy trip with her four children. In that moment, Beth had a simple but transformative realization: there has to be a better way to get what we need.

Today, she is building that better way.

Dexa aims to turn two-day shipping into 15-minute delivery through autonomous drone operations, restoring competitive balance to neighborhood retailers and strengthening the communities they serve. Beth is not simply building aircraft. She is rebuilding infrastructure.
