LadyLike is an initiative developed in 2017 by Deidre DeJear and Lindsey Jeanette with a goal to inspire and empower women of color in the Greater Des Moines Area. LadyLike will use various facets to connect with women in efforts to fuel their desired commitment to the community.

The 2017 launch of LadyLike was a power brunch hosted on the campus of Drake University featuring Dr. Avis Jones DeWeever, Teree Caldwell-Johnson and Shontavia Johnson.

LadyLike will host the 2018 power brunch with the theme of Reset: Mind, Body and Soul.
