BIO:

Dr. Barbara L. Peacock is a minister, Spiritual Director, business owner, and the author of Soul Care in African American Practice, a #1 New Release with Amazon. She is a graduate of North Carolina Central University, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary where her doctoral focus was Spiritual Formation for Ministry Leaders. Dr. Peacock served on staff as the Minister of Discipleship and Prayer at The Park Church, Charlotte, NC for 14 years and went on to found Barbara L. Peacock Ministries in 2013. She has been married to her husband Gilbert, for 41 years. They are co-owners of Freedom Financial Advantage, LLC, a kingdom-driven business that positions organizations, churches, and individuals for financial success.

Denise Taylor has many professional achievements that all pale in comparison to her role as Chuck Taylor’s wife and Chanise & Ciera Taylor’s mom. The Taylors reside in Charlotte, NC. In addition to overseeing the First Wives Club, Denise works professionally at a Fortune 500 company, is a licensed coach, trainer, and speaker with the John Maxwell Team and she is an Independent Pampered Chef consultant (because it’s fun).

Tamra T. Bush is a loving wife and mother of 4 with a genuine heart. Her passion for people drives her to educate, uplift, and nurture those around her towards financial success. She is knowledgeable in the areas of business infrastructure, real estate investing, asset protection, and credit, with decades of experience. She is a licensed insurance agent with a Bachelor’s degree in Project Management from AIU and a certification in Paralegal Studies from Canisius College. Growing up in the Langfield Projects of Buffalo, NY has taught her that the lack of information and proper financial planning can limit access to resources and diminish a person’s hope for their future. Because of this, Tamra decided to start a consulting business that offers a wide range of services designed to help people make healthy, informed decisions about their finances and credit.
