Women Tackle Real Concerns at October 8th Rosemont Gathering
Power of Mercy Urges Women to Champion Their Own Rights
Women across America are being disenfranchised and undervalued. Yvonne Florczak Seeman, CEO of Love From Above Inc., understands. She's been there. Her personal story is just part of the impetus behind the Power of Mercy, a one day women's conference coming to the Rosemont Convention Center on Saturday, October 8, 2016. The event, serving thousands of women, will bring together legal, educational, medical and spiritual professionals to advocate on behalf of those who have been under represented and under served for too long.
Young, poor and Latina, Seeman found herself subject to a system that held no compassion and no comprehension of the tools necessary to survive, let alone thrive, in a society that views the powerless as invisible. Despite the odds against her, Seeman made it through and is determined to be part of the solution to empowering women and helping supply them with the resources to lift themselves out of poverty and despair to break vicious cycle of abuse, conquer futility and become empowered.
Today, she leads a Power Movement seeking to empower women and end their exploitation.

Seeman has taken on the mantle of protector and defender of women’s rights because she herself was taken advantage of and betrayed by those who claimed to represent her. “We are taking back our power,” Seeman exclaimed, “We are the protectors of women’s equal rights. It’s time for women to be informed about what’s really happening in American politics. The major political parties seem to be missing what really matters to women. The Power of Mercy is a gathering that invites women to speak and be heard.”
