V.I.R.T.U.E. has developed numerous programs to support the community. TrailblazHers honor the wonderful achievements of women in powerful positions. From careers in medicine, media, entrepreneurship, policymaking, education, and more, women have led as change makers! We are delighted to spotlight each TrailblazHer and those to come. V.I.R.T.U.E. stands for Vessels Imparting and Restoring Temples to Uncontestable Excellence. From that mission statement, V.I.R.T.U.E. has developed into a powerhouse of awareness and empowerment for women, according to the founder of the organization, Deidra Green. “Our focus is to have the message of women’s health and empowerment ring loudly! Established to encourage and build women in leadership, V.I.R.T.U.E.’s vision is to provide informational and motivational programs designed to empower people and ignite change.” As the founder of V.I.R.T.U.E. Inc., Green’s professional and personal life experience as a nurse (B.S.), a business executive (M.B.A.), the First Lady of More Than Conquerors Faith Church, an Elder, minister of the gospel, a wife and a mother has afforded her the opportunity to learn the art of balancing one’s career, family, and personal spiritual life. Her insightful experiences have caused her to gain wisdom practices, which afford her the opportunity to release a message of hope, healing, and love. Green’s versatility has been featured on the local NBC affiliate station during their “Women In Business” special. Green is a wife to Steve Green, the Senior Pastor of More Than Conquerors Faith Church (MTCFC)
in Birmingham, and mother of seven. “The name of our church comes from Romans 8:37. And it says that in spite of everything that’s going on in the world, a principle that is very much applicable for us today looking at society; we conquer, we win.” She currently serves as Human Resource Administrator for MTCFC and Director of Women’s Ministry. Green enjoys encouraging women through ministry, sharing preventative health measures from her experience as a professional nurse and building a resourceful platform for women. Established to encourage and build women in leadership, the TrailblazHer program plays a big part of Green’s work at V.I.R.T.U.E. “I’m personal and passionate about it. It’s definitely been a plus in value added to all of those that have experienced what V.I.R.T.U.E. has to offer.” TrailblazHers honor the wonderful achievements of women in powerful positions. “From careers in medicine, media, entrepreneurship, policymaking, education, and more, women have led as changemakers. We are delighted to spotlight each TrailblazHer and those to come,” says Green. Looking ahead, the nonprofit plans to expand its engagements for leadership development. V.I.R.T.U.E. will provide mentoring and networking opportunities
