What does it mean to RISE?

Meet the authors of Born to Rise and discover the power of HERstory to elevate our lives.


Kim Fuller, Founder of Born to Rise, shares the vision behind the Author Summit and the Born to Rise book!


What’s in store …

The Born to Rise Author Summit is a series of short, conversational interviews with the twenty-two extraordinary women who contributed their stories to the Born to Rise book project.

You’ll get to know the authors on a personal level and learn what the idea of “the rise” means to each of them. In answering that deceptively simple question, each gives a glimpse into the inner dynamic of a woman who has claimed her personal power and chosen to live her life — and her story — on her own terms.

The Details

  • Summit Dates: March 20 - 24, 2022

  • Format: We will release 4-5 video interviews per day over the course of the week. Each day, you’ll get a link to view that day’s interviews in your email. The interviews will be available to rewatch after the close of the summit.

Meet the Founder

Kim Fuller is a mindful photographer, mindfulness and story coach, author, TEDx speaker, and the founder of Born to Rise™. Her passion is to help women stand in their power, their story and their beauty so they can live a confident and peaceful life. She uses photography to mirror the beauty she sees in each woman, empowering them to show up authentically in business and life.

Kim gives women a platform to share their personal stories with a live audience so they can process, release, and transform from victim to hero. She provides mindful tools through her Art of the P.A.U.S.E. method that invite women to slow down and look carefully inward. This enables them to expand in creativity, intuition, peace, and joy, and release their fears, judgments, and assumptions of themselves and others.

Kim leads workshops and story exchanges in the DEI space, with women’s groups and at conferences. She has been a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator for Chubb insurance, Bank Newport, Bryant Women’s Summit, the United Way, IGT, Adidas, Day One and many other organizations. She has been a guest on several podcasts, radio shows, and television spots speaking about mindfulness and the power of storytelling.

One of Kim’s greatest gifts is she is a great hugger. She is a mother of three children, one of whom is adopted and is her greatest spiritual teacher. Her first book, Finding, tells the story of her journey with this young boy and the Dalai Lama.
