ABOUT THE FOUNDER

IMG_7635_edited.png

A Light of Sisterhood, Faith, and Empowerment
 

Chevalier DeShay is a visionary leader, faith-filled trailblazer, and passionate advocate for women discovering purpose in the beautifully complex journey of faith, family, healing, and career. She believes sisterhood is not simply a connection—it is a calling and a force designed
by God to lift, heal, and empower women to rise together.

 

With over 20 years of experience in healthcare administration and more than a decade in ministry, Chevalier uniquely bridges professional excellence with spiritual authority. Her leadership reflects both strategic insight and deep compassion—meeting women at the
intersection of real life and divine purpose.

 

Alongside her husband, Pastor Carl L. DeShay Sr., Chevalier co-founded Kingdom Harvest Ministries International in Bastrop, Texas, in obedience to a divine call to serve. Together, they have built more than a ministry—they have cultivated a movement grounded in faith, truth, and impact.
 

Chevalier lives by a message that defines her leadership: “Rejoice in the victories of your fellow women, for the overflow of celebration knows no
bounds.”

 

She boldly declares that there is no competition among chosen women—only collaboration. Each woman has her own God-ordained destination, but none are meant to journey alone. Her story is not one of perfection—but of redemption, resilience, and rising. Chevalier has walked through insecurity, rejection, brokenness, and seasons of searching for validation in the wrong places. Yet through every trial, God refined her. Today, she stands not as someone who has arrived, but as a woman who is still becoming—and courageously invites others to rise with her.
 

She is living proof that your past does not disqualify you—it prepares you. Through Chosen Women Empower, Chevalier challenges women to stop hiding behind their wounds and start building with them, trusting that everything they’ve endured is pushing them toward everything
they are becoming.

 

A proud graduate of Huston-Tillotson University with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management and an MBA from Baylor University, Chevalier uses her education, experience, and anointing to activate women from all walks of life. Under her leadership, women are not
merely inspired—they are equipped, empowered, and activated.

 

At the heart of Chevalier’s work is a simple yet powerful declaration: We are Learning. Growing. Evolving—together.
 

She invites every woman to embrace who she is, answer the call on her life, and step boldly into purpose—Chosen, Equipped, and Called for such a time as this.
