Julie Smolyansky became the youngest female CEO of a publicly held firm at the age of 27 when she took over leadership of Lifeway Foods in 2002. The company was founded by her refugee parents over 30 years ago with the mission of bringing Kefir, an Eastern European product, into the U.S. mainstream. Under her leadership, the company has boosted revenues to over $100 million today from $12 million when she took over. For almost 30 years, Julie has actively worked to end domestic violence and sexual assault, creating and teaching the first teen dating violence curriculum in the Chicagoland with YWCA while in High School. She began her career as an in-home family counselor working with families in the DCFS system before leaving the professional field of psychology to join her family business. She is a certified rape crisis counselor and formerly on the board of Resilience, previously known as the Rape Victim Advocates here in Chicago. Her journey has taken her overseas to Uganda to work with survivors in a refugee camp, with mothers and teen girls in Bangladesh, and not long ago, she was part of a delegation invited to help rape victims and survivors of war gain a seat at the negotiation table during the Colombian peace process. Julie has produced several films focused on social justice, including the Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated documentary “The Hunting Ground.” Along with her production work on “The Hunting Ground,” she also shared the stage with 49 other survivors at the 2016 Oscars during Lady Gaga’s iconic performance of “Til It Happens to You,” which was written for the film. In 2013 Julie co‐founded a non‐profit, Test400k, an organization dedicated to ending the backlog of 400,000 untested rape kits in the United States. She also worked with the Obama White House on the “It’s On Us” initiative, an awareness campaign to help end sexual assault on college campuses. Julie was named to Fortune Business ‘40 under 40,’ Fortune’s 55 Most Influential Women on Twitter, Fortune Business ‘Best Instagrammers of the 40 Under 40’ and Fast Company’s Most Creative People in Business 1000. Julie serves as an emeritus member of the United Nations Foundation Global Entrepreneurs Council and was part of the 2015 class of Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum.

I was born in Hamburg, Germany and moved to Taiwan when I was 5 years old. I moved to America when I was 8. My parents divorced when I was 8 years old and I did not see my dad for 10 years. This created a hole in my heart and I started living from an orphan mindset and a spirit of lack. I felt like I was not enough and I didn't have enough. I was always trying to prove my worth by striving to be enough for those around me. I became a people pleaser and did not know how to speak up for myself. At the age of 12 I accepted Jesus into my life and started to be guided by Him. He started to show me my true identity and I started to break free of every bondage and limitation in my heart and mind. I started a ministry by simply going overseas and following the Holy Spirit. I went to South Africa with $20 in my pocket and had to overcome extreme persecution and hardship to set people free. I became unafraid. Many times I had to trust that God was truly speaking because He would tell me not to book anything and that I was going to stay with someone. Sure enough, I'd stay with someone that I'd prophesy over. I've faced the fear of death, fear of rejection, judgement, lack, starvation, being homeless. I became fearless and use my story to show others that their identity is not attached to what happens to them but who they are on the inside. When I started to see that my identity had NOTHING to do with what I could accomplish, how much I had, how others treated me, I became unstoppable. I started setting others free from the fear of not being enough or not having enough. In God's eyes, He only sees Jesus in you. He does not see sin or blemish. That is grace. You are a child of God, not an orphan. You are worthy of love. My specialty is healing the father wound, setting people from fear and limitations in their heart, and SPEAKING LIFE OVER DEAD BONES. GOD WANTS YOU TO LIVE OUT YOUR DREAMS!
