Travels from Tennessee
In her God-given calling and gifts as an inspirational speaker and fashion stylist, Donna Roland is passionate about helping women embrace their beauty, self-confidence, and the Truth that we are all carefully created and divinely designed.
Donna has endured various trials, and she uses these to encourage women to find hope through faith in God. Ten years into her personal coaching and speaking career, a breast cancer diagnosis led to a new keynote presentation: Get Up! Dress Up! Never Give Up! Donna's testimony of diagnosis, struggles, and survivorship inspires women to find strength and joy in every situation. From her own experience, Donna encourages women to overcome any setback with an even stronger comeback.
As a child, Donna had a flair for fashion -- she always had to find "just the right purse" to accompany every outfit. As an adult, Donna flourishes as a Fashionista who uses her God-given interests and gifts to help women look their best and walk in confidence with wardrobe choices that are best for their shape, and color and accessory choices that best complement their frame size and personality styles. Donna loves helping women embrace the importance of appearance and the role it plays in defining who they are and what they want to represent. As a Certified Style & Color Analysis Specialist, Donna stays informed on the latest colors, styles and trends in order to help women dress for their individual coloring and body type, as well as their budget, faith and lifestyle.
Donna has served as a keynote speaker at many Christian and corporate women's conferences, workshops, and even a couple of cruises. She has appeared on radio and television talk shows, including Atlanta Live and Always More TV. Donna is the Fashion and Style Writer for Christian Vogue Magazine. Through her training and expertise -- and with fun and excitement! -- Donna will inspire you to develop your very own personal style, feel more confident, and love the woman in your mirror! Never forget that you are a reflection of God's perfection!
Donna loves to travel and meet new people. She enjoys life in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in Sevierville, Tennessee where she lives with her husband Jeff, and enjoys having her adult son Kevin nearby.
"Whatever you are going through, never give up hope.
There is always hope.
We don't always have a choice about what happens to us,
but we have a choice on how to handle those things.
My goal is to be an example of hope and never giving up."

Testimonials
"When planning a recent ladies' tea at our church, we prayed for a speaker who would inspire, encourage, and engage with our women, while also equipping us to live in God's promises. Going above and beyond that prayer, God led us to Donna Roland. Her story behind Get Up! Dress Up! Never Give Up! is inspirational, shining God's hope into our more difficult seasons of life. To top it off, now we know our colors and style a bit better, but going deeper than our outer beauty, we can stand taller in Godly confidence as we daily embrace the truth of being a reflection of God's perfection."

I love Donna's presentations so much I've had her return time and time again! Not only does she help us discover our best colors and how to dress for our body types, she reminds us that we have inner beauty as daughters of the King. Donna is an inspirational, humorous, and engaging speaker willing to stay after the event to speak to attendees.

"Donna spent a lovely weekend with us. She took the time to work with our steering committee, giving each one a special time with colors and styles. During a larger event, she brought joy and beauty to all our ladies. Their smiles and the line to talk with Donna speak to her impact. What impressed me the most was Donna's perspective ... she sees beauty in every woman she encounters. She sees worth in every woman and every story. That is truly a very special gift."

"The Women's Ministry of our church had an incredible weekend retreat with Faithfully Fashionable's Donna Roland recently. We are still talking about it at our church! Not only did she do a great job instructing us about our best colors and styles, she also created a gentle, Christ-like atmosphere where we felt such comradeship with each other. We created many great memories together and cemented some great friendships. Donna's sweet spirit never once made us feel criticized or self-conscious. We came home more beautiful on both the inside and outside!"

"Your presentation all those years ago has made all the difference in my confidence level; I always think about your tips to level my outfit up and make sure all the components are working for me rather than against me ... was a game changer for me!"
Leanne Fisher
"We enjoyed you coming so much! I have been to three of your events and you never disappoint!!! I highly recommend you!"
Michelle Warf
"Donna taught me that just because I love a color doesn't mean it loves me. I have put her suggestions to work and all I can say is WO! I feel better (and stand taller) when I look in the mirror, and I'm seriously getting compliments from those around me thinking I've done something different, but all I've changed is how I dress and accessorize. I always thought black was slimming but found out wearing YOUR color is what makes you look your best. I HIGHLY recommend her services!"

"I was so blessed by your talent and expertise at our style analysis. I was so excited I went shopping that very night -- and the next day I worked my new colors and was complimented left and right! Thank you!!!!"

"The Sevier Chapter of American Business Women's Association and the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce co-sponsored the 2013 Polished Professional Seminar for Sevier County Business Professionals. The professional development seminar featured Donna J. Roland, Certified Christian Image Consultant, as our keynote speaker. Ms. Roland's interactive presentation was enlightening as she provided insight on body image as well as tips on dressing to enhance our body types and best assets. The reaction from the audience was overwhelmingly positive, and guests identified with her message that we are all "carefully created and divinely designed"! As the President of the Sevier Chapter of ABWA, I am looking forward to working with Ms. Roland for future professional development workshops."

"Donna! Donna Donna! What a blessing to have you with us yesterday. I can't believe how much I did not know about fashion. You are amazing. God bless!"
"You are amazing!!!!! I so, so appreciate you blessing us with your time and knowledge. You are a GIFT!"
"Thank you, Donna! I enjoyed getting to know you at the secretary's conference in Sevierville. Your tips have been drilled into my brain. Every time I pick out what I'm going to wear, I think of you. I may not get all of my beauty points, but I am more conscious of what I need to be doing. It makes me feel more put together and prettier when I do. Great ministry!"
