Our Founder
Donna M. Ferrara
Founder & Visionary
Donna has always been fascinated with seeing beyond the Veil and searching for purpose and meaning in life. Since she was a little girl, she has been aware that there is more out there than we were lead to believe in school, church and on the television. The inspiration for searching for truth became acutely alive again after having gone quiet during the years of marriage and rearing children. The worldwide experiment in 2020 was a catalyst for a firestorm igniting her vision eventually into the founding of The Awakening Summit in 2025. She is a passionate child advocacy supporter focused on raising awareness around child trafficking and child protection.
She plans to build her non-profit "The Awakening Summit" enterprise into a national, if not international conference occurring at least twice a year in person, eventually expanding into podcast interviews of past and future guests at these semi-annual events.
Donna was born and raised in New York, and currently resides in Nassau County.
