Denise M. Smith serves as an Operations Manager for a leading health care provider in Northern California and is the proprietor of Xxcellent Kreations Events and Custom Items. She is also the founder of Women Warring United (WWU), a faith-based movement, and Wives Who War (W3), an online community for wives that promotes safety, transparency, and support.

Denise is a firm believer in the power of prayer and is dedicated to engaging, equipping, encouraging, and empowering wives to also believe in the power of prayer. She understands that her role as a wife is divinely appointed to be her husband's helper (as stated in Genesis 2:18), providing support and standing as a strong defender and warrior in life's physical and spiritual battles.

Residing in Antioch, California with her husband Lonnie, Denise is a devoted mother of six sons—one of whom now rests in glory—and a loving grandmother to six grandchildren, three girls and three boys. Beyond her role as a prayer warrior, she finds joy in worship through song, fitness, travel, and cherishing moments with her family.
