🌟 Then and Now 🌟
In 2022, I stood at the threshold of a dream with my first micro-grant for “Meet Her At The Gate.” It was a humble start fueled by passion and a deep desire to make a difference. Fast forward to today, and I’m beyond grateful to announce that Severe Solutions LLC has been honored with funding through NJLEAD by the New Jersey Department of Corrections. This new chapter allows us to expand our support for sisters prepping to reclaim their places in their communities. 🙌🏾
Every step of this journey has been a testament to God’s grace and timing. From the days of small beginnings to moments like these, it’s clear that every challenge faced was setting the stage for greater victories. And yes, I was wearing my lucky dress when we got the news—some things are just meant to be! 😄✨
Here’s to turning pain into purpose and pasts into stepping stones for the future. We are just getting started!
