Quick story... I was sitting in my car at CVS waiting on my son's prescription and I started thinking about being a teen mom and how if I knew a smidgen of what I knew now, would my life been and my childrens life been different or would I have been to young to understand what I had. I started thanking God for seeing me through everything I had been through because at the time when I was going through it, I didn't understand why me? I was a good girl (at least most days lol), I wasn't doing anything different then what my friends were doing,yet I end of pregnant. I was thinking about how I was homeless for 5 1/2 months at the age of 19 with 2 children and no money to even get food. THEN, it came to me, I had been wanting to start a nonprofit for young girls, especially young pregnant and abused mothers for years. So, I decided to do some research and realized that even though it's a lot of tedious work to start a nonprofit, it's not hard. I immediately started thinking about who I wanted to be on my board members and who could help me get things going that would be as passionate as me. Who could I invite to do a presentation to talk about my idea and who would be interested? Who could I have mentor me and help make sure things are done right? I put together a flyer on canva right from my phone and made a list of everyone who I think would be perfect for this organization and why. I also thought what role they would be good and and got to work. I started watching Youtube videos and reading articles about nonprofits and got intrigued, took notes and sent messages to people who knew of knowledge of nonprofits and sent them messages. I reached out to my good friend Laquanda and told her what I was doing and she said I'M IN, what do you need help with and how do I join?
