Letter from our Founder and Executive Director:

There a biblical principle that says, “To whom much is given, much is required”.  These words, introduced to me as a child, began to come to life in my heart and mind when I started my first mentoring group over 10 years ago. In the faces of those 5th grades girls, I saw myself each and every moment we spent time together. In their eyes I recognized their desire to do and become all that was ever dreamed or imagined; the determination to break the status-quo and stereotypes that society used to define the “inner city” where we lived; and the resilience to overcome challenges that came their way. Even though I was the mentor, these Young Ladies of Distinction, taught me so much about myself and ignited a passion in me to everything that I could to see them and others walk out their purpose in life.
