community
our history
I grew up in the projects and became a teenage mother at sixteen. I had two kids in college and at age twenty three I had
four. I went from welfare to the owner of several business. The poor are a diamond in the rough. They need to be cultivated. It's amazing what can be done when we come together. We give a fish while teaching how to fish.
