Our Why?
For more than a decade, our sister organization, Divas Build Futures Inc., has been a powerful force in mentoring girls and women through life skills training, grief support, and empowerment. We recognize that numerous challenges have historically impeded their ability to remain stable and fully utilize the resources available to them for success. Often, they find themselves without guidance after a setback or miscommunication. It’s undeniable that our lives can change in an instant—sometimes we're ready, and sometimes we're caught off guard. Our initiative aims to establish a comprehensive program that actively collaborates with the community and our participants, positioning us as a beacon of hope in our neighborhood. Heres our answer.
Empowerment & Community Building
Problem: The absence of mentorship and guidance leaves them ill-equipped to handle everyday responsibilities, leading to a cycle of instability and, ultimately, homelessness. A Home for Her aims to address these gaps by advocating for better resources, stronger community connections, and more comprehensive support systems to ensure that girls and women have the opportunities and encouragement they need to thrive in their lives.
Our Solution: Such programs promote empowerment by helping residents build a sense of community and belonging. They can connect with peers who understand their experiences, which can be incredibly healing and motivating.
Stability & Security
Problem: Lack of Safe Shelter and stable environment
Our Solution:Providing a transitional housing program, girls and women will have access to a safe and secure living environment. This stability is crucial for rebuilding their lives and alleviating the anxiety and fear associated with homelessness.
Limitations of Services
Problem: Limited Access to Support Services
Our Solution:Her Homes transitional housing program will incorporate various supportive services, such as counseling, job training, and life skills workshops. This approach directly addresses the barriers that prevent women and girls from gaining independence and self-sufficiency, equipping them with the tools needed to thrive.
Social Trauma
Problem: Social Isolation and Lack of Community Support
Our Solutuion: By fostering a sense of community within the transitional housing program, residents can connect with one another and form supportive relationships. This empowerment can help combat feelings of isolation, providing a network that encourages resilience and shared experiences, ultimately aiding in their successful transition to permanent housing.

Helping the community
Helping the community is at the heart of our nonprofit housing program, as we believe that a strong, united community benefits everyone. One of our key initiatives focuses on assisting seniors, providing them with the resources they need to live comfortably and confidently.
In addition to supporting our senior residents, we actively participate in community clean-up days. Volunteers come together to tidy up parks, streets, and local gathering places, fostering a sense of pride in our shared spaces. Our program also promotes sustainable living through our greenhouse project, where community members can learn about gardening, grow their own food, and contribute to local food security.
DBF All Girls Youth Center
We are thrilled to say we opened our first youth center, the DBF All Girls Youth Center in Plano Texas, dedicated to empowering girls and women in our community. Launched in June 2018, this center has served as a safe haven where young girls can come together, learn, and grow. Our mission is to provide resources and programs that encourage confidence, leadership, and community engagement.
From June 2018 to March 2020, we hosted numerous workshops, mentorship programs, and events that aimed to uplift and inspire our participants. The support we've received from the community has been invaluable, and we are excited to continue fostering a positive and nurturing environment for girls and women for years to come.
I joined DBF at 18 years old during my time at North Texas Job Corps, and it was a transformative experience. DBF significantly boosted my self-esteem and equipped me with essential coping skills. I wholeheartedly recommend DBF to any girl seeking self-discovery and an exceptional mentor!

A Faith Mission
I wholeheartedly believe that the path I've walked is not just my own; it's a beautiful opportunity to uplift and inspire countless girls and women from every walk of life. As the proud founder of Her Homes Housing and Divas Build Futures Inc., my mission is fueled by an unwavering passion to empower women to reach their fullest potential. By holding on to faith, embracing positivity, and accepting life's challenges, we can transform our struggles into stepping stones. If God brought me through my trials, I know He can lead you through yours, too. I've witnessed the remarkable power of transformation in my own life, having faced grief, homelessness, and self-doubt that reshaped my world. With Christ guiding me, I discovered a new path filled with light and hope. I'm eager to share this goodness through acts of service, creating a ripple effect of gratitude and kindness.
My vision is to establish safe enviroments where girls and women can nurture their growth and healing, accessing essential resources for their spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Growing up in a time when home economics and woodshop were part of high school, I was taught essentials that help carry me through my life as a woman today. I was blessed to be raised by my Aunt and Uncle after the passing of my mother when I was just ten years old. My journey wasn’t easy; I stumbled and crawled until my faith in Christ helped me rise and walk a straight path filled with purpose and promise. My mission is to spread hope and unwavering faith through every challenge we face. These dreams are more than mere ideas; they are powerful visions filled with potential. I am dedicated to equipping every girl with the tools she needs to flourish, reminding each of you that together, we can break down barriers and pave the way to a brighter tomorrow. Ladies, it’s time to rise, stand tall, and CLAIM your victories. I am cheering for YOU!
