Meet the founders
We are a woman-founded nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a positive impact across our community. As two Nashville natives, we've directly witnessed the effects of our city’s growth. Our goal is to reach as many people as we can, spreading light and love. We believe in the power of diversity and that, at the core, we are all one kind, humankind.

I have an incredible passion for helping others, deeply rooted in my own experiences with difficult times. I have been fortunate to have had support from people and organizations, and now I’m committed to offering that same help to others. This is my second nonprofit, with my first still thriving. My heart is particularly focused on serving the most vulnerable, children and the elderly, and you are dedicated to making a meaningful impact in their lives.
