A Deeper Purpose

I believe in the importance of community and have a vision to help and serve, and keenly interested in being an active participant in building community and impacting lives. I believe that incessant outreach is critical to the strength and well-being of any community, through hard work and communal dedication. I have a bold story to tell, a story of triumph, and I suspect that you do as well. I have an impetus desire to tell that, or those stories, using any means, and platforms on hand, so that others might come to a place of fullness and realize the same hope in their own lives.

I have realized that being an entrepreneur has less to do with how many entities or businesses you “start-up”, and more to do with how many lives are positively changed by way of selfless efforts. I seek opportunities to come alongside individuals and organizations who strive to be more effective and true to their mission.

With that said; after having stepped into my own calling and served as a volunteer for women’s outreach (single mom’s, homeless, domestic abuse victims) throughout South Florida on and off over the past decade, I’ve returned to  an organization that is very dear and close to my heart- Agape Family Ministries; a residential treatment facility for women being released from jail, suffer from mental illness and/or addictions, and have an open case with the Department of Children and Families.

Not only are most of these women battling the aftermath of severe child and adulthood trauma, that led them to addictions and other destructive patterns of behavior, but, more importantly, these women seek a second chance, a chance to improve all aspects of their lives, particularly the spiritual.

Agape’s core purpose and mission to “Restore individuals and families to psychological, social, physical, and spiritual health” aligns with the very essence of that which I represent in my own practice and are the very fundamentals that I can get behind. – As a Health & Fitness coach, Mentor and Chaplain to these women, I do.

Because I am passionate about the fact that nutrition (proper diet), exercise and spiritual balance are the key components to long-term wellness; we have currently launched a campaign via “Go Fund Me” in an effort to fund the permanent implementation of an integrative wellness program. Please take the time to view, donate and share here: Complete Wellness 4 ALL: Let’s fund this!

Other outreach projects I’ve been involved with are:

  • The Miami Rescue Mission – Teaching self-esteem and parenting to women;
  • Christ Journey Church Single Mom’s ministry – mentoring to single moms;  and CJC’s Youth Group Camp – as camp leader;
  • Peace Unlimited, Inc.-  Founder of non-profit that aided artists in under served communities;
  •  Living Water Cafe- Creative Director of weekly (now monthly) events to help raise funds for clean water and other outreach initiatives.

To receive more information on intake for you or a loved one, or to simply find out how you, too can partner with and contribute to AGAPE  by way of time or donations, please use the “contact” page to complete an inquiry inserting “Agape” in the subject line.
