We recently connected with Tempest Parker and have shared our conversation below.
Tempest , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
See me now crown me is a non- profit organization, we believe in the four R’s where we strive to resurrect, restore,restyle the community so they may reign!
We believe that God gives us all a second chance! I heard the Holy Spirit say
Some of our homeless people are our new doctors, lawyers, teachers, preachers they just need a second chance!
God took me through a life changing experience that birthed this non profit !
Where we not only feed and clothe the community but we give them resources!
Job core, cell phones, hair cuts, health care and more!
This idea gets me excited because I see “resurrection” I see “New life”
I was able to taste homelessness and I remember someone giving me a second chance!! This what it truly looks like to give your life back to Christ!
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
My name is Tempest Parker, i am a fiancé a young minister and Entrepreneur. I am also the CEO and founder of “See Me Now Crown Me Inc.”
I went to school for mass communications! I wanted to be a motivational speaker! But I ended up going to school for ministry and theology! I LOVE HELPING PEOPLE! It’s always been a passion of mine! I got into the industry by going away to college in Raleigh, North Carolina “ SHAW UNIVERSITY” GO BEARS
I thought I was going down there for school but God sent me on an assignment! To save one soul, to bring someone to Christ and while I was down there “see me now crown me inc.” was birthed! Through obedience, I saw the fruit of what it looked like to truly live for christ! By resurrecting, restoring, restyling and seeing Gods daughter reign!
Our business provides a few things as it’s “incorporated”
“WE FIND OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST, NOTMAN!!”
We RESURRECT by loving on our community! Not seeing them by where they are currently in life, but meeting them there and seeing them for who God called them to be! “ GET UP, I see you and so does God” speaking into them and inviting them into a comfortable and safe space! Aswell as Helping people understand their identity! This concept birthed a weekly Bible study called “ Disciples in the Desert” where we feed them with the word of God, and physically.
ALL ARE WELCOME!
We RESTORE them by giving them the word of God! Feeding them spiritually and physically. HELPING them with the necessary things they need to get by and get their foot in the door! Counseling is even available! Giving women a safe space to chat and talk about life!! We created a women’s panel called “let’s talk ladies” We believe in bridging the Gap! Using resources and other businesses to collaborate! For the restoration of Gods people.
We RESTYLE! We believe in getting Fly! The word of God says that we are kings and priest! We don’t just want to feel the part but we want to look the part aswell! Haircuts and clothes are available to them! Everything they need to feel fresh and ready! Which birthed a a Christian clothing line called crowned apparel.
Lastly we REIGN! We understand that man don’t crown us! GOD DOES!
See me now crown me came from understanding that man don’t crown me! Our father Jesus Christ does! He sees us and that’s all that matters!
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
I had to leave and Go back to college! This time my parents didn’t want me to leave! But I heard Holy Spirit tell me to go back! I went and I only had $65 in my pocket! The entire night! I didn’t know how I was going to get a ride, I had nowhere to sleep, I had no one to call, but God was with me I had peace!! He talked to me all night long! That night I got to feel what it was like to be homeless, sleeping in a parking garage! Me being able to feel homelessness that night made ma have a bigger heart for homeless people! Which birthed this non profit!
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
The fruits of the spirit!!! You can’t have one without the other but the main one would be “ long suffering” we don’t like that one lol it’s not sweet! But it’s necessary! Endurance is necessary for the journey and the purpose of the kingdom! Can you endure!? Because your yes is unlocking someone else’s yes!
