One of the most important ways to have a large impact in life is by focusing on communities that are ignored and overlooked. These communities are often the ones most in need of help, tools, and services but for a variety of reasons the largest players in most industries chose not to work on serving them. We’ve been so touched by the thousands of members of our community who are working on serving the underserved from tackling food deserts to building empowering solutions for the neurodiverse. Each week, you’ll find us highlighting folks serving underserved communities.

I was working at a spa back in 2021 and my client hadn’t been to me because she became a new mommy and she said she needed to come for a facial but really just needed to relax. She called and said her sitter had cancelled last minute but I assured her it was okay to bring her baby with her. I’m also a mom so I understand where her stress level and mental stability was in that moment. Read more>>

We work with wildlife – rare, and often endangered wildlife, in fact. These are the species that little is known about, either because there are too few left on this planet, or they are so cryptic and hidden that their role in our shared ecosystems is not yet well understood. Within an ever-changing world of development and human population growth, these species are disappearing before our eyes, oftentimes unknown even to science. What does this have to do with serving the underserved? Read more>>

As an esthetician many of the women I provide skin care services to are Black women who suffer from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. Some of the symptoms of this disorder are irregular periods or infertility, male pattern baldness, weight gain, excessive hair growth and acne breakouts. Read more>>

We create magic. Thanks to the privileged people who come to therapy or purchase our services, we provide psychological care to women victims or survivors of violencia that cannot afford their psychotherapy treatment. This story also starts from my own experience. During my university stage I wanted and needed to go to therapy because I was in a violent relationship, unfortunately my parents could not finance it on a regular basis or support me as they would have liked.

I have always been someone who would advocate and stand up for those who couldn’t use their voice and I’ve been this way since a child. I stood up to the bullies and so-called friends, so it’s no surprise that I have a nonprofit committed to serving those who are often times neglected, overlooked or misunderstood , this is my passion and purpose.

Wedding/Event Planners: you hear this word and you immediately think – “thats a luxury item. I can’t afford that.” Guess what – I fell into that category planning my own wedding, and I was already in the industry doing just exactly that. I couldn’t have afforded one myself, if I wasn’t paying the very people who helped me on my day, via my payroll. Read more>>

I volunteer at a few shelters around the valley every week. There are a ton of perfect dogs that need homes. While i personally am not able to add to my pack at this current time, I can at least give back by spending time with them and seeing how they like the treadmills or at least spend some time outside of their kennels.
