I am a single parent of 2, originally from Tennessee. I moved to Denver to start a new life with my children and we moved into transitional housing which helped us find our footing. I was able to pay little to no rent which allowed me to save and be prepared once we moved out. I earned a college degree and gained new skills to help me obtain a decent-paying job. I was able to become more confident and self-sufficient due to transitional housing. Once I moved out, I was able to move into a project-based voucher apartment that gave me the space to work on elevating me and my children.

Today I am employed and able to help others who are currently in the position I once was in. I’m big on empowering single parents in realizing that they are not their circumstances and they are stronger than they believe. I hope to be an example to others that anything is possible.
