What an exciting week!

We were honored to welcome Dr. Theresa Pepcee’ Edward’s, author of 40-Day Human Detox, as our guest speaker for our Sisters United to Win Program. She shared with us her powerful story, inspiring our middle and high school girls to continue striving for greatness, healing, and purpose. Thank you, Dr. Edward’s, for pouring into our youth and making such a meaningful impact!

We also had a great time in Macomb County’s Community Impact Day! A huge thank you to Connect Macomb and First Star Bank Michigan for hosting and coordinating such and amazing county-wide event. We’re also their partnership, support, and volunteer Team, Anchor Bay Chamber of Commerce, and Advancing Macomb for thru partnership, support, and volunteer efforts in serving our community.

Together, we are making a difference!
