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!
