Picture it May 6, 2011, God woke me from a deep sleep and clear as day I heard “beauties from within” and I immediately got up and started journaling all the thoughts He was giving me. After months of planning, frustration, crying, and praying Family First, Clara’s Connection, and Above Academics was derived out of Beauties From Within, Incorporated.
Fast forward Summer of 2012, I held my first Beauties From Within, Inc. interest meeting at the Highlands Library. My mom and I sat there in that meeting room for over an hour and not one person showed up. Disappointed was an understatement. Right as we were preparing to pack up, in walks Joye and Honesty.
Nervously, I introduced myself and the vision that I had for my organization. I apologized for the lack of community support that I had in this interest meeting and Joye immediately stated there was plenty support there, her and her daughter. She immediately signed them up as volunteers. At that moment, I had my very first volunteers outside of my family that believed in me and my vision.
Over the years they both have continued to show up for Beauties From Within, Inc. be it monetarily, physically, or sending their well wishes on community events. For that, I am immensely grateful for your unwavering support to my vision of giving back to our community. They were an inspiration to me and my business back then and they still are today.
With that being said, please help me congratulate Honesty on being the 2024 recipient of the inaugural Above Academics Scholarship. She is being awarded this $500 scholarship to help her continued educational journey this fall at Clark Atlanta University.
Again, thank you Honesty and Joye’ for believing in Beauties From Within Inc. and its vision of Reconnecting Our Community One Man, Woman, and Child At A Time.
Honesty, remember your roots baby girl. Stay true to yourself. While it’s important to adapt and grow, always stay true to your values and beliefs. 💜🦋💕✨
