No experience needed — just show up ready to work and we'll put you to good use.

Our updated volunteer dates are officially live, so if this Saturday doesn't work for you, take a look at the schedule and grab a future date that does. Every pair of hands helps us keep Black homeowners in their homes.

See you Saturday! 🛠️

Taking Ownership is honored to be acknowledged inside the National Civil Rights Museum of Memphis' newly reimagined Legacy Experience at the Lorraine Hotel, as part of the Housing Pillar of Justice.

Here is a quick recap of our trip to Memphis, TN where we mingled with other honorees and museum staff at the VIP opening, and brought out family and friends to explore the exhibits during the public reopening on May 16th!

It is such a powerful museum that truly captures the historical and present experiences of civil rights movements across the nation, and shows how those rights are continuing to be fought for today. We highly recommend visiting!

We're back with another yard transformation! This yard was due for some attention from our hard-working volunteers, and they really got the job done. Watch as the yard transforms, with garden beds and a big lawn, clearing a path for the homeowners to use as they choose. The difference is impressive!

If you enjoy our work, please consider leaving a donation or joining our volunteer force through our website!

Thank you for all the support as we move into another project filled summer!

It took a lot longer than expected due to unforeseen circumstances, but my website is finally live! Click the link in my bio to learn more about home energy assessments, the incentives you can access and how it benefits you as the homeowner, the process from the assessment to receiving a cash incentive for energy efficiency upgrades, and to schedule your own no-cost home energy assessment with me!

I truly appreciate your ongoing support!
