Technically, last night on Twitter (@felicianewme) I revealed to my Tweeps about my BIG announcement. I feel very humble to announce it again as well:
I am seriously thinking about the taking the first steps to implementing my dreams of starting my own Domestic Violence non-profit organization. I'm so excited and have been embraced by my immediate friends that have ventured out into the non-profit sector. God said in His word, to "write the vision plain on tablets......". My journals, website and blogs are that outlet I use to reveal my deepest feelings and desires to Him, my supporters and to my faithful readers.
I'm so excited about this dream and vow to do whatever it takes to accomplish all that God has for me to do, achieve and receive in this beautiful world. I know so many people will benefit from this vision and souls will be won over to Christ, who strengthens me, even when I don't recognize my own strength.
My goals are:
- To open a shelter in the Chicago land area that house women with male and female children
- Provide housing an assistance to victims and survivors of domestic violence
- Start scholarship foundations for African American teens and moms to continue their educational goals
- Develop creative writing and artistic resources for youth that live in urban areas of Chicago
- Provide mentoring an parenting programs for teen moms
Where do I start with this process? GOD, prayer and friends. I know that at least is a great foundation to start with and I am confident that the vision of God, will be carried out! Is it gonna be easy? Of course not! But I embrace growth in myself and those around me. I am asking for your prayers, thoughts, feedback, tips, volunteering and networking opportunities, etc. that will help make a difference in a person's life that suffers from domestic violence, in any capacity. I look forward to continuing in the fight with you to BREAK THE SILENCE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!!
