How do I start my own FIERCE Journey?
How can I support FIERCE Foundation?
When I relocated to a safe and habitable housing, it marked the first time I felt empowered to envision a life beyond the cycle of abuse and hopelessness that had previously defined my existence. My goal is to establish a self-sufficiency collaborative that can profoundly impact the mental wellbeing of women and their children, equipping them with the education, access, and community to overcome systemic obstacles and create a sustainable future for themselves and their children.
