Mission Statement

She died at age 25 as a result of suicide. She lost HOPE. Hope of being reconciled with Hope, the daughter she gave up for adoption at 21. Hope of being able to fulfill her dreams of staying stable so she could “change the world through voter registration and educational efforts about consumer rights. Hope of ever being “normal”.

Instrumental in founding Home Ownership Matters, LLC in 2002 which has gone on to become a nationally recognized company. She did all the work except the writing of the “Consumer’s Guide to Predatory Lending” and single handedly successfully distributed it at the 2002 Black Expo, the largest expo of it’s kind in the country with an estimated attendance of 162,000.

While her death is a testimony to the failure of the mental health community in the United States to address the needs of many of our best and brightest minds, her death has not been in vain. Dove Publishing House is the legacy she inspired to complete the work she had begun.
