Kimberly’s story was so touching and inspiring. She runs an amazing organization called Ladies of Leadership. A description from their site. “We are an organization that is focused on building and enhancing leadership and interpersonal skills for inner city young ladies in impoverished communities. We build sisterhood and trust through mentoring so that young ladies develop a sense of worth and confidence.”

Kimberly took her own life experiences and used them to help others. I think that is one of the most important things we can do for each other, share our stories and learn from each other. If you have been down and got back up, share that with others so they can pull from your strength. If you are in a position to help, Ladies of Leadership accepts donations to help cover the costs for young girls to be part of the mentorship program. You can donate to this amazing organization here.

Coming September 2020, ‘Heart and Soul’ is a photo installation project that was created to elevate the voices of some of Cincinnati’s amazing Black Womxn. Commissioned by Artworks and funded by FotoFocus I worked with 8 youth apprentices to make mini murals created with painted photos that will be wheat pasted on Black Owned businesses around Cincinnati.
