OUR STORY
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Danielle discovered early in life that her purpose was to listen to someone’s story and to use her God given talents to assist others in overcoming adversity, pitfalls, and barriers to their destiny. She has vowed to be a voice for abused and neglected children, a mentor and educator of teenage parents, and a counselor to women. Danielle is the Founder and Executive Director of “Women Just Like Me Foundation” an outreach program that aims to offer critical needed services to girls and female adolescence. The organization focuses on the personal, emotional, and social development through it’s “VISA” program which is a series of workshops that empowers girls by showing them there is Victory in Sustaining Abstinence.
Anyone that knows Danielle, knows that her hobbies are shoe shopping and getting dolled up but, at the top of her priority list, is her passion to mentor girls and women of the importance of self care, fostering healthy relationships, and social-emotional wellness.
Danielle was a teenage parent and conquered experiences that tried dismantle her whole existence. She was determined not to be depicted as a teen drop out, a welfare recipient, or a victim of her circumstances. She has obtained her BA in Business Administration and Human Resources Management, and is continuing her education to obtain a MA in Clinical Counseling. She serves as a CASA (Court Appointed Specialist Advocate), Guardian Ad Litem with Franklin County. Danielle is a mentor and life coach for girls and women that seek guidance in both their professional and personal life. She feels blessed that God has given her a platform to reach and inspire others.
