As I reflect on my journey, I realize how deeply my experiences have shaped my vision for the Paige Group Foundation Inc. Growing up as a Black woman in an underserved community, I faced countless hardships and challenges that tested my resilience. It became clear to me that we must address the multifaceted obstacles that women like me encounter every day.

At the Paige Group Foundation Inc, we believe that every woman deserves the chance to thrive. We are dedicated to providing the resources, support, and opportunities needed to empower women economically, emotionally, and socially. Our mission to "Secure the Whole Woman" is to create a safe, nurturing environment where women can heal, grow, and succeed-just as I wished for as a young woman navigating my own struggles. The Paige Group Foundation Inc is illuminating the path for those who have been overlooked and

underestimated. Through collective impact, we can transform lives and uplift our communities, ensuring that every woman has the opportunity to rise.

Our core initiatives, She Has Experience, SisterFriends and Secure the Whole Woman Pantry, are designed to foster economic empowerment, build emotional intelligence, and encourage unity within our community. The foundation aims to expand its impact by securing consistent funding through grants, donations and corporate sponsorships, which will enhance our events and services for over 600 women and facilitate future IMPACT throughout our communities.
