We intend to achieve this by educating and empowering women to become captains of industry, fostering socio-economic growth.”
The Women’s Revolution has many programs and services, including The Women’s Revolution Minority Academic Scholarship, a homeless outreach program, and assistance with applying for public benefits such as Medicaid, WIC, and SNAP.
An interview with the founder, Cheryl Staley-Bullock:
Q: When did you begin your support group and what motivated you to form it?
A: I began my nonprofit organization in 2018 and I became motivated when I noticed how big of a problem this area has of women in need and the small number of organizations that are actually helping them.
Q: What was your initial purpose for the creation of the support group?
A: Our purpose is to help these women in any way possible and we try our best to do that every time the opportunity arises.
Q: After looking at the website, I noticed that there are so many different opportunities that come with this program, including an academic scholarship. How do you guys do it all?
A: Pray and take one day at a time. It always works out!!!
Q: Where do you see the group in five years?
A: In 5 years, I see my nonprofit organization having a transition home for these women and kids.
Q: How can PSA students and family get involved with your group?
A: By following us on Facebook and sharing our posts so that more people are aware of our efforts and outreach.
