I decided to start my own nonprofit at the age of 19, not truly understanding the lifestyle I would soon have to leave behind me. Now three years later at the age of 22 I'm starting to realize just what that meant; the "lifestyle"- what I wear, what I say, what I post, (private page or not), and who I stand around- this is all a reflection of not only me, but my company reMakE. #StandForSomethingOrFallForAnything #FosterCare #Eighteen #Change #reMakE #BostonStrong #BecauseOfThemWeCan #RealTalkKim #PinkyPromise #CapeCod

Maya Angelou taught me that!

Some people ask me why I do what I do. My simple answer- there isn't one. But my question to you is, where you ever lost and felt like no one was around to help you out your rut? Well if so then you should know how important it is to give back to an individual that was once you. #reMakE #FosterCare #BecauseOfThemWeCan #BecauseOfThemICan #BandTogetherForAChange #ChangeMaker #AgingOut #JusticeForAll

Proverbs 31:8-9

"After more than 10 years in foster care and having lived in more than a dozen foster homes and group homes, I did something that I (and many others) did not imagine was even possible—I finished school! I attended three different middle schools and four different high schools while I was in care. I never thought I would even finish high school. I’ve earned four degrees since leaving foster care. The BA I got from Bennett College taught me to be proud of being a Black woman. The MA I earned from North Carolina A&T State University introduced me to the great work from Black literary giants. Both of those HBCUs taught me the legacy of Black revolutionaries and that has proven particularly useful, especially now. The MA degree I received from the University of Massachusetts Amherst helped me to know that I have more fight in me than I thought. But this degree—this PhD—is special. It represents something much larger, I think. This one is for the little Black girls and the little Black boys who are languishing in the child welfare system and cannot see their lives beyond foster care. This one is for you. I just need you to know you can do this! I believe in you."- Dr. Julia Charles Dr. Julia received her PhD in African American Studies (concentration 19th and 20th century literature and culture) and will join the faculty at Auburn University as Assistant Professor of Early African American Literature in the fall. #NewBlackStereotype #BecauseOfThemWeCan #EuniqueJones #WeAreNotAStatistic #FosterCare #WeMadeIt #reMakE #Nonprofit

I simply do what I do to truly give back to a deserving community. Again if it weren't for those who stood by me in my youth years I wouldn't be who I am today and shocking fact that should hit home with you if nothing else does is If nothing changes… by the year 2020: •22,500 children will die of abuse or neglect, most before their fifth birthday •More than 10.5 million children will spend some time in foster care More than 300,000 children will #AgeOut of our foster care system, some in poor health and many unprepared for success in higher education, technical college or the workforce. •75,000 former foster youth, who aged out of the system, will experience homelessness #PleaseDoYoutPart #SpreadTheWord #BeTheExample #BeTheChangeForTheseYouth #reMakE15 #RemakeDinnerBanquet

Sometimes in life we just disappoint our parents to the point where we neglect to understand they are speaking and coming from a place of understanding and experience. But most times teens like Jean stray away from the path of discipline and land in a hole too deep to escape. #ParentHood #MotherHood #MotherandSon #TheOtherAndrewDouglas #reMakE15 #RemakeDinnerBanquet #FosterCare #System #AgingOut #Eighteen #FosterAYouth #Mentor #OurSystemNeedsYou

My two major supporters Michele Marie Conners & Mary Cecilia Collins. Without these two in my life constantly pushing me for better and bigger I wouldn't be who and where I am proud to say I stand today. Love you two tremendously
