READ MY STORY
"That is great what you are doing but I don’t expect anything less because you are a great person. You was a listening ear when I had concerns about my daughter encouraged her to succeed and now she is a RN with a BSN keep doing what you are doing you will never know the impact you have on people I want to say THANK YOU MY DEAR LADY"
- Katrina Jackson

"Good morning, Alia. I hope all is well. I wanted to share some good news with you. My daughter accepted a position at Rutgers University to be a professor of African American Studies. She will do this while wrapping up her PhD at Princeton University. Yes, she attended Princeton just as she proclaimed as a little girl.
So "Thank You!" for having such a profound impact on her. Her introduction to blackness and black excellence came from you and her experiences at Lonnie Young. Evidence that youth programming does impact lives!"
- Parent of a Former Student

"Alia was fabulous - so knowledgeable and well-rounded in her approach."
- PACDC Manager - Trauma Informed Evaluations
