Overcome
My inspiration to start this organization came from the devastating life shift I had at the age of six. I
was left confused, lost and broken by the shift my life took with the incarceration of my father.
Overcome's mission is to offer art-based programming, activities, and support services for children with incarcerated parents, promoting mental health awareness. The organization seeks to nurture creativity, self-expression, and emotional well-being in these children while fostering community understanding, empathy, and awareness.
