As I reflect on the first six months of 2026, I'm going to be completely candid. I saw a quote on Threads the other day that spoke to my complete soul. It said, "A lot of women are tired in ways that sleep can't fix" and let me tell you… YES! The exhaustion has been real, but the fire within me that started this nonprofit continues to burn, and as a result, EverGreen Dreams continues to charge forward.
Since we first launched on October 27, 2020, EverGreen Dreams has been rooted in a bold, unwavering belief: that young Black women deserve access, opportunity, and support—not just to survive but to shine.

You have contributed so much to our success since we started on October 27, 2020 and I want to share encouraging news from the work you’ve made possible in 2024!
We would like to thank all of you for being a part of the efforts to alleviate or minimize financial hardships for the recipients of the Building Opportunities for Sistas to Shine (B.O.S.S.) Scholarship.
