Meet Our Founder
Alexandra Ingram, MSW
Alexandra’s fire was ignited while studying Psychology at Kutztown University in 2011, where she began to identify her purpose in leading others and fighting for causes bigger than herself through her involvement in various student activities. Ms. Ingram continued onto higher education, by earning her Master’s of Social Work degree in 2013. Since Graduate School, Alexandra has served with City Year (Americorps) in Miami, FL, helped rebuild homes in New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina, and served on a missions team to build a home for an impoverished family in Nicaragua.

Ms. Ingram lives her life by this quote: “Lead, follow, or get out of the way.” If you cannot take the initiative or ask where help is needed and follow suit. Then, move aside so the right people can get the job done! Ms. Ingram is passionate about empowering our young ladies to be the best version of themselves without the confinement of societal standards and expectations of womanhood. Girls will enhance professional development, service their community, and practice healthy living in order to navigate through life in a distinct way!
