Meet Janine
Up until May 2017, I had been employed for over 12 years with the federal government, and then, through no fault of my own, I was fired. After losing a six figure salary, personal and business accounts & assets, including major support from both family and friends…, I was then reminded of a vision I had a couple months prior, where God spoke clearly to me saying:
If you take care of my people, I will take care of you.
This Inspired Janine to continue pursuing her Doctoral Program and Business ventures so that she could give back to her community.
