Family Links Consulting Group, LLC

I am so passionate about the safety and well-being of children and families that I have dedicated the last 30 years of my life to this cause. My passion for this type of service stems from my own experiences being raised in a single-parent home by a mother, who at the age of 35 was widowed with 5 young children to raise. I understand how bleak circumstances can be overcome with the infinite power

of love, hope, trust and help from caring others. It truly amazed me then, and continues to do so even to this day, how my mother and a community of non-judging family and friends made growing up in the projects in South Carolina feel like growing up in the opulence of the Taj Mahal. The circumstances in which I was born, by all accounts, should have consumed me, and many expected just that outcome. However, because I was blessed to have consistent, caring, spiritual and God-fearing role models, mentors and individuals possessing immeasurable sage (who shared it constantly), I was afforded a “rite of passage” per se that defied and transcended my “then” reality. I have always known that one day I would be blessed to start my own consulting company. To have done less would have disappointed those giants who counseled, invested and allowed me to stand on their shoulders while my own were maturing. Now that my shoulders have matured, I want to use them to help and instill hope in the lives of troubled, disenfranchised, disengaging and disillusioned families who are being impacted by unidentified/unaddressed trauma and unhealthy decision-making. It is my earnest hope that my work individually and collaboratively will continue to promote family stability, sustainability and self-sufficiency so that children may grow in stable environments where safety and security are never compromised. Our lives, our legacies, our quality life, our well-being and our societal self-esteem depend on our ability to meet people where they are in our pursuit to salvage human potential.
