“It has been four great years of non-stop laughter, learning, and love.” – Ravynne Gilmore “The RWF has made me more diligent, competent, respectful, and strong. I feel more confident when I walk into a room.” – Olivia Bishop “The RWF has taught me that you don’t have to achieve success by yourself if you have people around you who will encourage you to soar way beyond the ends of the earth!” – Ochga Smith “RWF has taught me to be a better person and broadened my horizons. I also learned to become independent.” – Kiara Moody “As I venture out of the program and explore different paths of life, I will always remember coming in as a girl and exiting a woman – a woman who has all the intentions of leaving a humongous mark on this world.” – Ravynne Gilmore “The Foundation has helped shape me throughout the five years I have been involved. Without this experience I don’t believe I would have evolved into the person I am today. “ – Dayna White “The RWF has become a family for which I am ever grateful and has taught me rewarding skills that will travel with me throughout my life.” – Brittany Banks
