My name is Curtavia, I am a single mother of two who migrated from Florida to Washington at a young age. Throughout my journey, I have experienced firsthand the challenges of addiction, homelessness, and domestic violence. These experiences, while painful, have fueled my passion to advocate for other women and mothers facing the same barriers. Today, I am committed to creating a community and mentorship network that empowers mothers to overcome hardship, access resources, and build stronger, more stable futures for themselves and their children. My lived experience allows me to connect with others on a deeper level and lead with empathy, resilience, and purpose.

My name is Sidney Spencer-Mylet, I am an artist and mental health professional in the Seattle area with a passion for community work. I have firsthand experience with housing instability which drives my passion for community outreach. My aim is to create more solid pathways for mutual aid for our homeless communities, which includes addressing the systemic issues which lead to financial instability.
