Our Foundation
Royal Hearts Foundation of America was born from my lived experience and my commitment to ensure that no child feels unseen, unheard, or unsupported.
At the age of five, I experienced sexual abuse, and before the age of twelve, I endured repeated violations of my safety and trust. Those early years were marked by confusion, silence, and pain. For a long time, I believed justice meant punishment, and I once planned to become an attorney to hold perpetrators accountable.
However, during my second year of college, an internship at a clinic changed the trajectory of my life. I discovered that my calling was not only to pursue justice in a courtroom, but to help people heal from trauma. I changed my major to Psychology and committed myself to understanding the brain, behavior, and the healing process.
After earning my degree and later completing two Master’s degrees from Liberty University, I began working with children facing behavioral challenges and adults living with mental illness. Over time, I encountered countless young girls who had experienced abuse in their homes. What troubled me deeply was that many of them received little guidance, follow-up, or support from the systems designed to protect them.
I realized that survivors are often retraumatized — not only by what happened to them, but by the silence and inaction that follows. I also recognized that many parents, carrying their own unresolved trauma, feel unprepared to protect their children. Prevention requires awareness, education, and courage.
From that conviction, Royal Hearts Foundation of America was born.
Today, I dedicate my life to training communities to prevent abuse, advocating for survivors, equipping parents with protective tools, and helping victims move from trauma to purpose. What was once a source of pain has become the foundation of my mission: to ensure that healing is possible, protection is proactive, and survivors know they are not alone.

"I can't say enough about the outstanding service I received from your company. Their team wen"Working with her changed the entire direction of my life. She helped me recognize that what I had experienced wasn’t just hardship — it was trafficking. That realization began my healing journey. Because of her guidance and belief in me, I found my voice and now share my story to help others around the world. She didn’t just support me — she helped me discover my purpose."t above and beyond to meet our needs and exceeded our expectations."
Shametria
"Before I met her, I felt like I was constantly fighting systems that were designed to ignore me. I was angry, frustrated, and honestly getting myself removed from meetings because I didn’t know how to advocate effectively. She taught me how to fight the system strategically — how to use my voice in a way that created change instead of conflict. Because of her, doors opened that had always been closed to me."
Nita
"She saw strength in me when I couldn’t see it in myself. During one of the most unstable times in my life, she helped me create a plan, set boundaries, and believe that stability was possible. Her support went beyond services — she genuinely cared about my future. I am in a completely different place today because she took the time to invest in me as a person."
