“Cosmetology didn’t just teach me hair… it gave me purpose, confidence, and a future.
As a child of an incarcerated parent, I could have become another statistic.
Instead, at 17 years old in Dutchess B.O.C.E.S cosmetology program, I found healing behind the chair.

Today, that journey became the foundation of why I fight to help other children know they are not forgotten.”

— Cynthia Moore, Founder

✨ Board Meeting...We’re Moving Forward! ✨

We had a powerful and positive board meeting tonight as we discussed all of our upcoming community events and the impact we’re believing for this year through the Amaryllis Scholarship for Higher Learning 🌸

We are especially excited to share that we now have a student we are actively working with, helping them take the next step toward enrolling in cosmetology school in Newburgh. This is exactly why we do what we do… changing lives through opportunity 💇🏽‍♀️

As we prepare for our upcoming events to build awareness and momentum, we still have a few items needed from our Amazon Wish Lists. Every donation—big or small—helps us show up well, serve our community, and support students like this one.

If you’ve been looking for a way to give back, this is it 🙏🏽

Your support truly makes a difference.
