“Nia Imani Family has been a good challenge for me—in the best way. It pushes you, but it’s the kind of push that comes from love.

If you’re willing to do what you need to do to grow, to show up for your life and your children, this is a place where you can really excel.”

“Nia Imani Family has been a good program. It has helped me grow in ways I didn’t know I needed. They have helped me face traumas that I’ve ignored. When you actually do the work, it pays off.”

“My time here at Nia Imani Family is going very well. I really enjoy our group sessions, getting to talk and express my feelings, getting to know the other women, and also learning new things. I am learning how to grow independently and be the best I can be. Some things I have accomplished are signing up to get my GED, getting a job, and getting to volunteer at the Ujamaa Resale Boutique.”
