What a VF Diamond Looks Like

A VF Diamond is worth more than her current situation or environment. She wants more for her life, but doesn't quite know how to get there. She's driven. She has a good heart & knows she's called to do more. She never quits, but isn't quite sure how to shine, fully. She's more than a statistic. She's not defined by the class status of her family. She knows failure and poverty is not an option. She's worth more. She's a Diamond.

Still have questions about Values First or the Values First Diamond Program? 

I grew up poor, without a steady father figure in my life, in a single parent household, & with a poverty mindset. I was an at-risk youth.

I knew I wanted to do amazing things, but I had no clue how to get there. I also grew up with very little access to mentors, from another class. I had a ton of indicators working against me. I should have ended up on welfare & on drugs.

I didn’t. Failure & poverty were NOT an option. I made it out.

I am fiercely passionate about giving other at-risk youth, hope. Hope for a better life- a life I’ve found. That’s why I’ve created the VF Diamond Program. It’s free and accessible. It’s a landing platform, with all the personal awareness and empowering self-worth tools in one place.

I thought of everything that helped me become the person I am today and I put it all in one place. Most of the content is mine, but some are links to other websites.

A portion of every purchase in the VF Store goes to help fund continual content for our Diamonds. To reach and work with more schools & non-profits. I want every young lady to know how truly unique they are and how worthy they are, of a great life. They’re worth more. They are Diamonds.
