Wezesha Dada Center changed my life. When I joined their entrepreneurship program, I had big dreams but no idea where to start. Through their guidance and support, I was able to launch my own small business. The mentorship I received gave me the confidence and skills to pursue my passion. I’m so grateful to WDC for believing in me and helping me turn my dreams into reality.

Before I connected with Wezesha Dada Center, I struggled with finding direction and confidence. The leadership and workforce development workshops helped me discover my strengths and gave me the tools I needed to succeed. Now, I’m pursuing a career in technology and feel more empowered than ever. WDC has been a true blessing in my life.

I always knew I wanted to make a difference, but I didn’t know how. WDC’s community building programs introduced me to amazing women who have become mentors and friends. They showed me that my voice matters and that I can be a leader in my community. Thanks to WDC, I’m now more confident and ready to take on any challenge.
