     Event Coordinator St. Anne's School

 It's so hard to put into words all that Ms. Monroe has done for our girls. The girls always find it hard to leave her after every workshop. She expresses her love and knowledge on a level of relatability to the girls, and they see the genuity in all of her guidance. She has taught the girls how to express themselves in a more positive way, better their grades, build their self-esteem and teach them how to be confident in who they are, and not hold on to past mistakes. She is a therapist, a friend, and a mother figure. to these girls. We need more women like her.

Having Ms. Monroe in our school teaching our young girls has made such an impact, and we are so honored to have her at Orville Wright Middle School. She truly has a way with young girls where they are drawn to her and applies all she teaches because they feel the sincerity coming from her. She is able to really relate to the girls, and they don't look at her like a teacher but an advocate of love and empowerment on their behalf. Every school should have her program.

Keyonna is not only an educated woman, mother, and entrepreneur, but she has dedicated her passion to sharing her personal trials and adversities to young girls to give them hope. She is an amazing example and her organization has programs that are not only desired but highly needed to empower these young girls. She gives them guidance, love, and encourages them with consistency every step of the way.  This is definitely a program you'd want your daughter in, and we are so happy to be working with her at the Titus Parenting Organization.
