Saturday, July 20th, was not an unusual day for Diamond Diva Empowerment Foundation, this circle of public spirted givers are always out in the St. Louis community doing the greater good. Whether it is feeding the community, passing out necessities for activity of daily living, or assisting with domestic violence awareness. Diamond Diva Empowerment are definitely right with the community.

Our sister organization Argus Community Foundation, was on hand to gather supplies to distribute as well, and on the media side, had the opportunity to chat with Brandy the founder. She stated that this is just a small factor in all that they do for the community. And she wouldn’t change anything in her efforts. She is also the most humbling person that you could ever meet.

The pallets consisted of hand sanitizers, mouth wash, home supplies, clothing and food items. These are everyday things that means so much to those in need.

Furthermore, Diamond Diva Empowerment Foundation is not here to judge, but help the community live better. Therefore, with organizations like this, working with other organizations in the area, things can get done with ease down the pipeline.

In addition, I am saying this, because I have witness several organizations right in my own neighborhood, who have withstand working with another non-profit, for some reason or another. Sadly, it had to be mentioned, but it is true.

Pathways to Brightness Program, is a Domestic Violence Assistance initiative that Diamond Diva’s use to help those who have experienced traumatic issues with their intimate partners. There is Pathway to Housing, Healing and Brightness, geared to assist men and women.

ORGANIZATIONAL SUMMARY 

Diamond Diva Empowerment Foundation (2DEF) is a nonprofit 501©3 organization dedicated to educating, strengthening, and empowering women and children affected by domestic violence and various socio-economic conditions. These conditions limit them from gaining and maintaining self-sufficiency which prevents them from being successful and impacting members of our community. Our programs and services answer the call by providing housing placement, rental assistance, trauma relief counseling, literacy education, prevention, safety planning and connections to other viable community resources.

Diamond Diva Empowerment Foundation along with the Aldermanic Board of Saint Louis and Congresswoman Cori Bush acknowledges that Domestic Violence has become an internal epidemic in the middle of a pandemic. Missouri has the third-highest rate of people who have experienced domestic violence. About 41.8% of Missouri women and 35.2% of men experience intimate partner physical violence, sexual violence, or stalking. In 2018, Missouri had 45,548 reported domestic violence incidents, a 10.3% increase from 2014. In 2020, domestic violence cases increased to over 200% in certain regions due to COVID lockdowns.

During this year’s campaign, our goal is to raise $500,000 to aid women and children with adequate housing and to provide 2500 Love Packages™ to local domestic violence shelters and safe houses. The tremendous support of volunteers and generous donations from our sponsors in the past, has enabled us to meet our goals each year. However, this year we have extended our reach, as we have increased our goal to match the increase in need. Your donation and participation in this campaign would not only be a tremendous honor, but it would also help us to raise a national awareness to domestic violence.

As an agency, we are committed to rebuilding the core of the family unit, while encouraging each survivor to focus on their strengths and well-being. It is our hope that by providing financial literacy classes, support groups, personal development courses, and mental health counseling, we can inspire, uplift, and empower the women that we serve.
