Created in 1989 by Dr. JoAnn Ajayi-Scott, her twin sister, Margie Ramsey and 21 other ladies, Essence of a Lady, Inc. recruits professional and entrepreneurial women to help educate, mentor, and empower school-age girls. Although they have had the support of over 400 women to support over 100 youth, they have been the backbone of Essence of a Lady for over 32 years.
Its two signature programs were established in 2007. Essence Ladies (aka E'Ladies) are women 20 years old and up and Young Essence Ladies...Learning (aka YELL!)are girls 6-19 years old. Essential Men's (E'Men's) Network are men 20 years old and up and Young Men Empowered (Y-ME?) was re-launched in January 2021 . |
