Her Story
Divas Build Futures Inc.was founded October14, 2014 in Victorville California by Ms.Asha Scott.
Beginning the program with just 3 girls, Ms. Scott began mentoring on confidence, self-esteem & etiquette out of her apartment. As a single mother she began to walk in her purpose by helping girls locally with self esteem, clothing and mentoring. Helping girls & young ladies with needs such as hygiene items and connecting them with community resources.
Grabbing the attention of more young ladies in the community, she was often seen taking daily trips to the library with girls supporting them with researching college and career options. Being a mother figure for girls seeking guidance showing compassion and understanding to them when needed.
In October of 2014, Ms. Scott was bless to incorporate Divas Build Futures Inc as a Nonprofit organization. It began as a safe space for mentoring, and empowerment for girls. She was awarded the volunteer of the year by the CITY of Voctorville when recognized by a community librarian of her work in the community.
