Meet The Founder

I created Swing High Foundation because I was a teen mom in the City of Chicago with minimal support. I understand firsthand the challenges that arise being a teenage mother. There are limited opportunities and options when someone does not have basic life skills and general education. I believe in a life of service. It is very important to me that we provide a safe space where young people can be uplifted and free from judgement. I have learned how balance, time management, and accountability for one’s actions are essential qualities for your life. It is my goal to impart these tools into our youth so that they can become progressive, thriving members of society.
