Hi Im Latrice, a former member of the Project Virtue group. This was of the best groups I have ever been in. Everything was about love,positivity and purpose. Im still using things I learned here in everyday life such as etiquette, manners, respecting yourself and others, helping others, etc.

Faith, Former PV Member

Being apart of ladies choice created a sense of awareness that I have carried with me throughout my life. From learning how to overcome the dangers teens face in the world everyday, all the way to how to create a resume in preparation for an interview.  The information I was able to absorb are things I have educated my own children on and eventually their children. The program created a safe zone for my peers and I to discuss those topics that many feel uncomfortable discussing with most adults. Being affiliated with such an uplifting and positive group is something many could benefit from. Those who feel they have no one in their corner, those who may be heading down the wrong path, or simply one who just needs some type of guidance. I would definitely recommend being apart of something as powerful as Lady's Choice. I am forever grateful for the bonds I created as well as the barriers I’ve been able to tare down because of Lady's

Choice!

Carolyn, Former PV Member

My name is Carolyn Adams and I am now a 32 year old woman that was once apart of “ ladies choice “. I was in high school when I joined and it was one of the best decisions I made in life . The founder Helen  provided us with so many opportunities that I never saw my self having such as , an etiquette class, planned parenthood classes( not like the boring generic  ones in high school ). While apart of ladies choice I was also given the opportunity to view the body of Coretta Scott King . I will be honest at that time I didn’t appreciate it lol, but now I’m thankful for that opportunity. I also met some amazing girls whom I now call my sisters . Ladies choice was a weekly get away from all that was going on and a night to let your hair down safely and have fun with other young ladies , but it was also full of learning opportunities and experiences.
