Kelly is a community advocate with a heart for service, the sharing of ideas, and the generosity of love and time. She seeks to empower and uplift young women, helping them see their own gifts, power, and abilities, and to become more than whatever systems or circumstances have tried to oppress them. She believes young women have free will, a heart, a mind, and a soul—and the ability to choose good and do great things. She wants them to know they are world changers.

She is also the founder of Nails and Beloved Ministries, a faith-based initiative that uses beauty services as a tool to uplift, encourage, build confidence, and restore dignity through humble service and words of encouragement.

Through Seeds4Hope, she hopes to impact young women by being a voice of encouragement, reminding them that they are capable, valuable, and not alone. She wants to help them build confidence, discover their strengths, and trust that their stories—no matter where they start—can lead to purpose and growth.

"The mission of Seeds4Hope aligns closely with my own calling to plant seeds of hope, confidence, and resilience that continue to grow long after the program ends. I want to be part of a mission greater than myself. I want my being, my gifts, my empowerment, and my encouragement to be used to change the lives of others for the better. I value humanity, dignity, and the soul within each and every person.

I was inspired to volunteer with Seeds4Hope because of its heart for nurturing, guiding, and empowering young women during such a formative season of life—young women I personally see as the Moana’s of their families and communities. They carry courage, responsibility, and a deep inner knowing that they are meant for more and called to do greater things. Seeds4Hope believes in that courage and helps them gain the confidence, tools, and support needed to reach their ambitions.

I am drawn to Seeds4Hope because they saw a need and moved with compassion, confident that change is possible. With the right guidance, perspective, and lens, even one seed of hope can create a ripple effect—impacting not only the lives of these young women, but generations to come."

Kelly deeply values authenticity, faith, compassion, and creating safe spaces where young women feel seen, supported, and confident in who they are. She cares about helping women recognize their worth, grow in purpose, and step boldly into the future God has for them.
