Flourish 2025

Joy Ignited!

We are so thankful to the wonderful women who attended our inaugural Flourish Empowerment Luncheon for Women! Because of YOU, we raised over $225,000 dollars! 
Your support provides Agape women and girls: 
College scholarships 
STEM programming 
Empowerment workshops for Agape moms

We heard firsthand about the impact of your support when Agape and Spelman alumna Knoketta Ibidapo Obe shared her powerful story. Despite her humble beginnings, she has built a thriving career in law management. We were proud to support her flourishing future by seeding her ROTH IRA. 

We were inspired by our motivational speaker, Helen Mitchell, who reminded us to take time to ignite our joy and to be intentional about making space for joy in our lives, no matter the circumstances. 

We awarded Agape alumna Stephanie G. the Susan Cimbalo Monarch Award, celebrating Stephanie's achievements this year, graduating from Georgia State University and securing a permanent position with a prestigious financial firm! 

We were also moved by Allison Hill, whose dedication through her Heart of the Home Initiative has helped Agape families feel the comfort of home. We honored her with the Woman of Distinction Award for her continued commitment to Agape.
