TESTIMONIALS

I began attending It’s Yes! since the opening, however, I’ve been working with Mrs. Sweetie since I was in the 3rd grade.  I am now beginning my junior year in college. I am a volleyball student athlete at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville. I am majoring in Business Management. Ever since I began working with Mrs. Sweetie and the It’s Yes! Program, it had opened up so many opportunities to grow as a person and as a lady. One of the first things we always did when starting school was repeating our motto: “I’m going to college..” I didn’t understand the importance of saying these things every day and repeating them but now I understand that I was speaking them into existence. Now here I am.  Along with that were the events and performances we had done. Those allowed me to learn about many important life situations that I would’ve never learn in school, for example, when we performed the play on human trafficking. That was a very important thing for me to learn as a female in one of the largest human trafficking cities in the US.  I was also able to learn how to get on a stage and perform, speak and meet people. I was able to get out of my comfort zone at a young age and am now able to network and speak in front of others with ease. With all of these things, the best part about Its Yes! and the program was the support system. Beautiful, strong women who looked like me that always pushed me and wanted me to succeed.  Always checking on me, even as I got older and had to begin other endeavors such as college and always keeping me in their prayers.  I am so thankful for those women and this program.  I wouldn’t be the person I am today without them.
