In this episode, we spotlight Young Ladies of Our Future (YLOOF), a Black-led social service organization dedicated to breaking cycles of violence and creating pathways to empowerment. Often, smaller organizations doing impactful work in our communities don’t receive the recognition they deserve, and we’re thrilled to shine a light on their incredible contributions.

YLOOF was founded by Katrina Brown Lee, whose inspiring journey from surviving domestic violence to becoming a community leader is nothing short of extraordinary. After being repeatedly shot by her spouse, Katrina found healing and purpose, using her experiences to interrupt cycles of violence and support young women in her community. Her story of resilience and her commitment to giving back serve as a powerful example of the transformative impact social service organizations can have.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Katrina’s journey from survival to advocacy
  • How YLOOF empowers young women to break cycles of violence and thrive
  • The importance of supporting grassroots social service organizations
