​

Della Marie created the Embracing, Educating, and Empowering Black Children, Adults, Families, and Professionals program because she had to do something to restore Black people back to greatness.  Della Marie is a single mother of a 26-year-old son and believes that it is her duty and responsibility to foster change.  Many people discuss problems; however, never become a part of the solution.  Della Marie's program is solution focused and creates change through education and action.  The Embracing, Educating, and Empowering Black Children, Adults, Families, and Professionals program provides valuable information and tools to help build resilience.

Please note that sessions are tailored to each individual or group to best meet the needs of the child or children, adult or adults, family, or professional/small group.
