Watching my mom start her journey as a young entrepreneur open the first 24 hour childcare center in 1984, in Atlanta, taught me so much when it comes to being resilient and walking in faith!!"

Porsha went on to add, "She went on to become one of the most successful early learning center owners and care for hundreds of children before I later retired her early in 2018! Over the years my mother has become my best friend and my biggest supporter! Thank you for all you have done in helping me with our pooh Pilar!
