Our Founder
My name is Iyonna Dennis, BSW and I am a Child Advocate. Growing up, I have always had a passion and heart for helping people. As I grew older, my heart grew bigger for helping our children who feel unheard. This led me to pursue and earn my degree in Social Work at the illustrious HBCU, Benedict College in Columbia, SC, believe that social work isn’t a profession that I simply chose, but it was a gift that was instilled in me since birth.
My commitment to being a Child Advocate is to equip children and young adults that feel like there’s no hope to overcome life’s challenges and help their voices be heard. Most importantly, I will advocate for our children all across the world.”
Remember, your voice matters even if you feel like the world is too loud, and no one is listening!

What is Child Advocate?
Child Advocate means to be the voice for our unheard youth. Someone who is all in to protect our children and desires to equip them to ensure they have a brighter future. I choose to be a child advocate because if I don’t speak for our youth, who will? I want our youth in today’s society to know that they are not alone and that their voice matters.
