A Day of Healing, Restoration, and Transformation!

The upcoming DIVA Project outreach event in October culminates the 11-year anniversary of the DIVA Project – healing, restoring, and transforming the lives of women victims of domestic violence – changing the world, one diva at a time. 
Since 2004, the DIVA Project has partnered with local transitional facilities in Baltimore, Maryland mainly House of Ruth, Maryland life Crisis Centre to provide victims of domestic violence wellness services, workshops, and counseling centered on restoring beauty from the inside out. Over the years, participants have received hair and beauty services to uplift them on the outside and heard from guest speakers who shared information and resources to uplift participants on the inside. As with past outreach events, this final DIVA Project of 2015 will deliver services and resources for the mind, body, and spirit.

The success of the last 10 years of serving Baltimore with this outreach has been made possible by the many business sponsors, community leaders, and local supporters of the DIVA Project, including beauty experts, motivational speakers, and a host of volunteers. 
The upcoming outreach will take place on Sunday, October 25, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at The Union Mill, 1500 Union Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21211. Donations to support this outreach are welcomed, and local media is encouraged to cover this event. 
The DIVA Project is the vision of entrepreneur and philanthropist, Cindy Tawiah, who is committed to promoting whole body wellness through her business and outreach efforts. Ms. Tawiah is passionate about wellness and empowering women of all walks of life and seeks to expand the DIVA Project model to other major U.S. cities. 
To continue this work and expand beyond Baltimore, the DIVA Project needs major support. Join the effort! Help break the chains that imprison victims of domestic violence and help begin the healing. We need widespread attention and awareness on the domestic violence epidemic and the perils that victims of domestic violence face. The DIVA Project encourages business sponsors, supporters, and volunteers to give to this worthy cause and help us bring this outreach to your city.

Angelia Robinson- Official Music Video for Who R U?


 

Inspirational Recording Artist, Angelia Robinson, who is a spokesperson for the Diva By Cindy Brand as well as a Sunshine Promises Board Member really put her hands to the work on this day. Her music video "Who R U?" which touches the issue of being judged based on your past has been changing the lives of millions since its' debut. It was only fitting that it become a part of this very special day in order to bring even more empowerment to these women, many of whom have had their self-worth stripped from them. "I have worked in the human services field for over 20 years and at My Sister's Place Lodge for 9 years. I can say, I have never been to an event that did not parade the mentally challenged, the mentally ill, or the homeless; as these poor people let us help them. No one felt demeaned, talked down to, glared at, or pointed at because the circumstances of their lives lead them to where they are now. The greatest gift the ladies feel they received was being special and being loved; being loved unconditionally. " says Linda Day, Staff Coordinator at The Sisters Place Lodge of the feedback from the 1st Diva Project. We intend to keep this very same spirit with every Diva Project.

I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to read about and even consider supporting my vision to help women. This is my passion but I could never make it happen alone. God may be my source but he puts his people in position to help execute HIS purpose and plan for all of our lives.

 

Love and light,

 

Cindy

The Diva Project interview with Cindy Tawiah

THE VISION



The Daughter of Diplomats, Cindy Tawiah, was born and raised in Ghana, West Africa. Pushed to pursue a career in medicine by her family, Cindy got her first taste of manufacturing when a chemistry teacher gave her a helping hand for a project. "He said, 'I'd like to teach you a practical application; I want to show you how to make lipstick and nail polish.' " It was then that the beauty seed was planted. Before that seed could grow Cindy, followed her parents' wishes and went on to receive a Bachelors degree and career in nursing. Still, something was missing in Cindy's life. "I was disillusioned, depressed. I prayed for a sign. If someone upsets today, it's a sign for me to leave, I wanted to leave and open up a hair salon." That morning as Cindy, went about her duties. She saw that sign, and immediately drafted her resignation letter. But the path to Cindy's dream wasn't easy. With no formal training or experience Cindy, set out to open her first salon. She was turned away from several different banks and multiple rental properties, but she persevered. Cindy, finally found someone who was willing to take a chance on her. In February of 2004, she began reaching out to victims of domestic violence in an effort to renew their sense of self-worth and self-esteem. Partnering with two local shelters, Cindy brought 40 women to her salon, where they received new winter coats (thanks to donations from community), a home-cooked meal and a full day of beauty, complete with facials, hairstyles and manicures. Cindy felt satisfied with the direction in which her life was headed, but at the end of 2006 she noticed she had quite a turnover rate in her salon. Unsure of what to do, she turned to her friend for advice. "He said, 'You need to find your purpose' and I thought "what is he talking about?" My passion is women and beauty. My purpose," I thought was my passion was beauty products. In February of 2007, Cindy, put together a plan of action. She wanted to create a line that was natural and alcohol free. That's when the Diva By Cindy, hair-care line was born. "I wanted them to be products of integrity, something I would use and stand by, something that would empower women; Hence the name, 'Diva.' "
