Thank you and bless you for bringing your wisdom and love to our Circle leaders this weekend. Thank you for Diamond in the Rough and lifting high young sisters. You are a powerful presenter. The information and inspiration you shared and your visionary leadership in the group-mentoring arena helped us all to better understand the terrain we are navigating. Thank you for giving yourself so generously to National Cares, Nicole. You fired our passion for the most important work of our life--securing our children. - Susan Taylor (former Essence Magazine Editor and current National Cares Founder and Director) |
You have been a positive inspiration for my daughter and myself. I thank you for everything you have given us and others. You are truly God given and we love you. - A. Green (Parent) Nicole, you are a constant reminder for me that faith without works is dead, so I keep pressing and believing in God. Don't stop inspiring others. - B. Singleton (Volunteer)
Just spending 4-weeks at Diamond University has changed my life forever. I don't know where I would be today if there was never Diamond In The Rough or the Academy.The things I've learned here I'll use the rest of my life...I learned from you how to care and love others, but most importantly to love myself. That is a gift I will never let anyone take away from me. - M. Abrams (student)
I want to say thank you so much for all you have done. Not only for me, but for all of the past, current and future girls who may be going down the wrong path. Thank you for placing me on the right path towards success. - A. Ellis (High School Student)
Ms. Nicole, I love you so much and appreciate your commitment and speaking into all our lives. You are a role model of mine and I pray for you and your family everyday. Thank you so much. - Middle School student

Do you ever feel lost, hopeless, insecure? Do you have a safe place? I didn't, but in the past eight weeks I found it. Your "Girls' Self-Esteem Group", made me realize that I am worth it. I found hope. I am beautiful. This group saved my life literally. - 9th grade High School Freshman It's amazing to see how God is really doing tremendous things in your life and you are using your gifts and talents to reach others.
