About Us
We focus intentionally on underserved communities within the African American diaspora, underserved communities and faith-based settings, where silence has too often overshadowed suffering. Through culturally responsive education, empowerment, and advocacy, we are engaging new allies, advocates, and ambassadors in the plight of domestic violence. Together, we are building a community of healing, dignity, and resilience where every life has value and every voice is heard.
Who We Are
Destiny By Choice, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization whose primary mission is to empower lives and foster healing, to those individuals and families affected by domestic violence and other social related ills that disproportionately impacts the underserved and African American Communities. Although we fully acknowledge that domestic violence does not discriminate and crosses every socio-economic, ethnic and racial line; research has shown that domestic violent disproportionately effects black females nearly 35% greater than white females. Because time and research has both proven that the mainstream “One size fits all” approach to addressing domestic violence does not consider or suffice for African Americans, who disproportionately experience stressors that can create conditions that leads to violence in the home.
DBC is committed to raising the community consciousness about the prevalent impact of domestic violence in the African American Community. Our initiatives are to (1) Educate (2) Empower (3) Engage and (4) Advocacy from a holistic approach encompassing both the conventional and faith based approaches acknowledging how inextricably tied the victim is to his/her understanding of their faith.
What We Do
At Destiny By Choice, Inc., we are dedicated to prevention, intervention, and restoration. We deliver a broad range of seminars, symposiums, summits, and trainings designed to equip and empower neighborhood organizations, corporations, schools, support groups, and faith communities.
Our targeted programs reach across generations and sectors serving youth, educators, law enforcement, healthcare professionals, Greek-letter organizations, and faith-based leaders. Each initiative is grounded in cultural competence, always prioritizing safety, dignity, and the path to healing.
In addition to education and training, we connect individuals and families to support groups, job readiness resources, re-establishment opportunities, and community services that promote long-term stability and healing.
Destiny By Choice, Inc. uniquely bridges the gap between survivors, faith communities, social services, law enforcement, and the judicial system. We provide both prevention and intervention services including accountability sessions for individuals who self-identify as abusers or who are mandated by courts or places of worship to break cycles of harm and foster lasting transformation.
