About Us
The DIVA Effect, Inc, is a community organization preparing women and young girls (ages 8-12) to be agents of change in their own communities. Our network of local businesses, community and faith based organizations, and other community leaders and stakeholders combine resources to help strengthen both women and young girls by providing them with solutions to improve their lives and strengthen their communities. DIVA Dolls, our youth program for girls, and CROWN, our personal development program for women in under served areas, are two of our signature community programs. Both programs use a holistic approach to address the needs of our participants and focuses on physical health, mental and emotional wellness, and servant leadership.

DIVA Dolls
The DIVA Dolls is our youth program for girls that provides them with solutions to develop healthy habits that will later lead to a healthy lifestyle as an adult. This healthy lifestyle program for young girls takes place during the school year. Our program also includes informative and engaging parent workshops that offer further solutions for parents as they aid their daughter in developing and maintaining healthy habits.

Through collaboration, partnerships and our network of entrepreneurs, professionals, and community stake holders and leaders, CROWN educates and provides access to resources on topics such as physical health, mental and emotional wellness, relationship wellness, workforce development, financial literacy, continuing education, parenting, voter education and empowerment, entrepreneurship, and more! We help strengthen our communities by first strengthening our women!
What is the "DIVA Effect"?
The butterfly effect is the concept that a very small change in initial conditions can have large effects elsewhere. The DIVA Effect is the concept that a woman or girl who's healthy and whole in mind, body, and spirit can leave a lasting impact in her community.
We believe that when a woman or girl is strengthened mentally, physically and spiritually, her environment changes--this includes her life, family, and yes, even her community. When we holistically unlock the DIVA within, we can help change the narrative of our own communities.
