The Founders
Hi there! My name is Valerie Konate, and I’m from the beautiful town of Hazard, Kentucky. First and foremost, I love the Lord Jesus Christ,
my Savior, who guides every step of my journey. I’m married to a wonderful husband of 10 years, and together we are raising two amazing
kids—our spirited 9-year-old daughter and adventurous 6-year-old son. Being a homemaker for the past nine years has been one of my
greatest blessings, allowing me to nurture my family and pour my heart into their lives.
I have a background in nursing, having graduated from Hazard Technical and Community College, but my true passion is service—
especially to children. Kids inspire me every single day! Their creativity, curiosity, and big hearts keep me on my toes. I love hearing their
thoughts, sharing stories, and encouraging them to grow to their full potential.
At my home church, I’ve been honored to serve as a youth director, and I’m excited to mentor young girls in Charlotte, NC, as we move
forward. Crafting, playing games, and watching movies with my family are my favorite ways to unwind. My favorite quote, “Be the change
you wish to see in the world” by Gandhi, and the comforting words of Psalm 23 fuel my mission to make a difference in the lives of others.
I can’t wait to see what God has in store for the next chapter of this amazing journey!
Hello! My name is Miriam, and I am so excited to be part of this incredible journey with G.R.A.C.E. I am deeply rooted
in my faith and strive to put God first in everything I do. Family is at the heart of my life; I cherish every moment
spent with my awesome husband, our beautiful daughter, and my two adult bonus sons.
A native of Anderson, South Carolina, I pursued my education at Johnson C. Smith University, where I earned a
Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and proudly became a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. My professional
background is split between the field of Social Work and the Finance industry, specifically Residential Mortgages as
well as an Entrepeneur in the Apparel Printing Industry & Now back fulfilling that original Social Work Passion with
G.R.A.C.E.
My passion lies in motivating individuals to live authentically and become the best version of themselves. One of my
favorite scriptures, Jeremiah 29:11, reminds me daily that God’s plans for us are to prosper and give us hope. A quote
that resonates deeply with me is, “He who angers you controls you,” as it highlights the importance of self-control
and emotional strength.
Through G.R.A.C.E., I am thrilled to mentor young ladies, guiding them to embrace their true selves while fostering
good communication and emphasizing the values of respect, kindness, and honesty. I believe in creating a nurturing
and empowering environment where each girl can grow and thrive. Together, we will inspire a generation of
confident, thoughtful, and compassionate young women.
Please note there will be outings and events for the girls that will take place throughout the year. We will have
fundraisers to assist with these cost but there may be additional cost associated with these activities, you
will be notified in advance of any monies due/needed.
