Wow, please have a Kleenex ready for this one. Turquoise Martin and Naquasia Pollard are two women on fire, but, who have also survived the fire.
Both are a part of the College and Community Fellowship advocacy training program. Naquasia served a 15 years sentence starting at the age of 19, and Turquoise was in and out of the foster care system since the age of five.
There is so much hope in these two ladies, and we hope you pay more than the usual attention to the girls and women in your circle.
