Serving the Community

Elisa Stampf worked in insurance for over 10 years before she had an instance of harassment that pushed her resilience to the limit. Rather than giving up, she co-founded a nonprofit to advocate for an industry that values and empowers a workforce diverse in gender, race, sexual orientation, and economic status. Seizing a moment that is ripe for change, the Insure Equality team creates tools for transparency, accountability, and systemic change.

Steve enjoys work most when he is helping those around him become successful in their roles.

More about RP-1, Texas founder, Jeremy Robinson

I’m a veteran of both Afghanistan and Iraq. I was both a Cav Scout and an Infantryman. Nowadays, I’m a husband, a father, and I suppose a lot of people just call me a cowboy. But in the 13 years between leaving the military and becoming a father, I experienced much of what many of our peers have been facing since separation.

We all know at least one veteran who has failed to thrive in the civilian world.
We've all seen the rising suicide rates, with many of us losing close friends along the way.

And if it's not that, it's guys living as dangerously as they can until they leave the world on their own terms. Funerals for so many friends along the way. And it's a wonder many of us are still here.

I bore witness to veterans making it big, achieving huge successes in their fields, while others couldn't figure out which way to turn on a circular track.
And I've watched, along with everyone else, as the charts that document our homelessness rates pop up and down like an EKG for long enough. It's time for us to start looking out for one another.

Dominique Cousin Short Personal Biography:

I'm a small business owner with my husband, In House Chefs, and I have 2 children (11 & 7). I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis where I lost majority of my bodily functions within a matter of months. I found myself in a wheelchair, or bedridden most days.

I demonstrated 30 out of 31 symptoms and was in bad shape; mentally, spiritually, and definitely physically. This turned my life upside down but through my husband, friends and my community with their connections, I was able to reverse my symptoms. By drastically changing my diet and lifestyle I am able to live a normal life, playing with my kids and doing normal life things again.

The Phoenix Journey provides access to resources and providers for those who suffer from autoimmune diseases. We also give coaching and accountability to those that need it regarding staying the course on their optimal health journey.

More About MJ

As a Texan, wife, mother, and successful entrepreneur, MJ has a big heart for her family and community. After almost 20 years in marketing, project management, and entrepreneurship, MJ channeled her wide breadth of industry experience and shared her passion for helping women. When MJ lost her twin daughter, Desiree, at birth, the reality of not having the proper support from family, friends, and the community around her was devastating. She not only lacked guidance when being released from the hospital, but she did not know how much she truly needed mental, spiritual, and physical healing. This traumatic event prompted her to start Little Angel Network later. She is passionate about helping women during one of the darkest times of their life, and she vows to be the light and support to women worldwide.

 We provide grief care packages to hospitals and birthing centers to provide to families who have lost a child during pregnancy or birth. Our aim is to bridge the gap with after-hospital care for women and families to receive professional counseling, spiritual support, and physical and nutrition guidance.

About Dave

I was raised in Sacramento, California, then attended UCLA (BA degree in 1992), and Fuller Theological Seminary (MA degree in 1997). Upon completing grad school in 1997 I took a position with a faith-based non-profit organization, Servant Partners, which focuses on community building and poverty alleviation both in the USA and internationally. I worked for Servant Partners for 22 years, until 2019. For seven of those years, I lived and worked internationally in India and in Bangladesh.
In 2019 I transitioned to Speak Up for the Poor (which is also a non-profit organization but is not a religious or faith-based org). For the past four years I have served as Director of Development with Speak Up. I help to raise awareness of and funds for Speak Up's Girls Education Program in Bangladesh, which helps girls from impoverished backgrounds who are vulnerable to child marriage (and in some cases child trafficking) to stay in school through college graduation.
I have been married for 19 years to my wife Mini (20th anniversary coming up this April!), and we have two daughters, Lily (age 16) and Emily (age 14). We have lived in Long Beach, CA for the past 16 years.

About Speak Up

In Speak Up we have a sponsorship model which allows anyone who wishes to get involved and partner with us in educating and empowering vulnerable girls. The average cost for a girl or young woman to participate in the GEP is $40 per month. (This covers school fees, school uniform, books and materials, daily after school tutoring and mentoring from our staff, and monthly grade-level trainings on life skills and professional skills. For young women in college, there is also an opportunity to live in our college dormitory, which provides room and board in the city, in close proximity to local colleges and nursing schools, while young women in the GEP pursue their higher education.) Those who wish to partner with us can either contribute any amount toward our overall work, or they can sign up to sponsor a specific girl in the GEP for $40 per month. Sponsors receive specific information and updates about the girl they are sponsoring (her name, photos of her, her grade in school, birthdate, her "dream" of what she would like to become through her education, etc.). Sponsors also receive letters from their sponsored girl, and can write letters and send photos back to her, to build a personal connection.

Those interested in contributing or sponsoring can do so on our website at

The Veterans Ranch
Our mission is to assist Veterans and their families through Equine Therapy, a range of treatments that involve activities with horses to promote human physical and mental health. We assist these great Americans and their families in laying down heavy coats of burden and walk away as newer and improved versions of themselves.

J.R. Smith VP and COO of The Veterans Ranch
J.R. has always had a love for horses and Veterans. His Father, Uncle, Grandfather, are all Veterans. J.R. also had a lot of friend that went to the first Gulf War right out of high school in 1991. So, he has a strong appreciation for the sacrifices that are made to protect our freedoms. This is why The Veterans Ranch was founded in 2017 so Veterans and their families can get the assistance that they need, and lay down that heavy coat of burden and walk forward as a new and improved version of themselves. J.R. calls horses God’s majestic animal. They can feel a gnat land on their back, so they know everything about you from two feet away. They are just amazing.
