I am Women’s Bean Project: Tameka

Hello, my name is Tameka. I first started at Women’s Bean Project on March 3,2022 and what I love about the Bean is all of the support and meeting all these kind women and really being able to work on myself.

It changed my life in so many ways. I’m proud of the person that I became. And all support here is really amazing. I really have learned a lot from this program and I just want to thank every single last person at the Women’s Bean Project for all the support and the dedication in helping through this whole process. I have really enjoyed working with all of you beautiful people.

It’s been a really, really, really, really long journey. At the beginning of the program I lost one of my older sisters, and it took a lot for me to keep pushing, to keep coming in, to keep getting up in the morning. It’s been very difficult for me but…I did it. I did it! And to every single woman who works here, the staff included, everybody, for helping me get through my journey and for helping me calm down through all these panic attacks that I was having and everything else, I’m just… The loving environment here is the perfect place to start your new journey.

My goals after I graduate: I really have a passion for helping elderly people and animals, so being a care giver.
