Changed Lives, change lives
RUBIES mission is to reach at-risk girls through education and mentoring to prevent them from becoming victims of abuse, exploitation, and sex trafficking while restoring those who have been affected by unimaginable trauma.
RUBIES, Rare Unique Beautiful Intelligent Excelling Sisters, is for our girls - to learn, grow, and develop into responsible young ladies, being accountable for their actions. Since 2016, RUBIES has provided a safe atmosphere where girls can be vulnerable while engaging in discussion that surround real world issues.
Through RUBIES’ programs, our girls are educated on the danger and trauma associated with sex trafficking including how to identify traffickers and grooming patterns in their lives and the lives of their peers. They are taught social media boundaries, self protection, how to build healthy friendships, safe dating, vocational skills, and more! All our programs set standards by way of self-control, self-respect, and self-awareness that generate wholesome habits that will last a lifetime
April's Bio:
A Milwaukee native learned the twisted art of the streets at an early age. Her soulstirring testimony started in 1997 as God shed light on her dark past, her shady present and her glorious future. April was delivered from a crippling lifestyle designed to destroy her destiny. A victim of child sex trafficking, the once drug and alcohol addicted call girl is now a free agent for Christ.
April has devoted the last seventeen years of her life to bridging the gaps in the community of women and girls by way of empowerment and street knowledge. Her motto is this; “It’s not what they are taught, it’s what they learn that makes the difference.” In 2016 April launched Rubies a non-profit organization focused on education and prevention of trafficking through shaping character and culture. As Founder and Executive Director, April works passionately to inspire women of all ages to be the very best they can be beginning right where they are in life.
April sit on board for the Women Inspiring Youth Network (WIYN) where she also serves as their spokesperson, she worked with the Human Trafficking Task Force of Greater Milwaukee helping to launch the "Unlucky 13" campaign which brought awareness on a greater scale in the city of Milwaukee which is known as one of the largest hubs for trafficking in the US. She is the author of "Don't Rush to Get Old" a book written with the audience of her youth in mind, yet profitable for anyone. April’s call to ministry is to change lives. She is a humanitarian, a philanthropist, a mentor, a songstress and what she feels is her greatest accomplishment today … April is a mom!
