Dear Reader,
Writing this memoir was not just about telling my story, it was about planting seeds of hope for others who are walking through pain and searching for purpose. Every chapter in these pages represents resilience, survival, and the belief that even broken beginnings can lead to beautiful destinations.
That same belief is the heartbeat behind Tu Organics Foundation, a nonprofit I created to empower underserved communities through cosmetology education, entrepreneurship, and holistic beauty training. What once was only a dream in my heart has become a movement to break barriers and create opportunities for women, survivors of trauma, and anyone striving for a second chance.
Through scholarships, cosmetology kits, micro-grants, and mentorship, we are changing lives, just as mine was changed when someone believed in me. But dreams this big cannot grow alone. That’s why I’m inviting you to be part of the journey.
Your support matters. By contributing to our crowdfunding campaign, you are not just donating, you are investing in futures, in education, and in healing. Every gift, big or small, is a seed that will bloom into empowerment for someone who needs it most.
As you turn the pages of my story, I hope you feel inspired not only to reflect on your own resilience but also to join me in building pathways for others. Together, we can turn pain into purpose, survival into success, and individual healing into collective impact.
Thank you for walking with me on this journey, and for helping me make “Tu Success” a reality for countless others.
With gratitude and hope,
Mariatu Tu Browne
Founder, Tu Organics Foundation
