About the founder

Mis·fit (noun) — Someone who doesn’t quite belong. Doesn’t fit the mold. Out of place in the world.

That was me.

Unwanted. Unworthy. Unwelcome.

I barely graduated high school and hit the streets soon after.
By my early 20s, I was in a deep addiction, homeless on the streets, prostituting to survive, and in and out of jail — 16 times.
I was worn out, angry, and numb. 

So I attempted suicide. 

I was a mess.
But God saw something worth saving.

In 2007, I rededicated my life to the Lord.
He met me in the rubble and began rebuilding, piece by piece.

Fitness became my doorway to discipline. By 2009, I was a certified personal trainer and by 2014, I began competing in body building.
But somewhere along that journey, I realized: you can have a strong body and still carry a broken spirit.
Physical transformation means nothing without spiritual renewal.

That’s when God planted the vision for Misfits Mission—"I used to be a misfit, but now I'm miss fit."

Although it didn’t begin with a house.
It began with a heart—a burden to reach women the world had counted out.
Women marked by incarceration, addiction, abuse, and trauma.
Women carrying heavy pasts and hollow identities, just trying to survive.
I knew that survival wasn’t enough. I knew there was more.
So we started where we were—one conversation, one workout, one woman at a time.

And then came The Hiding Place.

Inspired by the courage of Corrie ten Boom—a woman who hid Jewish refugees in her home during the Holocaust and paid the price with her freedom—The Hiding Place was born.
Corrie believed that “there is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.”
That belief is now the backbone of everything we do.

Our Hiding Place is a sanctuary where women step of prison and into freedom- where they shed the old soundtrack of shame, worthlessness, and trauma—and rise into a new song of peace, purity, and purpose through the Father's love.

Because when Jesus steps in, the old soundtrack ends—and a new one begins.
