Who We AreWear It Well Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that provides transformations that exude from the inside out with education, inspiration and motivation. It was established in memory of and to honor the life and legacy of Leona Givhan Davis. Our aim is to model the countless attributes she exemplified such as caring for others, never judging anyone and doing it from the goodness of her heart whether paid or for free. We offer services that will encourage our clients to "wear it well," regardless of what they face in life and to provide a renewed sense of self-worth.
Our MissionThe mission of Wear It Well is to educate, inspire and motivate individuals facing cancer or life-altering events and to enhance the quality of life by renewing the mind, body and soul.
What We DoWe offer makeovers and educational programs. Our focus is to provide cost-effective, quality treatment and assist individuals whose challenging battle with life has made it difficult or impossible for them to thrive and live a happy, healthy life.
Our ProgramsExtreme Makeover is a community-based program that provides individualized makeovers for people with cancer - to help them cope with the aftermath of cancer treatments, and how it affects their appearance and self-esteem. This includes men, women and children. It is also for those who are going through other life-altering events/illnesses. The program includes, but is not limited to: Hair (wigs & extensions), makeup/cosmetics, manicures/pedicures (nail care) and new clothing along with spiritual and mental motivation. We also provide training sessions and workshops as needed to ensure the recipients feel confident beyond the makeovers.
Love The Skin You're In raises awareness for anti-bullying, suicide prevention, diversity inclusion, self-confidence and teaches life skills. Wear It Well educates the community, schools and organizations on what it means to Love The Skin You're In, no matter what you are facing in life. The program enables at-risk youth to effectively deal with battling suicidal thoughts, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and feeling worthless due to bullying or other traumatic experiences. This is done through utilization of awareness events held at schools, in the community and in private settings. Through professional interactive presentations, those attending these events receive statistics and examples of others battling the same issues. Following each event, attendees identified as bullies - or being bullied - will have opportunities to connect with appropriate professionals for additional individualized interventions. The goal is to increase their confidence and self-esteem - leaving a lasting impression - which will help enrich and empower the lives of those served. A community rally, “Bullying is Banned”, is held annually to compel the youth, families, schools and other organizations take a stand against bullying. The Health is Wealth program is designed to shed light on the importance of diet, exercise and, ultimately, living a healthy lifestyle. A fitness specialist and personal trainer provide group and one-on-one sessions that include workouts without the gym; nutrition fun tips on diets, including sweets; how to meal prep/diet on a budget; facts about diet myths and how to use supplements. Your health is your greatest wealth. This program is also designed to raise awareness of causes such as autism, heart disease, lupus, Alzheimer's, various types of cancer, diabetes, etc., with designated events for the cause. Wear It Well also hosts health fairs throughout the year - providing complimentary health consultations. Ready, Set, GOALS is a program that equips and educates individuals through a comprehensive employment and training program. Wear It Well teaches them to write resumes, prepare for job interviews, dress for success (complete makeover) and master financial literacy/budgeting after finding work. Participants learn to establish goals and work towards achieving them. Transportation is also provided after jobs are secured, if needed. |
