Pearl Willis was herself a pregnant teenager, and a single mother of 3 children. She used her own personal experience to craft a mission to provide teen moms with the opportunity to break the welfare cycle. She believes that with an education, a caring place for their children, and the knowledge and help of God these moms really can succeed and do great things with their lives.

Pearl earned her high school diploma by GED. From 1996 to 2004, Pearl gradated in 2004 from Olive-Harvey College with her associate's degree in Child Development. The education does not stop with Ms. Pearl. She requires that all her staff pursue furthering their education.

She is a visionary, the founder, and the director but she still loves to get down on the floor and play with the kids!
