She pours her time, talent, heart, soul, and spirit into making Bernadette's House a great place for African American preteen and teen girls to learn life skills, receive academic tutoring, mentoring, nutrition and physical education, and the love and support they need to grow up healthier mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. An unstoppable force of nature, Carol has created an island of hope for girls facing enormous personal challenges and she is doing so with heart and courage that is in itself a life-changing lesson for her girls.
