My name is Lady Farley and hopefully, you've come here to (re)discover the joy and efficiency of Community.  Nice to meet you and Welcome! As a passionate and dedicated Social Entrepreneur with a proven track record of empowering communities, fostering entrepreneurship among black women, and supporting grassroots leaders in establishing 501(c)(3) organizations, my commitment to showcasing black excellence and driving impactful change through innovative and sustainable solutions is the mission of my Global Network.

 

My professional journey has been defined by a passion for community engagement and service, particularly in empowering underserved populations. 

 

As recent as this year the Mayor of Newark; Ras Baraka in partnership with Its Kairos Time with Dr. Lucille Black Hollis I was awarded the educator of the year award.

​

With over 20 years of experience in non-profit leadership, organizational development, and a deep commitment to advancing the mission of community-based organizations I have extended my reach into the Public Schools with the goal of preventing drop-outs. 

​

Here at the FPI NETWORK, we firmly believe in community empowerment. We understand the urgency for programs that support advancement through education, basic mental and palpable healthcare, positive exposure, and financial literacy (to list the basics). It's why we've underwritten 10 viable programs that can create long-term impact and sustainable change.” In effective partnership we help administrators determine how to best allocate resources, how well their community services meet the needs of their residents, or how smoothly and sustainably a community operates.  The United States has a problem with wealth and racial inequality.  Now is the time for Community, as Community breed Unity. 

I and members of my Network are available for Community conversations that exemplify Full Transparency and Responsibility for Inclusion and Visibility. Once we begin engaging in much-needed conversations; we can organically weave our Communities into Healthy Homes and Cities.

​

As a Social Entrepreneur, I'm obligated to the reinforcement of First Gratitude, then and foremost Self, Family, and Community.  

If you are looking to be the change in this world that you'd like to see, then your next step is to join our FPINETWORK of extraordinary women of color, changing the way the world interfaces with our communities by giving voice and action to power.  We have a mission to empower every bankrupt human soul with the knowledge that their life is necessary, created with a purpose with the hope of living up to their full potential.   

​

Be Blessed - Always,

Lady Farley-Draven
