Video Clip Disclaimer: Because many of the clients we serve are battered women and teens, it is essential that we respect their privacy as they have made strides to better their lives and sometimes to better the lives of their children. Not all of the women in the clip have been abused yet they so graciously assisted us by supporting those who have been abused.

Meet Katrina Currie
Our founder and board president, Katrina has a passion for Beautify the Meek which comes from personal experiences. She was emotionally and physically abused in her first marriage. That's not all. Back in 2000, Katrina began to suffer from autoimmune diseases ranging from Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome while Myositis, Degenerative Arthritis and Myalgia only complicated things further. SLE attacks major organs, tissue, and joints. She ended up losing not only her job and her social life, but her physique too. She has not allowed Lupus or other things to define her, though. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of North Dakota with a Bachelor of General Studies with Cognates in Literary Works and Technical Writing, Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Religion - from Excelsior College of Albany, New York, and a Paralegal Certificate from Colorado State University-Pueblo. Katrina has earned multiple credentials and certificates too. Katrina is a Christian and attributes all of her success and triumphs to her faith, her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God has allowed her passion to spring forth as an image, personal and career service consultant. Katrina is honored to be the mother of three wonderful boys, De Vaughn, Isaiah, and Joshua. She has the amazing gift of sharing marital covenant with her husband, Malcolm L. Currie, Jr., who stills manages to take her breath away.
