Introduction

Kenyatta Mccloud, Founder

 With a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice (BSCJ) and over 17 years of experience serving justice-impacted individuals, I’ve dedicated my career to guiding successful reentry and transition back into society. As an independent publisher, I use journaling to inspire healing and growth. I take a holistic approach, leveraging community partnerships, peer support and workforce development to drive change. I’m certified in Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), Thinking for a Change (T4C), and Youth Mental Health First Aid, and I serve as a GED proctor. My mission is to help girls and women heal, thrive, and reach their fullest potential—focusing on Mindset, Esteem, Sisterhood, and Self-worth.

About us

Our Mission

This 501(c)(3) non-profit organization is dedicated to empowering women—particularly those who are incarcerated—by helping them transform their mindsets and unlock their true potential. Through mentorship programs that enhance self-worth, foster hope, and strengthen family bonds, we aim to create pathways to personal growth, resilience, and the restoration of values.

Our Vision

We envision a united community of women who have transformed their diverse life experiences into strength and resilience, thriving as mothers, successful professionals, and entrepreneurs. Through their passion and dedication, these women offer mentorship and guidance to help others overcome challenges, quiet overwhelming and negative thoughts, and embrace clarity, purpose, and empowerment.

Taming My M.E.S.S. Foundation is dedicated to making a positive impact in our community. Through partnerships and outreach, we aim to reach those in need of our services and support.
