Hi! I’m Tahlia DeAngelo, born and raised in the Bay Area.
It’s been just my mom and me for most of my life, and the greatest gift she ever gave me was introducing me to Jesus. She taught me to embrace my culture proudly and to never let the opinions of others define me—two lessons that have deeply shaped the woman I am today.

My father was never present, but I grew up understanding that it wasn’t my fault—he had his own struggles. From a young age, I knew God was my true Father. I’m incredibly thankful for His presence in my life. I was raised to know that God loves me unconditionally, protects me, and guides my path. I never felt a void, because God placed strong Black father figures around me who modeled how a woman should be treated, what a good man looks like, and what a father’s love truly feels like. They showed me that while marriage isn’t perfect, it’s worth fighting for. To those men—you know who you are—thank you for helping shape the woman I’ve become.

My passion for helping others began early. I was taught to love deeply, show kindness no matter the circumstances, give generously, and always strive for excellence. I think that’s why people have always felt safe opening up to me—they sense trust, even if they don’t know me well.

I'm especially passionate about supporting young moms. I had my first child at 19, and it was one of the most challenging transitions of my life. I wasn’t eligible for teen mom groups, which typically capped at age 16 or 17, and the moms in my support group were mostly in their 30s—established and in different life stages. I felt isolated. On top of that, many moms hold back out of fear of being judged or shamed by others.

For example, when I returned to work, people would ask if I missed my 3-month-old. I’d say yes, but the truth was complicated. I was struggling with postpartum depression and in an abusive relationship with my child’s father. It deeply affected my ability to bond with my son. I felt like if I admitted I didn’t miss him, people would think something was wrong with me. This is exactly why I’m passionate about creating safe spaces for moms—places where they can be honest about the hard parts of motherhood without fear of judgment. Because it’s not always "peaches and cream."

I started this nonprofit to change lives and make a lasting impact.
I’m here to lead, support, uplift, and empower women. I want to build a community where we can share our stories—without shame, without judgment—and grow stronger together.

With love,

Tahlia DeAngelo
