Rhonda mentioned, my latest endeavor and one I am most proud of as well, is the collaboration of writing a series of children’s books with 4 of my 5 daughters. It started from a vision Amber Jones, my 2nd oldest daughter had and sparked memories of many conversations I have heard as I spoke across the Country. These conversations were from prominent and everyday people who had experienced one or more of our book subjects as children and as a result, they have also experienced mild to severe mental health issues. Our books help with real issues children may experience and helps to bring awareness to avoid certain issues that could occur. This way we can be instrumental in helping to develop mentally healthy children in our society, that grow up to be mentally sound adults. Our Helpville Learner Series I is comprised of seven books. The subjects are Self-esteem, suicide and depression, homelessness, sexual assault, learning disabilities and other disabilities, bullying and lastly, physical abuse. We tackle these tough issues in a kid-friendly manner. Each book is designed where a child age 5-10 can read it. It is also designed for parents, teachers, counselors etc., to be interactive with the child while reading it to them or with them, no matter what the child's age is. We cater to families, schools, daycares, family oriented centers, foster care agencies, hospitals, other types of organizations and anyone who wants books that help children to live a happy, healthy life! Buy the whole set of all seven books at Amazon.com (type in "Helpville Learner Series" in the search area)! Give a child books that will help them understand themselves and other children as well. Since the launch date of May 6 2019, Our Helpville Learner Series books are already in the Lee County school system in Opelika/Auburn Alabama and in the Gwinnett County Libraries in Georgia! My daughters and I are available to do book signings or speaking engagements on this matter. I would love to hear from you!

Among other things, Ms. Knight had piloted a program called Uplifting Neighborhoods. This project was designed in two parts, one was a program called H.U.M.S. Heroes designed to help under privileged children cope with the issues in their neighborhoods. It would have trained them in drama which leads into drama therapy for healing. The second half of their program would have emphasized safety training, mannerisms and helping to beautify the community. The other, H.U.M.S. Hopegivers was geared towards women in those communities with programs to help with issues such as domestic violence, dating violence, rape etc. It was designed to be a project that trains and empowers these women to eventually run the program themselves. Thus encouraging a cycle of neighbors uplifting each other and building up their communities! The organization this project was designed for lost some funding and was unable to implement the program, however it can be executed in your neighborhood! Call us!!
Rhonda had also been a regular and frequent speaker as well as mentor at Vista Maria, a fairly large girls juvenile facility located in Michigan. "Sadly the majority of these girls have been victims themselves which more than likely attributes to their acting out" she exclaims.

Its unique design was formatted to inform and educate this nation and world's viewing audience and to encourage community involvement. it was also structured to deal with cultural and/or religious challenges victims/survivors may face. She is presently looking for new sponsorship for the show.
