"Under the leadership of Diamond Nichols, The Dream Center for Girls is finally a reality. For many years, this duo has been hard at work preparing to open a facility that will embrace, educate, encourage and empower a generation of girls who will become leaders in their own way. We look forward to continuing to support the great work of these business leaders, their board leadership, partners, clients and all constituents of The Dream Center for Girls."

"In working side by side with both founders of TDC, I can ensure, without a shadow of a doubt that any young lady who receives their service will be in great hands. I personally know the dedication and determination that Diamond has put in to making their dream of helping young girls in need come true. From long days, sleepless nights, and many obstacles set before them; I have witnessed them push through and conquer many goals they have set for this journey. Both women have a great passion for the work they are doing. Between the two, they have many years in servicing the very youth they are striving to work with. Diamond and her team will be the perfect team and will be great role models for all the girls who will be placed in their care. With Diamond and staff leading the way, I know that these young ladies DREAMs will come true. "
