BAWSE (Brilliantly.Awesome.Women.Support.Eachother) is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization that was founded in 2017 by Tika Smith, a single mother of four children. She quickly formed a group of volunteers, whom she refers to as her tribe. "It takes a village..." Together, the tribe host dinners at local shelters, as well as birthday and holiday celebrations, among many other events for women and children in need. What great joy it brings us to see their beautiful faces light up. 

Our Mission: BAWSE is dedicated to providing basic needs of women and children, and equip them to get back on their feet.

Our Vision: BAWSE empowers women to believe how brilliantly awesome they truly are, and with the right tools and guidance they can reach their full potential.
