Lady Inc We are a federally recognized 501c3 organization founded by Angelique Sharpe as a realization of a vision spurred by a project from her graduate study years at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. Realizing that there was a clear necessity to build community support structurs for the rising rate of teens facing adult situations, Lady Inc was brought into existence.
Our core missionis to provide aid and resources that promote self efficacy and
self-reliance for adolescent parents and their children. Our secondary
intent is to assist all youth in making wise decisions, and to support
those who are direct and indirect stakeholders in their future. Our
services include programs that develop self awareness, self-confidence,
financial literacy & security, cultural awareness, and civic/legal
knowledge.
