About Us
The Founders
Joi and Jenine, two girls from Brooklyn, unknowingly grew up alongside one another in the same Brooklyn neighborhood and only first connected during sophomore year in a Manhattan High School. Upon their first meeting, Joi and Jenine shared similar backgrounds and patterns such as single parent environments, abusive relationships, abandonment, motherhood, promiscuity and all the elements of what young adolescent women go through on a day to day basis.
Throughout our journey and experiences Divine Angels Wellness Center was born. Our mission and our purpose are clear and we put forth workshops that will assist in the development of young women in their communities. Joi and Jenine want to give life, love and support to the community of women, finding their way in life, just as they have done for each other.

Our Mission
Divine Angels Wellness Center created a safe environment for At-risk individuals ages 5-24 to call home.
A haven of expression, highlighting freedom of self-care, self-evaluation, self- awareness, creativity, and adversity. We strive to break the cycle of generational patterns and develop future entrepreneurs and community leaders.
Divine Angels students develop self-confidence, make ethical decisions, healthy life choices, and excel academically through educational programs.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to connect with at-risk youth facing homelessness, those in foster care and individuals in detention centers- helping them find the answers they've been searching for. Together, we are a vibrant community.
​
We transform dreams into reality, creating opportunities that may seem out of reach but are entirely possible. It all begins with a spark of inspiration, and from there, the adventure unfolds!
​
Our goal is to empower youth and their families by promoting healthy habits and equipping them with the tools they need for independent living. Let's embark on this incredible journey together!
