Meet The team - Boardmembers

(CEO) Founder/President

My name is Cheryl Baker and I am a loving mother, grandmother and a proud member of Light of the World Christian Tabernacle, where I sing in the choir. I started this organization with divine revelation from God. You see, I was a victim of human trafficking.  However, I am no longer a victim, and I am not just a survivor, I am a victor. I have the victory.  I no longer allow my past to dictate who I am or who I can become.  My goal for this organization is to help other women and young ladies who have gone through painful experiences to realize their worth and to find their place in society. I want them to know that they have the victory too!  I want them to know that they have nothing to be ashamed of because they have done nothing wrong.  It is my desire for every female, no matter their age, to know The Truth About Beauty. 

COO

The one thing that I can say about me is that, if it wasn’t for the grace of God I don’t know where I would be right now. I am glad that Cheryl asked me to be a part of this organization.  My goal is to help her to reach those who feel as if they have no hope.  Because I know what it feels like to think you have no hope.  There was a time in my life, when I was in a dark place. I want the women that we reach out to, to know that there is hope, there is help and there is love.  I want them to know that whatever they are going through, they do not have to go through it alone. I want them to know that someone on our team most likely knows what they are going through and how to get through it. Beauty is only skin deep, the real beauty, the true beauty, is within.

Youth Ambassador 

I am Gehan D. Trench. I am the daughter of Vladimir Trench and Mrs. LaShonda Bloodsaw-Scott as well as the granddaughter of the founder of The Truth About Beauty, Inc. I am a member of Light of the World Christian Tabernacle and I actively serve in the Dance Ministry, Audio/Visual department, and I play violin and bass guitar. 

I have attended Peoples Baptist Academy since I was 4 years old and look forward to graduating there with honors.  I am a considerate, fair, and gentle person. I love to help others in any way that I can. I believe that everyone should be treated with respect and given equal opportunities.  I am not a person to flee from challenges and I am not afraid to stand up for what is right. 

Therefore, I hold my assignment as a Youth Ambassador with high esteem and look forward to helping the organization reach as many girls and women as possible to help change their lives! 

Youth Ambassador

Let me introduce myself. My name is Isabella Lewis, and I am the daughter of Tiffany Lewis and the granddaughter of Julia Lewis, who is the COO of The Truth About Beauty, Inc. I am currently attending middle school and will attend International Baccalaureate Gateway High School in August. I enjoy playing  tennis, dancing, and playing the trumpet and guitar. 

Recently, I had an encounter with God, which caused me to look back at everything and see how time and time again, God was always there for me, even though at the time, I might not have realized it. 

As a Youth Ambassador, I would like to help young people to be confident in themselves, so that they cannot be easily influenced. One thing that my mother and grandmother have taught me is to be my wonderfully unique self and don't try to be a cookie-cutter copy of the “it crowd” because God said that we are fearfully and wonderfully made!

My desire is to be a source of inspiration to both girls and women, to let them know that no matter what you may be going through, there is always hope!
