Terequa Rucker is the Founder of The Royal Tea Women’s Empowerment, LLC, and shares that she is a married mother of three children who struggles with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
A veteran of the U.S. Army, her mental health declined after being deployed, so she was discharged from the military and experienced some of the roughest times of her life. Because of her PTSD, she didn’t work immediately after being discharged, putting a strain on the family to financially survive on the little income in the household as the bills piled up. Getting the necessary help to work on her mental and emotional well-being, Rucker knew there were more women out there who were going through the same challenges as she did.
She started The Royal Tea Women’s Empowerment, LLC to give women better opportunities and resources to navigate through their hardships and mental challenges.
Rucker’s mission is to create a safe space for women and their families, connecting them with women who are going through or who have gone through similar situations so they can support one another and raise their children in healthy, thriving environments.
“When I was at my worst dealing with mental illness, food was my comfort, and I became obese. After reading posts from mostly women who commented about my weight on the internet, I was mortified and shut down. But giving it further thought, I decided to start my nonprofit to help women unite and uplift one another,” Rucker said..
During this impactful event, speakers Tina George, Dr. Alena Barosa, Marissa Ortiz, and Allisha Smith will share their powerful stories of struggle and triumph. Local artists Chyna Vonne, Brelashayy, Kelsey Hall, The Elegant Emerald Dance Studio, and Therealluxxluxx will provide inspiring performances.
Housing experts, tutors, teachers, and resumé builders will also be on hand to provide valuable resources to help women get on their feet. Bring your resumé. A portion of the ticket proceeds will be donated to the BEU Foundation, a nonprofit that supports children who struggle with behavior issues.
This event is more than just a celebration - it's a chance to make a real difference in the lives of women and their families. Join in for a day of empowerment, connection, and community. Enjoy a spread of appetizers and shop with local vendors.
