Meet our Founders
Meet founders Kerisha Tidwell (left) and Cierra Tutton (right). Define U Foundation, Inc. was founded 2016 in Nashville, TN.
Our passion in forming Define U Foundation derived from the lack of proper development and guidance for adolescents within the community. We believe that it is vital to have a caring and trustworthy individual who provides a young person with advice, support, motivation and personal enrichment.
In the beginning stages, Define U solely focused on mentoring young girls between the ages of 13-18 years old. Two public schools, one community center, and roughly 40 girls later, Define U has expanded our horizons. We now offer Community Outreach, Health and Wellness, and Mentorship programs.
Our ultimate goal with this foundation is to continue to have a positive outreach within the community, be a positive consistent influence in young girl’s lives, and just as our name implies, give each and every person we encounter the strength and courage to know that you, Define U.
Our Mission
Define U Foundation, Inc. believes teenage years are, if not the most important time in an individual’s life. The development of a positive self-image and healthy self-esteem makes for a successful transition from childhood to adulthood. We are committed to evolving young teens into better versions of themselves as we are the first steps through which one decides who they will choose to become before the world does.
