What Our Clients Are Saying

Pamela’s interaction and straightforward approach with UCAN’s Phenomenal Woman Mentoring Group was exactly what the young ladies needed. As I watched the young ladies listen intently and intensely, I could tell that the words Pamela spoke to them about her life story struck nerves but also gave hope to stories that sometimes go untold. She is a light for some that are experiencing similar situations and a voice for those who have learned to put up walls. Pamela’s story is one of victory, triumph, courage, and inspiration. Pamela Dukes’ story is a testament of “It’s not how or where we start, but how far we’re willing to go to get to our destiny!”
Pamela Dukes of Awakening Aspiration facilitated a workshop to the Diermeier Future Leaders Now Institute on December 28th, 2016 at the North Lawndale Campus of UCAN. The DFLN Institute is a leadership program for at risk youth designed to engage, inspire and empower them. We had 25 youth participating in this 35 hour leadership program Ms. Dukes definitely engaged our young people by sharing her own story of rising from her situation. Youth and staff enjoyed her workshop. It was a pleasure having Ms. Dukes present and we look forward to continued collaboration with her and Awakening Aspiration. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the youth we all serve.
Pamela has provided wellness coaching, training, youth life skills and mentoring services for the youth and staff at the shelter. She held over 10 foster parent support groups, over 20 youth in care mentoring groups/activities, countless professional development and communications training with staff, including individual sessions on every level when warranted. Thank you Pamela for the countless hours, days, months and now years that you have invested improving the lives of our youth and empowering the adults that support them. Thank you for your holistic new thinking approach. Stay Blessed!!
