A Note From Me

Mindset for Success

“Our dreams are powered by a higher source. See beyond where you are, become who you’re called to be, and never give up.”
— Dr. Vicki Golden

I have faced challenges and fierce competition that pushed me beyond my limits. Yet my unwavering belief in my purpose fueled my strength and carried me forward.

Overcame obstacles that tested resilience and determination
Found strength and clarity through purpose and passion

Now, I am devoted to mentoring and empowering the next generation of young women. Join Project Bloom: Girls to Women and step boldly into the powerful future that awaits you.

Committed to guiding girls into confident, capable leaders
Inviting you to grow, lead, and bloom into your fullest potential

Warm Regards,
Dr. Golden, PhD

Project Bloom-Girls 2 Women

30+ Years of
experience

A Purpose Close to My Heart.

This mission is personal to me.

Turning my journey into support for girls and women

I know what it feels like to need support and not have it.

For over 30 years, I attended college both full-time and part-time while raising four daughters as a single mother. During that time, I:

Worked full-time
Attended classes at night
Managed my home and cared for my children
Overcame life’s many challenges

Those experiences taught me:

Strength
Resilience
The value of guidance and encouragement
The importance of having someone who stands with you

Why I help girls and women:

I want to be the support I once needed
I believe no woman or girl should struggle alone
I am committed to offering guidance, encouragement, and hope
I stand beside girls and women during their time of need

Education Changes Everything

My Testimony

From a GED to a PhD

I left school at 16 with a fourth-grade reading level and no clear path forward. I married at a young age, believing adulthood would be easier than it was.

When I realized it wasn’t, I made a decision to change my life. I returned to school at night, earned my GED, and continued my education.

Over 25 years—while raising four children as a single mother—I earned six college degrees, one at a time. My journey is proof that faith, perseverance, and purpose can rewrite any story.

Today, giving back isn’t optional—it’s my calling. I stand in the gap for girls and women who need support, belief, and opportunity—just as I once did.
