CLARA CARR.
MEET FOUNDER .
VICKIE JOHNSON.
Clara Carr is a native of Alexandria, Virginia. She has been a resident of Charlotte, NC since 2006. She is the proud mother of the Executive Director & Founder, Penelope Carr. She is a retired Project Manager for the Government and former owner of a Commercial cleaning business. Her mission is to help teen girls prosper and be motivated towards their life goals. Her motto is to always put your family first.
Vickie Renee Johnson is a native Georgian. She retired from the United States Navy in June 2003, after completing twenty years of service. In July 2003, she moved to Charlotte with her two sons. She is a Special Education Teacher with Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. Her mission is to inspire young women and encourage them to be their best. Her goal is to aspire to be her best and an example for all.
Today's teens are tomorrow's leaders, which is why investing in their development is crucial. While they may receive their academic foundation at school, their everyday environment, their home life, the media and countless other things influence who they become, and ultimately the decisions they make. As the single mother of a teenage girl, I have firsthand experience with what types of pressures teenagers face on a daily basis, and I can assure you their world is full of constant difficult decisions. It became clear that in order to have a personal foundation of self respect, self motivation and a sense of integrity to make positive choices, teenagers need encouragement and guidance. With the assistance of a committed group of women, AN IMAGE OF ME was developed. On behalf of AN IMAGE OF ME, we wish to THANK all of the parents whom will allow their young ladies to participate in our program. We know that it takes trust to build relationships and commitment to make them last. In advance, we appreciate the trust that you will extend to our organization and we in turn will make a commitment to strengthen our community relationship. Thanks for your support and remember "THE BEST IS YET COME"!!!
