Today we’d like to introduce you to TaMecca Dansby.
Hi TaMecca, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My journey didn’t begin in a place of ease or advantage. It began in survival mode. I became a mother of two as a teenager, and from that moment forward, life demanded a level of strength and resilience I didn’t always feel prepared for. I faced poverty, abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and abandonment. Some of those challenges came from choices I made, and others were situations I never asked for. But through it all, I learned not to unpack there.
For a long time, I carried shame, guilt, and the belief that my past defined me. It wasn’t until I encountered the grace of God in a deeply personal way that everything shifted. Through that grace, I learned how to heal, how to forgive myself, and how to see that even the hardest parts of my story were shaping me for purpose. That transformation gave me a passion to help others break free as well, because I knew what it felt like to be stuck, defeated, and I also knew what it felt like to rise.
That passion eventually became my calling. I pursued certification as a Life Purpose Coach and a Spiritual Life Coach, which allowed me to merge my testimony with tools that empower others to overcome limiting beliefs and step into their potential. I began writing and providing workshops to help women embrace self worth, the power of their words and renew their mindsets. And from there came WOMAN 2 WOMAN a 501c3 nonprofit birthed from my desire to give women and youth not just encouragement, but real resources, real support, and real hope.
Today, everything I do, whether it’s coaching, writing, speaking, or leading WOMAN 2 WOMAN, is rooted in one message: You are not what happened to you. You are who you choose to become.
My mission is to help people see the greatness within themselves, break generational cycles, and step boldly into the life God designed for them.
I’m grateful for every part of my journey, even the difficult chapters, because they prepared me for exactly what I’m called to do today.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has definitely not been a smooth road. In fact, my journey has been anything but easy. I grew up navigating hardships that most people don’t talk about openly. Abuse, trauma, and the weight of becoming a teenage mother of two. There were seasons where survival felt like the only goal. I battled low self-esteem, depression, and the loneliness that comes with feeling misunderstood or unseen. I experienced abandonment, an abusive relationship, and eventually divorce. Each one of those experiences left emotional layers that I had to learn how to peel back and heal.
Even as I began to grow spiritually and emotionally, the road still wasn’t smooth. Healing requires honesty, forgiveness, and discipline, especially the kind of forgiveness you have to extend to yourself. There were times when shame tried to silence me, times when fear tried to convince me that I didn’t deserve more, and times when the responsibility of motherhood, when I was still a child, myself, felt overwhelming. I was in a position where I had to learn and teach at the same time.
But I learned that obstacles don’t come to stop us; they come to shape us. With God’s grace, I gained the strength to confront my past instead of running from it. I invested in a personal relationship with God, my spiritual growth, inner work, and personal development. I had to change my mind. I had to unlearn patterns, break generational cycles, and replace limiting beliefs with truth. I learned to believe what God said about me in His word. And every step forward, no matter how small, became a victory.
Looking back, the road was rough, but it was purposeful. Those struggles are why I can now relate, empathize, and show up authentically for others. The challenges didn’t disqualify me, they refined me and equipped me for the work I do today.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
WOMAN 2 WOMAN is more than a nonprofit, it’s a ministry rooted in healing, purpose, and transformation. We exist to empower women, families, and youth who are navigating or rebuilding after difficult life events. Our heart is to teach others early what many of us learned late: self-worth, confidence, financial independence, and the power of walking in your God-given purpose.
We specialize in transformational coaching programs, financial assistance, empowerment workshops, and youth development initiatives. Our services include financial literacy training, emergency financial support, vision and supportive listening workshops, suicide-prevention workshops, holiday sponsorships for women and families in crisis, and our Young Fly & Focused Youth Summit, which equips young people with tools for confidence, leadership, and goal-setting.
What sets WOMAN 2 WOMAN apart is our holistic, faith-centered approach. We don’t just offer help, we offer growth. Every program is designed to build long-term stability and personal transformation. When women receive financial assistance, they also participate in our financial literacy workshop. When young people attend our summit, they will not only leave inspired, but with actionable steps for their future. We focus on the whole person: mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud of our authenticity and impact. We serve with compassion, but also with intention. We create safe spaces for real healing. We help break generational cycles. And we give women and youth the tools to rebuild their lives with confidence and purpose.
To anyone reading: WOMAN 2 WOMAN is here for you. Whether you need support, want to volunteer, or hope to partner with us, you’re welcomed into a community that believes in second chances, restored identity, and a future full of possibility. Together, we’re helping individuals rise above circumstances and step boldly into the life they were created/desire to live.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
Yes, I want every reader to know that no matter what you’ve walked through, your story isn’t over. You don’t have to look like what you’ve been through, and you don’t have to stay where life left you. Healing is possible. Transformation is possible. Purpose is possible. And you are worth doing the work to become everything God created you to be.
I also want to encourage anyone who feels called to support women, families, and youth in their communities, your involvement matters. Whether you choose to volunteer, donate, partner, or simply share our mission, you become part of restoring hope and changing lives.
Lastly, I want people to know that WOMAN 2 WOMAN is a place of grace. A place where women and young people can breathe, heal, and rebuild without judgment. We’re not here to fix people, we’re here to walk with them as they rise.
Thank you for giving me the space to share my story. My hope is that it reminds someone that they are not alone, and that a beautiful, purpose-filled life is still ahead of them.
