My name is Syreeta Allen. I wanted to share a bit about my journey, as I believe it reflects both personal growth and a deep commitment to helping others. As a devoted wife and a proud mother of seven wonderful children, my life has been a colorful tapestry of experiences, life lessons, and responsibilities. Each day brings its unique challenges and beautiful moments. Life is what you make it, and I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world. I am currently enrolled at Liberty University, where I am pursuing a degree in psychology with a focus on addiction and recovery, along with a minor in criminal justice. My studies deeply inspire me, and my ultimate ambition is to earn my doctorate. With this advanced education, I aspire not only to enhance my understanding but also to empower others on their journeys to wellness and healing. In 2021, I founded Serenity Resources and Recovery, a non-profit organization born from a desire to give back to our community. Initially, we aimed to assist the less fortunate, but as our mission evolved, we expanded our reach to help all individuals battling addiction, those experiencing homelessness, and our brave veterans. Our approach is rooted in compassion—no one is turned away. We are dedicated to meeting people where they are, understanding that every journey is unique and deserving of respect and support. Personally, my path to recovery has been transformative. It has been seven years since I took my last drink and embarked on a sober lifestyle that has reshaped my existence. My own experiences have equipped me to become a recovery specialist, and I am on a steadfast mission to guide, connect, and support others in fostering healthier lifestyles. I believe that through empathy and shared experiences, we can illuminate the path to recovery and instill a sense of hope in those who may feel lost.
