Meet Dashonia Marie, a passionate and resilient woman who has turned her life around from the depths of addiction to become a beacon of hope and strength for others. With seven years of sobriety, Dashonia knows all too well the struggles that come with drug and alcohol addiction. But instead of letting her past define her, she used it as a foundation to build something beautiful and transformative— Encouraging Her Resilience.
Dashonia’s journey to sobriety wasn’t easy. It was marked by moments of darkness, but also by a profound discovery of faith. Through her own recovery, she realized the importance of having a strong support system and a deep connection with God. This revelation inspired her to create Encouraging Her Resilience, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women who are battling addiction find their way to a better, sober life with God’s guidance.
As a drug and alcohol addiction counselor, Dashonia brings both professional expertise and personal experience to her work. She has a unique ability to connect with the women she serves because she’s walked in their shoes. Dashonia believes that every woman, regardless of her past, has the potential to live a fulfilling, sober life. Through Encouraging Her Resilience, she provides the tools, support, and spiritual guidance necessary for women to reclaim their lives.
Dashonia is not just about recovery; she’s about transformation. Her nonprofit is a place where women can heal, grow, and rediscover their worth. Under her leadership, Encouraging Her Resilience has become a sanctuary for women seeking a second chance. Dashonia’s faith-driven approach empowers women to not only overcome addiction but to thrive in all areas of their lives.
Her story is a powerful reminder that with faith, resilience, and the right support, anything is possible. Dashonia Marie continues to inspire and uplift every woman who crosses her path, showing them that recovery is not just about getting sober—it’s about building a new, stronger, and more purposeful life.
