About Us
About J2S
J2S is a 501c3, Georgia-based nonprofit that serves as a resource, safe space, empowerment program, and community focused on self-healing, self-discovery, and motivation. Founded in 2021, our goal is to initiate healing from generational traumas such as child sexual abuse. At Journey 2 Self, we believe that open dialogue, support, workshops, and resources that are centered around trauma-related topics that promote healing are the key starting points for self-discovery. With the love, light, and support from our thought leaders, members, and partners, we can boldly begin to heal, one truth at a time.
At J2S we are committed to embracing the whole person. This includes the inner child, the shadow self, and the public version of you. All of our campaigns, programs, and services will reflect a holistic, loving, and spiritual approach. Our website houses a resources list composed of melanated (Black) owned companies and people that provide products and services useful to you as you journey 2 becoming your true and healed self. J2S also offers personal development services (Business Planning, Goal Setting, Resume Building & Interview Training). Please note that at J2S we use the number 2 as opposed to the word, to, because in numerology, the number 2 has a spiritual meaning of harmony, balance, consideration, and love. These are our core values.

Whitney Harris
Treasurer
Whitney loves all things spiritual! She is the first to burn a candle, cleanse the energy of her surroundings and wear crystals to aid in her achieving her goals. With an educational background in psychology, Whitney understands the importance of healing the mind. With her personal experience and professional knowledge she ensures J2S makes wise money decisions so we can continue to help other women.
Tumi Gwabeni
Secretary
Tumi has an educational background in healthcare management. Thanks to her South African background, Tumi's parents introduced her to natural healing at a young age and now she's able to pass this knowledge on to her daughter. Tumi's spiritual journey started when her mom noticed her dancing potential and enrolled her in a nonprofit that showed her how to speak her truth and the importance of having a voice to express herself. Tumi plans to use this experience to enable young girls and women to know that their voices matter!
