Empowering Survivors, Restoring Hope
Vital Voice of Love is more than a nonprofit—it’s a safe haven, a community, and a movement of love designed to empower survivors of abuse to reclaim their voices and rediscover their inherent worth. Founded by LaShawn Dobbs, Vital Voice of Love was born from a place of deep personal healing and a passion for walking alongside others on their journey to freedom, restoration, and hope.
Our Mission
Vital Voice of Love exists to empower survivors to reclaim their voices and embrace their inherent worth. We envision a world where every survivor feels seen, heard, known, and loved—a world where no voice is silenced, no story is untold, and no healing journey is walked alone.
A Vision Rooted in Healing
Vital Voice of Love was born from the belief that healing is possible for everyone and that love is the foundation for true transformation. It is a mission, a vision, and a calling to meet survivors where they are, offer support, and provide the resources they need to heal and thrive.
This nonprofit helps transform the effects and triggers of trauma and abuse into bridges of hope and healing, creating opportunities for survivors to rediscover their worth and embrace freedom on their healing journey.
Our Programs and Initiatives
• Scholarships to Share Their Stories
Through a beautiful partnership with Divine Purpose Publishing House (DPPH), we offer scholarships to survivors of abuse, giving them the opportunity to share their stories with the world. By amplifying their voices, these stories not only bring personal healing but also inspire and uplift others.
• Community and Resources
Vital Voice of Love provides a supportive community where survivors can find encouragement, connection, and resources tailored to their needs. Whether through workshops, gatherings, retreats or mentorship, our mission is to create a safe space for healing and growth.
• Transitional Housing (Future Initiative)
We are working toward offering transitional housing for survivors and individuals aging out of the foster system, ensuring they have a safe place to rebuild their lives and embrace new beginnings.
The Heart Behind Vital Voice of Love
Vital Voice of Love isn’t just about meeting practical needs—it’s about bringing restoration to the heart. It’s about being present in the moments when survivors feel unseen and unheard, and walking alongside them as they rediscover their worth and voice.
Divine Purpose Publishing House Partnership
Vital Voice of Love is proud to partner with Divine Purpose Publishing House to extend our mission through storytelling. A portion of DPPH’s proceeds directly funds scholarships for survivors, amplifying their voices and ensuring their stories are shared with the world.
Self-Sufficient and Purpose-Driven
Vital Voice of Love operates as a self-sufficient nonprofit, fully funded by the net proceeds from our businesses: Dəˈfīnd by Love, DiViNE Purpose Publishing House (DPPH), and in the future, the I Believe coffeehouse/bookstore. These businesses are designed to pour into this mission, ensuring survivors have the resources and scholarships they need to share their stories, reclaim their voices, and rebuild their lives.
We do not rely on external fundraising or tax-deductible donations. However, if you’d like to support Vital Voice of Love, the best way is by partnering with one of our businesses—whether it’s through publishing your book with DPPH, purchasing items from Dəˈfīnd by Love, or partnering with us through future ventures like I Believe.
Together, we are creating a ripple effect of transformation by turning passion into purpose and purpose into action.
