Welcome to BOSI
Outside of her church and community involvement, BOSI founder Cheryl Washington used her gifts as a cosmetologist to outwardly adorn women. While adorning women in the salon, the conversations were centered around parenting, self-care, self-worth, serving others, careers, and daily struggles. Cheryl realized that she was not just making her clients beautiful outwardly but encouraging them inwardly. She always found a way to combine her business mindset with her desire to encourage and uplift women. After experiencing her own personal hardships, Cheryl realized that many women struggled with self-worth and acceptance. As a result, BOSI was born, a community driven, non-profit organization dedicated to elevating, empowering, and assisting teen girls and women with essential life skills.

1. Help women evaluate their life circumstances and identify skill gaps. We then introduce and reinforce principles to effect positive change with workshops and events.
2. Provide opportunities for women to enhance or gain self-awareness to create a healthy lifestyle and attend to basic self-care needs including moderate makeover.
3. To mentor younger women by demonstrating basic life skills, sharing experience-born knowledge, and encouraging continual personal development enabling informed life decisions through accountability.
4. Lead women to become independent, empowered, and able to achieve goals through available resources, information, and supporting networks.
Self-Awareness
Some experiences impact our ability to make sound life choices. Our personal development should be ongoing and help us develop skills and qualities that create opportunities and maximize our potential.
Increased self-awareness allows us to look within and see where growth is needed to achieve goals, purpose, and aspirations.
Life is not easy. You cannot allow the world, failures or mistakes to dictate who you are. Your actions do not define you. We know how to perform for others but what happens when our performance is over? Who am I? Why do I feel worthless, not valued, and unsatisfied? Developing and enhancing the skills needed to accomplish our goals should not come at the expense of losing ourselves.
