Ms. Knight is also an Evangelist and says this gift is one that she cherishes in her heart. Not the title but the gift that God has given her. I hope to live my life as an example, I would rather walk the walk than talk the talk.

Among other things, Ms. Knight has piloted a program called Uplifting Neighborhoods. This project is in two parts, one is a program called H.U.M.S. Heroes designed to help under privileged children cope with the issues in their neighborhoods. It trains them in drama which leads into drama therapy for healing. The second half of their program emphasizes safety training, mannerisms and helping to beautify the community. The other, H.U.M.S. Hopegivers is geared towards women in those communities with programs to help with issues such as domestic violence, dating violence, rape etc. It is a project that trains and empowers these women to eventually run the program themselves. Thus encouraging a cycle of neighbors uplifting each other and building up their communities!

Rhonda had also been a regular and frequent speaker as well as mentor at Vista Maria, a fairly large girls juvenile facility located in Michigan. Sadly the majority of these girls have been victims themselves which more than likely attributes to their acting out, she exclaims.

Its unique design is formatted to inform and educate this nation and world's viewing audience and to encourage community involvement. it is also structured to deal with cultural and/or religious challenges victims may face.
