Seeking Board Members for Impact!

MORE DETAIL:  We emphasize the positive impact of spirituality with tools that promote self-care. We bridge the gap between faith-based and therapeutic resources by providing educational programs. These programs build a community, provide emotional support, and generate a mindset shift toward empowerment and healing. Our initiatives embody deliberate activities for mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

HISTORY: JINTEL was founded in 2018 after Founder, Kemir Baker wanted to provide a safe place for women to gather to address their emotional well-being. Kemir endured a traumatic childhood, which placed her on her healing journey. Due to her experiences, she understood the importance of having a great support team and tools to thrive. With the assistance of life coaches, social workers, therapists, and everyday people, we inspire others to pursue long-term transformation in their everyday lives. Our goal is for women to be spiritually strengthened and delivered from circumstances. We know that investing in our well-being releases the hurt and pain caused by life’s stressors. We can live in the moment with confidence while staying true to ourselves. We assist others to step into their identity and embrace God’s unconditional love while loving themselves with tenderness and care. We resolutely take back the life that God designed for us!
