Our Why

Sassy is not a cute name it is a lifestyle and a choice. We have all experienced hardships, heartbreak, obstacles, and low moments, but how we get through is up to us. At the age of 23, the doctors told my parents I had a 50% chance of living. I was fighting for my life and so was my newborn son, I had accepted the fact that I was going to die. A group of women visited me while I was in SICU and they prayed for me; one of the ladies looked at me and said “you will live and not die”. Here we are over 20 years later, and I am living! That was the day S.A.S.S.Y. was planted within me, my life improved because I made the choice to become a Spiritually Active Saved Sound Young woman.

​

Our team is a group of women who build, encourage, and uplift other women. We are a group of women who understand our been-through was necessary for our breakthrough. We are our sister's keeper!
