Our mission bridges fashion and philanthropy, using community events, retail training, and creative empowerment programs to fund services that make a tangible difference in the lives of families.

our story

our story

Founded by Shawna Spencer, I Am You Wraparound Services 2.0 was born from love, observation, and lived experience.

The inspiration came as Shawna watched her daughter courageously care for her granddaughter, Royalt’ii Renee, who was born with cerebral palsy. Witnessing her daughter’s strength and unwavering devotion revealed both the challenges and beauty of motherhood under extraordinary circumstances — and inspired Shawna to take action.

Drawing on her extensive retail background, Shawna made a bold commitment: she dedicated half of her own boutique to create a resale area that funds and supports the organization’s programs. This act of generosity transformed her store into a shared space — part retail, part resource — where fashion meets purpose and every sale helps a family.

What began as a personal mission has grown into Wraparound Services 2.0, an innovative model that combines economic empowerment, creative expression, and emotional support.

Today, I Am You continues to expand its reach — providing women with tools, training, and a community that helps them stand strong in every area of life.

Inspired by Royalt’ii Renee

Every mission has a heartbeat — ours is named Royalt’ii Renee.

Royalt’ii’s life, filled with courage and grace, continues to inspire everything we do.
Her journey with cerebral palsy opened our eyes to the realities faced by families of children with disabilities and reminded us that strength comes in many forms.

Watching her daughter care for Royalt’ii Renee became the spark that ignited I Am You Wraparound Services 2.0.
Royalt’ii’s joy, resilience, and light remind us that beauty is not only seen — it is lived through love, perseverance, and purpose.

She remains the heart of our organization, inspiring us to create pathways for women and families to rise with dignity, support, and hope.
