About the Purple Project
The Purple Project (sm) is a program of Cummings Watts & Associates, LLC and is the brainchild of former foster care alum LaTasha C.Watts; who herself “aged out” of the foster care system, without being adopted. As a child and a young adult LaTasha remembered what it felt like to not have a strong network of people that were just like herself, as well as the lack of resources and support she faced after “aging out” of the foster care system. She created The Purple Project (sm) to provide an online and offline support network, for current youth in foster care and foster care alumni – including those who have “aged out” of the foster care system or were adopted. The Purple Project (sm) is a place to connect, share experiences, talents and to find various community support resource and information, all in one place. “Being in the system does not mean that you are alone!”
Mission
To create an online and offline support and resource network for current youth in foster care and foster care alumni – including those who have “aged out” of the foster care system or were adopted.
About the Creator
My name is LaTasha C. Watts and it has been approximately 17 years, since I have “aged out” of the foster care system. My Life is much different now, I have truimphed over adversity. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about the importance of making a difference in someone’s life. That difference came for me, with the creation of The Purple Project (sm), which is a support network that I designed to help change the negative outcomes that many of us face after being a part of the foster care system.“Being in the system does not mean that you are alone!” For more information regarding, LaTasha’s story and The Purple Project (sm) please visit www.thepurpleproject.com or email lcwatts@thepurpleproject.com.
