Our Founder,
Akoshee Clanton

With a heart filled with empathy and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those in need, Akoshee strives to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families. She believes that by bringing communities together, we can create a supportive and nurturing environment for everyone.

​

True 2 You's family events are designed to foster a sense of togetherness and create lasting memories for families in need. From picnics in the park to movie nights under the stars, she ensures that these events are accessible to all, regardless of financial limitations.

​

In addition to organizing events, she coordinates food and toy drives to alleviate hunger and bring joy to children during the holidays. She understands that a simple act of kindness, like providing a warm meal or a special gift, can make a significant difference in someone's life.

​

Akoshee's dedication to improving impoverished communities extends beyond events and drives. She actively seeks partnerships and collaborations with local businesses and organizations to maximize the impact of her efforts. By leveraging resources and building connections, she aims to create sustainable change and empower individuals to break the cycle of poverty.

​

It is Akoshee's unwavering passion and commitment to making a difference that sets her apart. Her selflessness and compassion have touched the lives of countless individuals in Staten Island, inspiring others to join her in creating a brighter future for all.
