Our invigorating club thrives to enrich the lives of Women “one page at a time” through literacy & community service.  Our mission is to help uplift, magnify, encourage, respect and provide a nurturing environment for women of color; who are strong mentally, physically, spiritually by educating, encouraging and supporting each other while utilizing “POSITIVE” energy from one to another.

BPM: What has the main focus become over the years?

Our main focus over the years has been on community service.  We have given financially and of our time to many local organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, the Union Rescue Mission, Arkansas Food Bank, Ronald McDonald House, The Dorcas House for Battered Women & Children, New Beginnings Pregnancy Resource Center, Fund-a-night Stay at the 20th Century Lodge in Little Rock for cancer patients and the Salvation Army to name a few.  We have participated in numerous projects over the years.

We would like to leave the legacy of service behind to those watching in the community.  We want to make a difference. At the end of the day, we hope that our contributions will positively impact our society. We would like to encourage every one to be a Drum Major as in the words of Martin Luther King Jr. in his sermon "The Drum Major Instinct."

Another main focus of our club is to promote literacy through reading and encouraging other to pick up a book regularly from local and well-known authors.  Facebook:  Divas Leaving No Pages Unturned Book Club
