Testimonials

My name is Melissa Peña, a community advocate for women and children in the areas of financial literacy and domestic violence awareness. In June 2020, I successfully completed the We Are Phenomenal Women Inc. 6-week domestic violence (DV) curriculum. This was such a fundamental introductory course into the issue of domestic violence in our communities. Mrs. Sherneice Gatewood-Alli was an extraordinary facilitator who taught us the spectrum of domestic violence issues ranging from: the history of DV, signs of DV, cycles of abuse in DV, and even trends of DV increases during the Covid-19 pandemic. What I appreciated most in taking this course were the intimate sessions we shared in confidentiality of our experiences with domestic violence and strategic ways in creating healthier relational boundaries personally. This was an intense and powerful course which challenged any biased myths of DV and provided amazing resources to services in NY State. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in domestic violence issues and making an impact for change in their own community.

I am honored to write this letter on behalf of We Are Phenomenal Woman’s CEO Mrs. Sherneice Gatewood-Alli. For many years she has demonstrated excellence and servitude with her efforts to educate the masses about domestic violence prevention. Sherneice has worked tirelessly within the Harlem community as a support to those who have been victimized by domestic violence by way of support groups, workshops, and assisting victims with informative tools to get out of domestic violence. Sherneice is a beacon of light, hope, and inspiration, who has spoken to women living in domestic violence shelters. She's donated toys during Christmas time to domestic violence shelters as well. Part of her servitude in her role stems from her being a survivor of domestic violence, yet not having the resources and support that she offers. This support could have gotten her out of being a victim sooner. Mrs. Gatewood-Alli believes strongly that if she is a survivor anyone else can also become one too. Sherneice offers safe effective tools to guide woman out of domestic violence and into a safe secure environment, which will lead to a fulfilled life

On February 9th, 2020, Mrs. Sherneice Alli, CEO of We Are Phenomenal Women invited 10+ women from my shelter for an awesome event, love yourself, that's how the women from the shelter identified the event. They were educated and respected. Sherneice provided nice gifts for the ladies at the shelter, a Valentine's Day celebration. They shared their experience of the event with the other women at the shelter. All the women had a wonderful time, and it was truly appreciated. In May 2021 Mrs. Alli along with the Circle of Brothers provided over 50 gifts to the shelter for the women collectively for a Mother's Day celebration, this brought tears to our women eyes and their shared heart felt stories of having children but not having a relationship with them or not knowing where they were due to being street homeless. Sherneice has a big positive impact on the community and the underserved population. We look forward to continuing our collective relationship with her and Our collective relationship with Mrs. Alli, from the bottom of our hearts thank you for the services you and your organization provide, it is phenomenal
