Tasha Hickey ( Perfect for Purpose)

Introduction: Tasha Hickey is the founder of Perfect for Purpose. Perfect for Purpose was created to bring women of diverse backgrounds and experiences together, discover the purpose of their pain (i.e. insecurity, breakups, trauma, mental illness, church hurt, death of love one, family hurt, etc.), reveal to them how Christ is still using them, and propel them into their purpose with love,encouragement, and support. We believe that no one is too broken for purpose and the love of Christ can heal and shine through any iniquities. We do not care what your " sin" is we will love you. We provide a positive, judgement free, loving, and close-knit atmosphere for women to gather, be free without the pressure of church, and discuss their pain. My name is Tasha Hickey and I am the founder of Perfect for Purpose. Perfect for Purpose was birthed out of my experiences in life. I am the adult child of an alcoholic as well as the adult child of a mentally ill person, I do not know who my father is, and I grew up in government housing. For most of my life, I thought that I would be limited by my position and situation in life. I lived my life believing that my purpose was only as great as my current circumstance. Eventually, these thoughts became my reality I was no longer the star student, I transformed into the " troubled child", I began fighting in school, direspecting adults,neglecting my school work, and hanging with the wrong crowd. It was not until I was traumatically separated from my siblings, due to my mother’s psychotic episode, that I challenged these thoughts and searched for the purpose in my pain. Currently, I am married, I am the legal guardian of my mother, and I have two degrees, a bachelor’s in social work from Morgan State University and a masters in social work from University of Maryland Baltimore. The purpose in my pain was revealed to me. I realized that I am not the only one that has had a rough past, there are other women in this world that had it even harder than I, but I realized whenever I told another women what I had been through and my journey to overcome I felt more and more pain, negativity, and depressive thoughts release from my mind. When I told my story other women had the courage to keep going. When I told my story and how God brought me through other women were drawn to my light and found reason to push through their pain. All along. God had a purpose for me when I thought I was useless, all along God found me Perfect for the Purpose he had in me, all along I was Perfect for Purpose and so are you!
