Our Journey
Talicia Wims — Founder & CEO
Talicia Wims is the Founder and CEO of Pillars of Promise, an organization dedicated to providing safe, stable, and nurturing environments for youth in need — especially sibling groups.
With over eight years of experience as a foster parent, Talicia has opened her home to children who need more than placement — they need consistency, connection, and care that feels real. As a mother and the oldest sibling in her own family, she brings a natural leadership style rooted in protection, structure, and compassion.
Her work is driven by lived experience, not just theory. Talicia understands firsthand the importance of keeping siblings together and creating spaces where children feel secure, valued, and supported.
“Through Pillars of Promise, we are building more than a program — we are creating a foundation where youth can heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.”
