Meet Trevi

Trevolia Marie Booker Pershay –( aka to friends and collegues as Trevi ) grew up in Brooklyn East New York Housing Projects (Louis H. Pink Houses) where she was reared by a single strong black woman.  Trevi grew up in a household that was filled with love, church and humanitarian women that offered changed with the community.  Trevi had no positive outlet as a youth.  There were only gangs and pregnant teenagers which she wasn’t interested in either.  Trevi found an outlet that allowed her to turn her pain into power and she discovered dance.  Trevi started volunteering at age 16 in her community center and there she develop a dance program.  Within 2 months Trevi had over 40 girls ages 7 – 12 and she new something great was taking place.  At 16 Trevi became a role model for girls living withing thehousing projects.  Trevi realized that there were other young girls who needed mentorship and a positive outlet.
