WHO WE ARE
Road to Economic Empowerment Enterprises, founded by Angela Willis, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to collaborating with the business community. Our focus lies in delivering professional and personal development opportunities in the realms of mental and financial wellness. Often likened to SCORE with a financial twist, our mission is clear: "Helping families build wealth through real estate while bridging the gap between caregiving and wellness."
For many years, Road to Economic Empowerment Enterprises has proudly served the community through two impactful initiatives: The Cost of Caregiving: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers Financial Health Symposium and the Road to Economic Empowerment Financial Education Seminar. Each has played a vital role in raising awareness about Dementia related diseases like Alzheimer's, promoting financial literacy and helping our seniors save over $25,000 in senior home repairs ensuring they could age in place with dignity. But as we reflect on our journey and look to the future, we've come to a powerful realization—it's time to realign.
We’re returning to our roots—offering homebuyer education—but this time with a powerful new twist. We’re expanding our focus to include aging in place and caregiver-friendly, multi-generational housing solutions. The catalyst for this came from Angela, who at the age of 30 years old became introduced into the role of Dementia caregiver. Both of her parents were diagnosed with Dementia just a few years apart. Although Dementia caregiving is a noble act of love, Angela had no idea it would be an almost twenty year journey of non stop stress due to juggling finances, finding proper care, navigating family conflicts, and trying to find balance between career and life.
Caregiving doesn't just change your life - it redefines it.
Having witnessed firsthand the challenges many families face in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, Angela was moved to create the Care-giver Friendly Multi-Generational Housing Program. This program equips families with practical strategies to reduce costs, enhance quality of life, and foster stronger, more supportive communities.
💡 What is multi-generational housing?
It’s a model where two or three generations (typically family members) live together under one roof. More than just sharing space, it offers families a powerful way to combat rising costs, save money, strengthen relationships, build wealth faster and create legacies that last. Together, we are reimagining housing as a path to wealth, wellness, and community. Proverbs 10:22 says, “The blessing of the Lord maketh rich, and it addeth no sorrow.” In other words, true wealth or success is recognizing that God is our source and He gives us the power to gain wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18) .This includes getting adequate rest, community, healthy nutrition, movement, spiritual connection, and financial clarity.
At R2EE Enterprises we believe in order to have more economic empowerment we must be proactive and intentional about (1) improving our financial literacy, (2) mental health wellness,(3) reshaping the culture by empowering our youth on how to become leaders and culture change agents through entrepreneurship. We believe that in order to achieve more economic empowerment we must work together and master our mindset by being disciplined in our spending and focus on becoming owners versus renters.
Our scripture basis is Romans 12:2 NLT, which says "Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."
