Being the eldest child, she was raised by a single mother and grandmother that instilled family and community values.

Not realizing it at the time, her start to philanthropy would begin at Smart Start Child Care Center, where she would be a teachers aide creating positive impacts and assisting with the Smart Start Food Program.
During 2012 Iesha made the decision to go back to school and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Criminal Justice. Completing this goal led her to also achieve a Master’s Degree in Psychology. During this time, a conversation sparked an idea that became F.A.I.T.H. Behavioral Services and Wellness Center becoming a reality in 2017. Iesha is the co-founder and COO of F.A.I.T.H. Being certified as a Qualified Mental Health Associate and a Peer Recovery Support Specialist Supervisor allowed Iesha to organize a business alongside her mother.
