Yshall Davis has always believed that some of the most meaningful work we can do in life is helping people find their way forward. Her commitment to serving others has been built over years of education, professional experience, advocacy, and genuine compassion for individuals and families navigating difficult seasons of life.

With a degree in Chemical Dependency Counseling, Yshall brings specialized education and knowledge in addiction, recovery, and the complex challenges that can accompany substance use. She also spent five years working in an inpatient substance use treatment center, giving her invaluable experience alongside individuals during some of the most vulnerable moments of their recovery journeys. Through that work, she learned that treatment can be the beginning of change, but what happens afterward the environment a person returns to, the resources available to them, and the support surrounding them can be just as important.

Her heart for service eventually expanded beyond treatment and into civic engagement and advocacy, where Yshall worked to strengthen communities, connect individuals with resources, and advocate for people whose needs and voices can too easily go unheard. Throughout every chapter of her career, one thing has remained consistent: people have always been at the center of her work.

Yshall brings a special combination of warmth and leadership to our organization. She is knowledgeable and experienced, but she is also approachable the kind of person who will listen, help you understand your options, connect you with the right resources, and make sure you know that you are not navigating the next chapter of your life alone.

As a Founder and Resident Services Manager, Yshall is able to bring everything she has learned throughout her career into one purpose: helping create a safe, supportive, and resource filled environment where residents can begin building what comes next. Her knowledge of chemical dependency, years inside treatment settings, and background in community advocacy allow her to understand residents not simply by where they are today, but by the many pieces that may be necessary to help them move forward.

For Yshall, this organization is more than another position in a long career of service. It is an opportunity to pour years of knowledge, experience, and compassion into a place where people can feel welcomed, supported, and hopeful about what is still possible for their lives.

For Nefetari Davis, this work is not about saving people it is about reminding people that they are still worth saving themselves.

Her passion comes from a place that cannot be taught in a classroom. Nefetari knows what it feels like to have a past. She knows what it feels like to make decisions you wish you could take back, to face consequences, and to reach a moment where you have to decide whether the hardest parts of your story will destroy you or become the very things that transform you.

More than decade ago Nefetari  made that decision for herself. She chose change. And what began as a decision to create a different life became years of perseverance, growth, accountability, and purpose. Today, it’s been 15 years since her last involvement with the justice system, she doesn’t look at where she came from with shame she looks at it as evidence that transformation is possible.

That is why she has such a heart for the men and women this program serves.

Nefetari understands that sometimes a person can genuinely want to change and still not know where to begin. Sometimes they are returning to a world that continued moving while their life stood still. Sometimes they need employment, housing, transportation, structure, or guidance. And sometimes they simply need someone to look beyond the worst decision they ever made and say, “I still see something in you.”

As Program Director, that is the environment Nefetari is committed to creating. One built on compassion without judgment, but also accountability without abandonment. She believes in meeting people where they are while refusing to leave them there. Her goal is not simply to help residents successfully complete a program it is to help them rediscover their worth, rebuild relationships, become self sufficient, create stability, and begin imagining a future they may have stopped believing was possible.

“I don’t want anyone who walks through our doors to believe their life is over because of what they’ve done, where they’ve been, or how much time they’ve lost. I want them to know that as long as they are still here, there is still time to become someone they are proud of. I know change is possible because I had to choose it for myself. Now, I want to be there when someone else chooses it too 

For Nefetari , this isn’t just a program.

It’s purpose. It’s redemption. It’s another chance to get life right and she believes everyone willing to do the work deserves the opportunity to try.

Nenzingha Davis is an entrepreneur and trailblazer dedicated to helping individuals rebuild their lives after incarceration, substance use challenges, and other difficult transitions. She created Change of Hearts Sober Living from the belief that every person deserves the opportunity to start over with dignity, structure, and support.

Her vision extends beyond providing a place to live. Nenzingha is building a community where individuals can restore hope, rebuild confidence, and renew their sense of purpose. Throughout her own journey, Nenzingha has turned obstacles into opportunities and built businesses while creating a public platform that inspires others to believe bigger for themselves.

She understands that real change begins when people are given consistent support and someone who believes in their potential. Her greatest passion is helping others see that their past does not define their future. She believes that when people are equipped with the proper guidance and opportunities, they can achieve goals they once thought were out of reach.

Her mission is to help every resident move beyond survival and toward a future filled with purpose, stability, and heights they may have never imagined possible.
