I AM YOU, INC. BEGAN...
I Am You, Inc. started as a social movement in 2015 with a goal to promote peace and unify our community. In 2017, our Founder, Crystal DuPree, was inspired to transform I Am You into a nonprofit organization. The organization was then restructured, and the Transformational Development Program was created—a core part of our mission.
​
I Am You, Inc. is dedicated to fostering personal transformation and strengthening families and communities, especially those facing crisis. Through empowering programs and compassionate support, we help individuals heal, grow, and overcome challenges. By nurturing resilience and connection, we work to build stronger, healthier communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
​
The words I Am You are more than just a name or statement—they are a call to action, a reminder, and an encouragement to transform ourselves in order to transform our world.
INSPIRATION...
I Am You, Inc. was created to be what so many of us have needed at some point—a place of hope, healing, and connection during life’s most difficult moments. Shaped by lived experience, the organization is grounded in the belief that transformation begins with self-awareness, is fueled by hope, and becomes possible through support, understanding, and community.
​
Its roots also draw from the powerful example of strong family bonds and lifelong friendships. The love, loyalty, and togetherness demonstrated by those early role models became the blueprint for what I Am You, Inc. strives to reflect today—a deep sense of unity that inspires people to stand for one another and build something stronger, together.
