Empowering Foster Families through Affirmations and Love with DANI WASHINGTON!!!

Dani is an EmpowerMeant Guide and the visionary creator of the

“IAmLoved EmpowerMeant Program,residing in the vibrant Austin, Texas area with my musically gifted family. As a wife and mother of three, our life is a melody of nurturing talents and exploring creativity, with each family member bringing their unique musical gift. Her professional journey in Early Childhood Education, from her beginnings at a childcare center in Wichita, KS, to roles as an Early Childhood Education Center Director in Texas, has profoundly influenced her understanding of the importance of early learning in children’s development.

 In 2019, Dani’s path took a heartfelt turn when her family embraced kinship foster care, which transitioned into a permanent caregiving role. This personal experience deeply influenced her approach to supporting families navigating the foster care system. The “IAmLoved EmpowerMeant Program” was born from a combination of Dani’s professional insights and personal challenges with self-esteem. Understanding the power of affirmations in fostering confidence and resilience, she designed the program to elevate, encourage, and empower through positive affirmations, transforming it into a journey of self-acceptance and empowerment.

Dani also developed the, “Foster Accountability”app, a tool designed to help foster and kinship parents streamline the administrative paperwork of foster care, reducing time and stress for families and enabling a greater focus on nurturing relationships and personal growth. Dani’s vision is to see families of all structures thrive in environments where each member is empowered to face life’s challenges with confidence. Through her “IAmLoved EmpowerMeant Program” and related tools, Dani is dedicated to turning this vision into a reality.
