As a young child, Alison grew up watching her grandmother, the Honorable Hazel Snipes Parson-Starkes serve as mayor of her hometown, Ridgeville SC. This allowed her a front row seat to watch what a strong, determined, well rounded woman looked like. Unbeknownst to her, life was preparing for her purpose, even during that time.

Alison believes that her most powerful tool is her willingness to become transparent, in an effort to help other women discover that they aren't alone in their journey to healing and wholeness. Because of this, she has been able to cross the boundaries of religion, socio-economic & cultural differences, and reach and touch women from all walks of life.
