“The Discovering Diamonds Talent Search is our way of intentionally focusing on capacity and gifts in a neighborhood characterized as crime ridden and lacking resources. Discovering Diamonds promotes individual and community pride, feelings of success, and a sense of safety that comes from gathering and participating in a shared positive experience.”, said Megan Rollins, Interim CEO of Boaz & Ruth.
