Meet the Founder
II’m Rita L Tate, a Wife and Mother, and also a graduate of Youngstown State University with an Associate and Bachelors in criminal justice with a minor in social work.
I am passionate about Bess Purpose Incorporated because I witnessed domestic violence first hand as a child and understand its impact all too well. My hope is to change the mindset of women that find themselves in this situation, empowering and giving them hope, encouraging them that there is help and they don’t have to stay in a domestic violence relationship through the services we provide at Bess Purpose!
