where it started
Empowering Youth, Enriching Communities
Founded in New York City by a passionate advocate for immigrant and underserved youth, Smiling Hearts Matter began from the belief that every child deserves belonging, pride, justice, and opportunity. Inspired by personal and community experiences, SHM was launched to serve as both a safe place and springboard/foundation for future leaders.
While Smiling Hearts Matter is led by a passionate advocate deeply committed to supporting French-speaking and African diaspora communities, we recognize the importance of professional expertise in education, youth development, multicultural programming, business management, and immigration support. We collaborate with trusted advisors and community partners who bring this specialized knowledge, and we are dedicated to continuous learning and growth to best serve our clients and community.
