We are excited to honor Ericka Stephens-Smith!

The Smith-Stephens Family came to Harambe around 2005. At Harambee, we found an extended family. Over a span of more than 10 years, we volunteered in several capacities such as PTF President, Board Chair, afterschool directors, and so on. Under the direction of Harlan Redmond, Regg & Ericka became staff working as summer camp cooks/drivers, executive chefs, and event coordinator of The PUSH by Harambee, an executive assistant, and more. Their 3 sons were a part of the junior staff and The PUSH by Harambee staff. It was an honor and a privilege to serve at Harambee and to be a positive influence on the families.

The celebration doesn’t stop with our Block Party! We are excited to honor Harlan Redmond! He served at Harambee from 2005-2007 and 2011-2018. Harlan shared with us, “What a gift it was to have the opportunity to serve at Harambee and live in community on the corner of Howard and Navarro. My family will always cherish the impact the Harambee community has had on our lives. To follow in the footsteps of John and Vera Mae Perkins and so many leaders after him is something that I will forever cherish. Ultimately, it is the relationships that were built and forged through community that I feel will leave a lasting impact on my family for generations. It is because of those relationships that I am forever grateful for there being a Harambee. A place where people can dwell together in unity no matter what is happening in the world.”

Join us in honoring Tara-Lin Hollins as part of our 40 year anniversary celebration.

Tara-lin Hollins stumbled upon Harambee Ministries while in High School, she was looking for a job after school. When she applied for a job of course she only had one intention in mind. The staff at Harambee opened her eyes to a whole plethora of resources she was unaware existed right down the street from her childhood home. She thought she would just work a few hours a week to save money, instead she first volunteered that built her commitment to Harambee’s mission, attended weekly Bible Study that fostered her faith, and attended weekly College Preparatory classes that laid the foundation of her future career. Harambee became a vital part of her life. The staff at Harambee banded together to help Tara-lin every step of her High School, College, and Professional Career. Charlotte Van Fleet drove endless miles to preview colleges with Tara-lin, and made sure financial support was available to cover the price of Tara-lin’s education. Her Bible Study teacher, Flo, made sure Tara-lin had a focused and encouraging Bible Study group on campus at USC to continue Tara-lin’s growth in Christ. Rudy and Koffe Carrasco make sure Tara-lin had a strong recommendation and support for college and graduate school. Everyone at Harambee had a welcoming smile and encouraging words for Tara-lin along her journey. Tara-lin Hollins, MD is a double board certified Anesthesiologist and Pain Management Physician with a BS in Kinesiology from USC today because of the infinite love, tireless support, and unwavering encouragement of Harambee. The people of Harambee selflessly do God’s work every single day. They all come together and push with intention and purpose.
