This Local Jewelry and Skin Care Company Has ‘Soul’

"Khadeejah Honesty embodies the spirit of Sōultry. It's the Arlington designer's one-stop shop for the soul," Northern Virginia magazine reports.

"The idea came from her journey," which included Doorways helping her transition from homelessness into her own apartment.

Domestic Violence Survivors Urgently Need Housing Stability and Solutions during the Pandemic

"Lack of safe housing is one of the primary barriers survivors face when leaving abusive partners and COVID-19 heightens this barrier. Now, survivors often face the difficult decision of staying in their home with an abusive partner or leaving and facing a tumultuous housing and economic landscape."

"The wave of evictions predicted to follow the end of federal and state moratoriums will doubly affect Black women who are survivors of abuse, who are already disproportionately represented in the homeless population."
