Background/Summary: 

The House of Loveillionaires Inc. was birthed from what occurred during the course of Mrs. Sabrina Harris bravely ending my abusive marriage while endeavoring to pick up what seemed like millions of tiny pieces and mend my life back together in a healthy and whole manner. I will never forget those who helped me during those challenging and uncertain times to include: God, family, friends, supervisors, co-workers, medical professionals, law enforcement, attorneys, mental health professionals, domestic violence shelters, safe houses in the community, strangers and the list goes on. I would have never been able to navigate my way to freedom and a new life without those who were a bridge over troubled waters for me and my children, and I promised God that if he spared my life and helped me start over anew, that I would make it a point to share his love and be that same bridge for others to cross safely over after incidents of violent victimization and beyond. I left my abusive situation in 2010, and the House of Loveillionaires Inc. was birthed in 2013, and I am proud to offer that we have served hundreds of men and women during their time of need, and we are unspeakably excited about the future.

 

The “HOUSE OF LOVEILLIONAIRES INC.” a community-based organization which utilizes: education, empowerment, social activism, conflict resolution, advocacy, crisis intervention, developmental training, social enterprise and grassroots project collaborations as a means to educate, inspire, motivate, support and rejuvenate our primary target populations of mature adult women, young adult women, in addition to teen and adolescent young girls adversely impacted by unexpected life challenges and in need of a soul healing, guidance and support.

This “unconventional ministry” undertakes a deliberately multi-faceted approach towards goal accomplishment including (but not limited to): seminars, webinars, podcasts, videos, empowerment forums, social projects, professional counseling, support groups, published literature, spoken word artistry and beauty-enhancement projects all intentionally designed to assist all participants to connect with their greater self, process and release their pain and shame, in addition to tapping into their dominate will to survive, thrive and rise on a more meaningful level.

SABRINA HARRIS, President, Chief Executive Officer & Creative Strategist is a woman of grace-filled purpose, and she is both a servant and transformational leader on a dedicated mission to help find and unveil sustaining alternatives, spark mind shifts, ignite soul healing, offer unconditional love and lend dedicated support to a world that is crying out for a new day and a new way. To effectively and efficiently accomplish the mission set forth, Sabrina has rallied a diverse team of accomplished professionals who each work tirelessly in direct support of the organization’s mission and goals. These professionals both individually and collectively bring to the community outreach table an expansive array of purpose, expertise, experience, determination and dedication, and they are deeply honored for each opportunity to work committedly for the advancement and betterment of the people and our community at large.

Inside the HOUSE OF LOVEILLIONAIRES INC., we proudly afford access to individual, family and group therapy, in addition to crisis intervention with concentrated focus on: mental health awareness, trauma-informed care, domestic violence and abuse, sexual assault/rape awareness, addictions and recovery, suicide prevention awareness, family systems sustainability, holistic wellness approaches and conflict resolution. There is no “cookie-cutter” approach undertaken as each person and situation are considered and addressed on a “case-by-case” basis with referrals for wraparound support ensured as deemed necessary.

We also utilize our creative talents and expertise to design “tastefully chic” apparel, videos, informational handouts and novelty items all of which promote “faith-based” and “socially-relevant” messages of inspiration and empowerment. We are unspeakably proud of all our creations; however, our signature tee shirts are our favorite as there is nothing more fashion-savvy and creatively expressive than casual wear which appeals to one’s eyes and soul. Our fashion motto is “In the House of Loveillionaires, we strive to internalize positive messages on the inside, while wearing them fashionably on the outside.” All proceeds generated from these sales are recycled to support the continuum of services provided on a cost-effective or cost-free basis.

We welcome you into our HOUSE OF LOVE with arms wide open, and we pray that you enjoy your stay.
