About Us
Taking Up Spaces Global (TUSSGlobal) is a purpose-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit rooted in faith, healing, and empowerment, based in New Jersey.
Inspired by our founder’s personal journey through marriage, career uncertainty, financial rebuilding, infertility, and motherhood—including the miraculous birth of her child at 28 weeks and enduring 74 days in the NICU—TUSSGlobal exists to ensure no woman walks such paths alone. What kept her grounded was the strength of her community, and her mission now is to create safe spaces where women navigating similar journeys can connect, engage, and become healed, hopeful, and whole.
Women often face deeply personal and silent struggles while balancing the demands of work, faith, identity, and ambition. We believe every woman deserves genuine sisterhood, connection, accountability, and space to show up as her best self. At TUSSGlobal, you are welcomed as you are and supported as you grow.
Our mission is to empower women through faith-rooted healing and authentic community, creating safe and sacred spaces where they can connect, grow, and reclaim their wholeness with hope and strength.
