As the Founder and Executive Director of Mother 2 Mother, she champions the needs of caregivers, providing them with the resources, education, and emotional support necessary to become strong advocates for their loved ones.

Her journey began with the birth of her son, Elijah, who was diagnosed with autism and complex medical conditions. Understanding the unique challenges that come with raising a child with special needs, Salina turned her personal experience into a mission to uplift other caregivers facing similar struggles. She believes that no one should have to walk this journey alone, and through Mother 2 Mother, she has built a supportive community that fosters resilience, advocacy, and hope.

Salina’s passion for service is deeply rooted in her own life experiences. Raised by a mother diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, she learned early on the importance of compassion, patience, and unwavering support.

Her efforts have been recognized nationally, earning her the National Nurses Coalition’s Unsung Heroes Award for her dedication to service.

Beyond her work with Mother 2 Mother, Salina is the founder of Matters of the Heart Christian Counseling Service, where she helps individuals overcome personal barriers and embrace healing through faith-based counseling. Her work extends to leading community outreach, advocating for policy changes to support caregivers, and creating educational initiatives that equip families with the tools they need to thrive.

Salina is a devoted wife to her husband, Robert, and a loving mother to her two sons, Elijah (20) and Eric (24). She is also the guardian of her granddaughters, BreYanna, who was recently diagnosed with ADHD and Ariel with Autism. Balancing her roles as a caregiver, mentor, and leader, she continues to pour into the lives of others with grace and determination.

When she’s not advocating or counseling, Salina enjoys reading, traveling, and spending quality time with her family. Her life’s work is a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and community, and she remains committed to ensuring that every caregiver and special needs family receives the support they deserve.
