Working with DaVena Jordan and the team of Social Architects has been a transformative experience for Barre Belle. With unmatched professionalism and meticulous attention to detail, DaVena guided us through the development of a comprehensive Logic Model and Strategic Plan that truly captured the heart of our mission while illuminating the path forward. What sets DaVena apart is her caring yet no-nonsense approach—compassionate in her commitment to our vision, yet clear-eyed and direct in evaluating our systems and identifying opportunities for growth. Her ability to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and lead with both strategy and soul helped us refine our operations and reimagine our potential. Thanks to Social Architects, Barre Belle has emerged as a stronger, more focused organization. DaVena didn’t just help us plan for the future—she equipped us to rise to it.
