Ms. Oudkerk is a powerful force for good in the work environment. Hence, she uses her positive attitude, calm demeanor, imagination, indefatigable enthusiasm and devotion to create and maintain the therapeutic atmosphere conducive to healing people of African descent. Further, Ms. Oudkerk encourages team members to be their best selves through radical self-care. She firmly believes that self-care is or ought to be a revolutionary act. She therefore attempts to integrate this awareness in every work activity; whether it’s interacting with clients and/or helping team members to see the therapeutic benefits derived from preparing and cooking plant-based meals or understanding the utility value in the tranquil or soothing music, aromatherapy and lighted candles in the therapeutic environment, symbolizing that healing begins the moment one enters the sacred space.  Bottom line: Ms. Oudkerk supports and encourages her team members to succeed at accomplishing the agency’s vision: “Healing the community one family at a time.”

Ms. Oudkerk is inspired daily with the exhilaration stemming from her village of likeminded sisters, friends and family members. In her free time, she likes taking long walks, cooking, reading and listening to educational and inspiring podcasts.
