Meet the Founder

My name is Janea A. Young and I am the founder of ONE STEP FORWARD, THE MOVEMENT. Once considered a victim, I am a 4 year Domestic Violence survivor. I am newly married, mother and author of the book, "Janea's Journey, Breaking the Chains of Domestic Violence".


I noticed as I was going through counseling, there were not very many support groups I could reach out to in between sessions. That is when I came up with the idea of creating ONE STEP FORWARD, THE MOVEMENT. OSFTM was birth out of my passion of wanting to help others, like myself, navigate life after Domestic Violence. My goal is to encourage women, men & young adults that in order to move ONE STEP FORWARD, you must Heal your Hurts & Find Peace💜
