About the Founder
The passion behind Focused Confidence Foundation is rooted in three foundational pillars: education, mentorship, and workshops. Our founder, Esterlene N. Dukes, has witnessed firsthand the challenges families face when students need academic support but lack the financial resources to access tutoring and educational services. She believes that every student deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.
Esterlene also recognizes the power of mentorship and the importance of meaningful connections. She embraces every opportunity to encourage, guide, and mentor others, understanding that sometimes people simply need someone to help them identify opportunities, make connections, and navigate their path forward.
Additionally, Esterlene and her husband, Cedric, are passionate about sharing the knowledge and experiences that have contributed to their personal growth and success. Through interactive workshops, they hope to equip others with practical tools and insights in areas such as marriage enrichment, financial planning, time management, and goal setting.
Focused Confidence Foundation was established to turn these passions into purpose by creating opportunities, building meaningful relationships, and providing resources that empower individuals to grow academically, personally, and professionally.
