Our Mission
We are a faith-filled mentorship non-profit organization for young girls in the South Bay region of Southern California. So Loved is actively mentoring, providing leadership development, life-skills training, academic support, and spiritual growth from the empowering Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe all girls should be loved, encouraged, empowered, and ignited in their individual creativity.
Our Story
"So Loved" those were the two simple words that God spoke to Stacey Erosa's heart in 2015 as she waited at the stop light on the intersection of 1st and Gaffey Street in San Pedro. Her first response to God was, " What are you talking about?" After spending time with God it became clear to Stacey that God was leading her to raise up a generation of young girls who would walk in purity and holiness; using their creativity and unique expressions to honor God, live free from darkness, and pointed into their destiny.
It was time to mentor the next generation of leaders to reflect God's goodness and righteousness. God hand picked mentors with the same passion and faith to copartner with His vision. This sisterhood community would be called So Loved.
Meet Our Mentors
Meet Mentor Stacey Erosa
Stacey is born and raised locally in San Pedro, CA. She has a passionate heart to mentor the next generation of young women in the Truth of God’s Word, to grow into their full potential, and destiny. Stacey loves her family who has loyally supported the dream of So Loved Foundation. She discovered a passion to teach the love of God serving in the children’s ministry at her church Harbor Christian Center in Wilmington, CA. The joy of seeing children and youth of all ages ignited a fire within to be sure the ones God placed in her care would know without a shadow of a doubt the love, hope, and eternal salvation in our Lord Jesus Christ, that there is more to life for them than their current situation, but a special destiny with a unique plan and purpose. Stacey taught in Early Childhood Education as a Preschool Teacher, Casual Long shores in the Port of Los Angeles, and works as a Health Coach. She desires to see the South Bay area break limitations and raise a standard of what has been to what can be for the next generation to come out of the crowd, embrace who they are and not blend in but grow up to their full potential, and change the world. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
