Darling M. Scarbrough, Director

Darling’s passion for women and the community at large comes from her own personal tragedies and triumphs. A survivor of domestic violence, homelessness and hopelessness,she is a self-described ‘Diva-preneur’ who is keenly aware of the problems and pressures of the ‘everyday Diva’. A native of Pittsburgh, PA, Darling lost her 2 year old daughter to domestic violence in 1986. Eventually, after attending Duff''s Business Institute and Point Park College, respectively, she began a corporate career in title insurance that spanned over 21 years and 5 states. After the Great Recession, Darling relocated to Denver, CO where she now operates a small business consulting business and distributes a line of women's personal protection products. However, her passion is working within the female homeless population of Greater Denver.
