The founder of this amazing organization is Zethea Bushelle-Thompson, originally from St. Philip, Barbados West Indies, began her journey in education and community service early on. After graduating from Princess Margaret High School and Christ Church High School, she worked as a teacher and later joined the National Conservation Commission in Barbados.
In 1990, Zethea immigrated to the United States and pursued her education at Monroe College, where she earned a degree in Word Processing and Office Technology. She then received a scholarship to Pace University, where she completed her BS in Office Information Systems. Continuing her academic journey, she earned an MS in Human Resource Management with Distinction from Long Island University, followed by a PhD in Pastoral Counseling and Leadership, along with an Honorary Doctorate of Ministry.
Throughout her academic pursuits, Zethea remained committed to community service, volunteering her time to tutor students and support various community initiatives. She founded the Social Service Department at New Hope Family Worship Center and volunteered extensively with children, immigrants, and individuals facing housing and mental health challenges.
Even while attending Pace University and Long Island University, Zethea continued her passion for volunteering, working with children in the East NY community and assisting families at the Queens One Stop Center. She later volunteered at the Bond Street Center, helping incarcerated individuals re-enter the workforce and providing resume writing skills.
Zethea’s dedication to community empowerment extends internationally, as she works with countries to revitalize agriculture through her company, Sowing Seeds Initiatives, founded in 2024.
Her ultimate vision is to strengthen the bond between the church and the community while revitalizing and empowering neighborhoods both locally and globally.
