Rooted in Resilience: Aelicia ‘Chocolate’ Watson’s Journey with Redeemed Women
Aelicia “Chocolate” Watson is no stranger to adversity– but even more so, she’s no stranger to hope. As the Founder and CEO of Redeemed Women, Chocolate is on a mission to walk alongside women in Dallas’ Bonton neighborhood and beyond, offering the same compassion and strength that helped her overcome teen pregnancy, cancer, abuse, and homelessness.
Chocolate’s impact even reached our Dallas Doing Good Fellow, Angelica, who first met her during her time at Cornerstone Crossroads Academy. That encounter left a lasting impression and inspired Angelica to feature Chocolate for Women’s History Month. In this conversation, Chocolate shares how her personal journey led to the creation of Redeemed Women, and why she believes healing, joy, and community are possible for every woman, no matter her past.
