  • Katia Reyes Aponte

    PRESIDENT/FOUNDER

    I earned my Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Clemson University, with a concentration in the Life Sciences. My passion for women’s health and empowerment was deeply inspired by my mother — a woman who showed me the strength it takes to fight for opportunity, education, and stability. Watching her navigate life’s challenges with grace and determination shaped my commitment to helping women access the resources, knowledge, and community they deserve.

    Through my studies and continued training in women’s health, maternal education, and mental health aid, I’ve come to understand that true empowerment begins far before a doctor’s visit — it starts in our communities. That belief led me to found BeYOUtiful, a nonprofit dedicated to equipping women with education, encouragement, and holistic support to help them thrive in every area of life.

    At BeYOUtiful, I’m committed to creating spaces where women are seen, supported, and celebrated — where they are reminded that their stories matter, their voices hold power, and their potential is limitless.

  • Daisha Jackson

    VICE PRESIDENT

    My name is Daisha Jackson, and I am Vice President of BeYOUtiful. I hold a bachelor’s in psychology, with plans to complete a graduate program in social work. I am a certified yoga instructor and womb wellness educator. I am passionate about BeYOUtiful’s mission to support, educate, and reduce stigmatization in women’s well-being and education by diversifying curriculums and offering a fresh perspective on women’s health.

    Incorporating my psychology background, I understand the necessity of prioritizing both cultural and social perspectives in a representative way. As a woman of color, finding spaces that not only hear but truly see me for who I have healed me and supported my growth. At BeYOUtiful, our mission is to provide support and educational opportunities in all areas of life so individuals can feel both heard and seen.

    No topic is taboo or unacceptable to discuss. It is an open, inclusive, and nonjudgmental environment. As Vice President, I plan to contribute to BeYOUtiful through the implementation of wellness curriculums, facilitating meaningful conversations beneath the surface, and managing resources effectively.

  • Nicole Alexandra

    SECRETARY

    As a first-generation student, my accomplishments were fueled by a deep desire to succeed, long before I fully understood the power of connection, engagement, and community.

    With a Master’s in Public Health from Brown University, I have innovatively seen how social and community contexts shape our well-being and opportunities. That understanding inspired my passion for helping people and organizations communicate with purpose. Through my company, Those Around You, I help individuals, small businesses, and executives tell their stories through authentic, human-centered communication, creating space for raw, meaningful conversations that drive real connection.

    At BeYOUtiful, I am committed to ensuring women are not only empowered with resources and relationships, but that they are heard. As Secretary, I aim to support this mission through storytelling, communications, and events that remind women they are not alone, their circumstances are not ignored, and their potential impact is limitless.
