Destiny has worked in the child welfare sector since 2011. She served as an Investigator and Investigation Supervisor for the Texas Department of Family & Protective Services - Residential Childcare Licensing Division. Destiny has many years of professional experience with agencies serving the foster care population.
Over the course of her career, Destiny identified the needs of youth and families in underserved demographics. She witnessed foster parents dedicating their lives to foster youth without adequate guidance. Parents and guardians lacked appropriate support, training, and necessary tools which essentially placed youth and parents at risk of instability.
Destiny's life purpose is to work hands-on with families, youth, and young adults. Her goal is to educate while providing tangible resources to families. Destiny has collaborated with many local Organizations over the years and is a major contributor in the Dallas community.
Destiny's story of why she created DGHI along with her professional background, defines her ability to serve the community and help those who need her the most.

Ta'Kedrian Morgan is a Blood Bank Medical Technologist certified by the American Society of Clinical Pathology. She works in Transfusion Medicine, providing service to the Dallas county community in a local hospital. She is a Dallas native who studied and received a Bachelor's in Biology from Howard University in 2009. After graduating, she worked for Carter Bloodcare, American Red Cross, and a hospital in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
The aspect of serving and helping others has always appealed to her since adolescence. Whether it was volunteering in Labor and Delivery, the Emergency Room at local hospitals, or through service in church, she always found ways to serve those in need. Her ability to focus, pay attention to detail, and experience with organization allows her to provide great support to people when they need it most.
In recent years, she encountered foster children and was exposed to some of the lack of resources and support needed by foster parents and children. She desires to do her part in aiding and assisting the foster care system by serving and connecting with this strong, but often vulnerable population.
