From Survival to Dreams: Aisha's Journey with the In Her Hands Guaranteed Income Program

Aisha Amos has spent more than 20 years in Atlanta balancing entrepreneurship, family responsibilities, health challenges, and ongoing financial stress. When she learned about In Her Hands, a guaranteed income program created by the Georgia Resilience and Opportunity Fund, she finally found the stability she needed to rebuild.

In this video, Aisha shares her journey — from closing her salon due to health issues, to losing a job during restructuring, to navigating car trouble and supporting her son in college. With guaranteed income, she was able to stabilize her bills, protect her brother’s credit after he helped her secure a car, and return to school to pursue her long-held goal of earning a bachelor’s degree in film and entertainment.

In Her Hands provides guaranteed income to women in Atlanta’s English Avenue, Vine City, Washington Park, and Bankhead neighborhoods, offering financial flexibility without strict requirements. The program is designed to address income inequity and allow participants to make decisions that best support their households.
