About Me

Bio

Dania Carter is the Founder/CEO of Heart of Courage a nonprofit organization founded in 2013. Dania was frustrated with hearing that there was a lack of foster care homes and she was tired of hearing about and seeing the increased numbers of children being removed from their homes, especially in minority communities. This frustration led Dania to start Heart of Courage, a nonprofit designed to help mothers who want a better life and want to fight for their families.  She believes that sometimes all a mother needs is someone to support them and believe in them. To let them know that you will walk with them in their journey. Dania has big dreams for Heart of Courage and hopes to continue to see it grow and have a bigger impact on the community.

Dania is a native Pennsylvania and graduated undergrad at Pennsylvania State University with a BS in Administration of Justice. She later went on to law school and graduated from Widener University Law School in Delaware, where our current President Joe Biden was an Adjunct Professor and gave the Commencement Speech at her graduation. Dania has recently decided to sit for the Texas Bar exam so that she can be a support to mothers legally. She hopes to begin working with incarcerated mothers in the very near future.

Dania is a proud mother to two children, two dogs and a bearded dragon. She has recently stepped into the role of Grammy with the birth of her granddaughter. During her down time Dania enjoys binge watching tv shows and has slowly began training again for her second sprint triathlon.
