Charmaine E. Betty-Singleton (CBS) was born in Kingston, Jamaica and raised in Laurelton, New York.

Charmaine is humbled by this opportunity to be used by God and follow the example set by her parents. Charmaine’s parents told her that with God, faith, hard work, patience, and perseverance one could obtain one’s dreams/goals. Additionally, Charmaine grew up hearing the expression “No man is an island” and witnessed her parents consistently opening their home and helping family, friends, and sometimes perfect strangers. Charmaine’s parents instilled in her a sense of commitment, even an obligation to help/serve others.

At the age of seventeen (and while she attended college and law school), her father, an accountant for the City of New York Higher Education Program, invited Charmaine to be the guest speaker for those students who obtained their GED. These speaking engagements occurred in Harlem, New York and sometimes Rikers Island. It was from these experiences that Charmaine realized the power of positive thinking and how important it is to encourage and support others no matter the circumstance. More important, she learned that God could use anyone (even a young seventeen-year-old student) to help others and that she had a way with words.  Her words healed.

Charmaine is a veteran, lawyer, and an ordained minister and has recently been promoted retroactively to Colonel. Charmaine strongly believes that with God ALL things are possible and wishes to “die empty” successfully fulfilling ALL that God has called her to do.
