About Dream2b
Over 10 years of building communities, fulfilling dreams, and serving those who need it most.
Our Mission
Dream2b is dedicated to helping single women, women with children, and our respective communities through educational and performance art programs and social support services — including mental health awareness, domestic violence and sexual assault support, and assistance with food, clothing, and shelter.
Our Vision
We envision communities where women are empowered, children are supported, and every individual has access to the resources they need to thrive. Dream2b collaborates with leaders and organizations to offer programs and services at various levels of support to our community residents.
Our Objective
To empower individuals and enhance their quality of life through education, social support, and artistic expression through performance arts — creating lasting impact that extends far beyond the programs themselves.
Founded on Faith, Fueled by Purpose
Dream2b was founded by Ceola J. Griffin — rooted in her lifelong passion for women's empowerment and child welfare. What began as a personal vision to support vulnerable women and children grew into a full-service nonprofit organization making measurable community impact.
Ceola's journey in community advocacy began in 1999 and expanded into the formal nonprofit sector in 2013. For many years, she served in leadership roles within her church — overseeing community outreach initiatives and events that directly impacted the lives of those in need. That spirit of service became the foundation of Dream2b.
Lorraine T. Lewis joined the mission because she and Ceola shared the same compassion and passion for helping women and children. Together, they built something greater — and alongside a dedicated team of board members bringing decades of experience across entertainment, theater, counseling, and business, Dream2b has become a trusted pillar of community support in Brentwood, California and beyond.

This outreach is an extension of our core belief: that every person is seen, valued, and worthy of support. It is Dream2b's heart made visible.
