Porshe Taylor - Founder of FTIO (From The Inside Out)

On the fast track of reaching her highest potential, Porshe Taylor has utilized her resources and willpower to overcome the obstacles in her life. At one point she felt chained down by her dependence on alcohol coupled with a 15-year cigarette habit. Porshe turned to God and broke free from the unyielding grasp of her addiction; her response was to fight and get free. When God removed the taste of alcohol from her tongue and relieved her craving for tobacco, Porshe finally found peace within. She completed therapy which helped to remove the veil of addiction from her eyes. This allowed Porshe to receive a message from God while she slept and as a result of that night’s encounter, she gave birth to FTIO (From-The Inside-Out) Starting with just a website, Porshe followed God's Instruction and began building her organization. Prison From-theInside-Out Inc. now serves 7 California Prisons with rehabilitative self help programs and are growing every day. Porshe Taylor is now the first African American woman to create a nonprofit organization that supplies correctional institutions with innovative and rehabilitative curriculums that have been approved and funded by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). As of 2021 Porshe purchased her first home and opened The Mary Mac Homes Transitional services. Named after her auntie who aspired to work in the reentry field prior to her passing. Law school is Porshe's next educational venture while she continues toward her goals of completing God’s purpose for her life.
