Today we’d like to introduce you to Tiffany Fisher.
Hi Tiffany, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
In 2015, I said yes to something that scared me.
At the time, I was part of an online Bible study with a few business partners—nothing out of the ordinary, just women gathering virtually to grow in faith together. When the study ended, the group leader reached out to me privately. She told me she had enjoyed my contributions and believed I should consider leading a study of my own.
The suggestion caught me completely off guard. Leadership in that way was far outside my comfort zone. Still, I felt nudged to try. I posted a simple question on social media asking if any women would be interested in studying the Bible with me. I expected a handful of responses.
Instead, I was met with an overwhelming yes.
What began as a one time plan quickly turned into something much bigger. After our first study concluded, a mother from my church shared that she’d had a dream about me—one where she saw pages continuing to turn, as if the story was far from over. That image stayed with me. And from it, Daughters of Esther was born, named after the very first study the group completed together.
Women from multiple cities across North Carolina joined us. Week after week, we gathered via Zoom to study God’s Word, forming deep connections despite the distance. After our first year, I did what comes naturally to me—I celebrated. We hosted an in person birthday celebration, finally giving us the chance to meet face to face.
When photos from that gathering hit social media, the response was immediate: “I want to come next time.”
A close friend pulled me aside and said something that would change everything:
“Tiffany, you’re a connector of people. You should think about hosting more events. Women will show up.”
I had never imagined myself doing anything like that. But after prayer and reflection, I took another leap of faith and hosted my first Breakfast with Tiffany.
It was designed as a pause—a morning where women could step away from the noise of everyday life and pour into one another. A space for motivation, inspiration, and genuine support. That breakfast didn’t just fill a room; it sparked a movement.
From those gatherings, The Fisher Projects was born.
What started as breakfast conversations grew into community action. Our first initiative, Strong Girls, launched in partnership with the local school system. The after school program focuses on fourth and fifth grade girls, teaching life skills, confidence, and etiquette—tools they can carry long after the school bell rings.
Our second initiative, A Night of Honor, became an annual celebration recognizing trailblazing women in our community—women living out the very mission we strive to embody: serving where we live and work.
Through nonprofit leadership and my work as a business co owner at the time, I found myself increasingly invited into rooms where decisions were being made. I was asked to serve on several boards across the City of High Point, opportunities that affirmed the power of showing up consistently and leading with purpose.
Today, my nonprofit serves the community and two local schools. I serve as a Commissioner with the Human Relations Council, chair the Personnel Committee for High Point Discovered, sit on the Board of Directors for Downtown High Point, and was most recently appointed as a Commissioner for the High Point Housing Authority.
I am a proud alumna of High Point University. In 2025, I was honored as the Female Achiever of the Year for the City of High Point, nominated by the MLK Committee. And most recently, I launched my podcast, Transparency with Tiffany—a space created for real conversations with women doing real life things.
Looking back, it’s clear that none of this began with a grand plan. It began with a willingness to step outside my comfort zone, to say yes before I felt ready, and to trust that obedience—no matter how small—can open the door to impact far greater than imagined.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey has not been a smooth one. If there’s one thing life guarantees, it’s that it will always be lifing in one way or another.
In the early days of Daughters of Esther and Breakfast with Tiffany, bringing women together felt almost effortless. Creating safe, welcoming spaces came naturally. But once we officially launched as a nonprofit, I encountered a challenge I hadn’t anticipated—fundraising.
I had been surrounded by so much encouragement and affirmation that I assumed financial support would follow just as easily. After all, the mission was solid, the impact was visible, and the need was undeniable. But reality quickly proved otherwise. Raising money was difficult. Securing grants for a startup organization was even harder. What I imagined would be “easy peasy” required resilience, persistence, and a thickened skin I was still developing.
At the same time, I was juggling more than most people could see.
I was a single mother raising my son, working a demanding full-time job, and building what had quietly become my passion project—all at once. Time always felt scarce. There were moments when I missed spending time with friends or arrived late to my son’s basketball games, heart heavy with guilt but determined to keep going. Nights grew longer, mornings came faster, and rest became a luxury I postponed with the mindset of sleep when you’re dead.
Then life shifted again.
I met the man I believed I would spend the rest of my life with. We married—and later separated. That season ushered in anxiety, depression, and an overwhelming wave of self-doubt. I questioned my judgment, my purpose, and whether I still had the strength to continue. There were moments when I wondered if my season of impact had quietly come to an end.
What I didn’t realize then was that it wasn’t ending at all.
It was beginning—again.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
By day, I often joke that I live a very different life.
Professionally, I am an HR leader—a Senior Project Manager overseeing a team in Benefits Administration. I’ve spent the last 19 years in this field, navigating complex systems, leading people, and ensuring that work behind the scenes truly supports the lives of others.
But when the workday ends—and sometimes long after it should—I step into the role that defines my heart.
By night, I am the Executive Director of The Fisher Projects, a nonprofit based in High Point, North Carolina. Our mission is simple, yet deeply intentional: to create environments where women and young girls from all walks of life can connect, motivate, inspire, and support one another—so we can collectively serve the communities where we live and work.
This is the work I am most known for. And without question, it is the work I am most proud of.
In a world that often insists women—particularly Black women—can’t work together, that we compete instead of collaborate, that we tear each other down rather than lift one another up, I live every day committed to proving that narrative wrong. I believe we are a force to be reckoned with when we partner, when we link arms, and when we lead together. When women collaborate, we don’t just talk about change—we make it happen.
That belief is my mantra. It’s what sets me apart. I want to see everyone win, and I’m willing to show up, do the work, and stand in support to make that possible.
Serving my community isn’t just an honor—it’s a responsibility I carry with pride. And making a difference in the lives of women and young girls is not simply what I do; it’s who I am.
What matters most to you?
Making an impact in the lives of the young girls we serve matters more to me than anything else.
I grew up in a loving home. I was popular, surrounded by friends, and—at least from my perspective—well provided for. My mother would later remind me that I didn’t always see the sacrifices being made behind the scenes. What I did know was that while there was love, there weren’t many spaces for deep, meaningful conversations. It simply wasn’t how our household operated.
This generation, however, is different.
Today’s girls are navigating pressures we couldn’t have imagined—especially in a world shaped by social media, where carefully curated images fuel comparison and quietly chip away at confidence and self esteem. That reality makes the work we do even more critical.
Being able to create a safe space where girls can speak freely about their dreams, share their fears, and confide in trusted adults about what they need—that is what fuels me to keep going, and to go even harder. It’s where purpose meets urgency.
I’m incredibly proud that we offer more than programming. We offer real conversations. We bring in real people with real stories. And most importantly, we provide real support—unfiltered, affirming, and rooted in genuine care.
In a world full of noise, our goal is simple: to make sure these girls are seen, heard, and reminded of who they are before the world tries to tell them otherwise.
