about s.o.s
VISION: To educate, inspire, and strengthen self-worth of individuals in need; to build bridges that will connect rich resources within the community where the youth and adults live in; to develop self-sufficiency along with strong family values for a better and closer-knit community.
PURPOSE: The primary purpose of the conference is to take a holistic approach to building better and stronger women while helping women find that one-of-a-kind special gift that is unique in each of us.
S.O.S. was founded by Clenetta Perry and co-chair Aljerious Sha’Cree (Cree) Holt divinely inspired by God. However, Lawrence (Eric) Austin is the assistant for the Mississippi conference. My job is to promote and to be a background coordinator.
Saving Our Sisters is in its second year of providing a holistic approach to helping and encouraging women. One of our main objectives is to reach women from homeless and domestic violence shelters and allowing them to participate free of charge.

lawrence eric austin, sr
Lawrence Eric Austin, Sr. was born and reared in Louisville, Kentucky. He is a proud graduate of Jefferson County Public School System. Son of Freda Austin, and father of one son, Lawrence Eric Austin II. Eric chose to give his life to God at an early age. He was baptized as a preteen at Shiloh Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Rev. H. M. Humphrey, Jr. Later in his adult life along with Freda, he opened a Dare to Care Food Pantry as well as performed van driving duties. He also became an ordained Deacon during this time period.
In 2007, Eric co-founded “THE PEARL IN YOU! OUTREACH”. The vision of this ministry is: to educate, inspire, and strengthen self-worth of individuals in need; to develop self-sufficiency along with strong family values for a better and close-knit community. This outreach is centered around women. The outreach has successfully hosted one women’s conference, one outdoor street revival, and multiple trips to Kentucky and Tennessee Correction Institutions for Women. One of the most gratifying missions of outreach is organizing what is called pop-up feeding. Food is cooked, packaged, and then distributed to homeless camps located in Louisville.
The most important fact to know is that Eric is a work in progress, and he is a child of God. His self made quote is “DREAM BIG, BUT REACH PAST YOUR DREAMS!”
