Meet our founder, Chimere McCassling.
An entrepreneur, model, and mother with 20+ years in the fashion and apparel industry and recently expanding to culinary arts, Chimere leverages her extensive experience in both corporate and nonprofits settings to launch Unconditionally Loved.
Formed in 2023, Unconditionally Loved is a social enterprise that prepares young people to thrive under a suite of customized services delivered to nonprofits and individuals based on Chimere’s lived experience as a teen mother at the age of 13. Chimere is effective in building a pathway forward for teens because she is relatable and made a pathway for herself. Chimere is the mother of two sons, ages 25 and 6, and resides in the Bronx, New York.
“Traditional therapists and coaches do not breakthrough to the girls like Chimere does because most haven’t walked in their shoes.”
—Monique Thomas, Executive Director, Cornerstone Corporation, a place-based community development corporation, and childhood friend of Chimere
