Our Great Story
Our Great Story
I've been faced with many obstacles in life as many of us have, thinking for every one of them "That's life". And at some point I realized that is so far from the truth, what a relief! Once I had my aha moment I just had to let the rest of the world know, to me it was like having a really big secret and finally I was allowed to share it with so many people, so them their selves could work towards having their aha moment! I have several years experience in the mental health field but even better I had 40 years experience of life and not a pleasant one, so I began with creating a podcast to bring awareness to the realities of the life I was living the life my neighbors in my community were living and right form the start the mission completely changed. My name is Seleda Simmons , I am the founder of The Real Deal 610 and through the grace of god this nonprofit organization has the opportunity to service our community in several areas that are attributed to poverty along with an outstanding team of experts with the experience and passion. to serve Reading, Pa. Being firm believers in working together we have over 20 community partners from all over the city with the same vision making our city great!
