Our Story

Thrive Tribe was founded by Executive Director Toia Potts, whose life was forever changed after losing her two oldest children, being wrongfully charged, and incarcerated for over eight months on an unattainable bond. Unfortunately, she lost her parental rights to her boys even after all charges were dismissed.

That experience exposed the deep harm within the family policing and criminal legal systems. But it also ignited a purpose: to ensure no parent has to navigate that fight alone.

Thrive Tribe was created as a safe space, support system, and strategic resource hub for parents fighting for their children…offering not just hope, but a plan.

Our logo is a heart, but it has so many pieces tied together to make the whole. Family is lineage. Family is love. Family can also be complicated. Thrive Tribe provides the needs and means to keep it together and keep it rooted in love.
