​Scarlet was a corporate trainer for a fortune 500 company for 30 years and was instrumental in the development of programs for Regis Corporation, JC Penney, Ulta Corporation and Great Clips. She was a strategic planner for the profitability for each entity listed. Traveling to and from New York it appeared her future was set, but God had other plans for her.

Scarlet was asked to go out with her church to help them with the "Prostitution Ministry" she gladly said "yes". That evening Scarlet found herself hiding behind a hotel attempting to protect a woman who had just been pistol whipped by her pimp. Scarlet felt limited in helping that woman. Driving home Scarlet was wrecked by what she experienced. In 2012 Scarlet founded Women of Alabaster. In 2015 she left her corporate position to work in full-time ministry in Over the Rhine in Cincinnati, OH. 

As the Director of Women of Alabaster, Scarlet directs the ministry and business of Women of Alabaster. Her skills and duties include: Integrating trauma informed care to the organization, budget planning and stewardship, vision casting, directing strategic programming, managing donor and relational partnerships. Scarlet also works directly with volunteers, equipping them to serve in the Day Center and on the Street Ministry teams. Currently, she leads the Street Ministry teams.   ​

Jackie Feldkamp - Downtown Cincinnati Day Center Coordinator 

For 21+ years Jackie worked as a hairdresser and for the past 9 years she's been a private care giver to the elderly. It's safe to say that every client and patient Jackie attended to benefited from her big heart, because she loves ALL people.
​In 2018 God sent Jackie to Women of Alabaster. Jackie said she knew God wanted her to serve our hurting and victimized friends on the streets. She said she was to 'pray for them, walk along side of them,  encourage them, and let them know God’s heart for them.' Jackie has done that and more. There is nothing she won't do to love our friends and support the mission of Women of Alabaster.  

What scripture does Jackie lean on? 
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
