Assisted over 10,000 individuals with disabilities including disabled vets.
Consuella (Connie) Mackey, followed her mother’s profession as a hairstylist becoming a cosmetologist a year after graduating from high school. She always had a flair for fashion designing and included those sklls in with her portfolio.
At the age of 22, Connie became the owner of 3 hair salons, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and San Francisco. While working at the LA salon, she tripped over a box of beauty supplies and broke her foot. Now unable to work, she became depressed and had the feeling of “woe is me.”
Sadly, while recovering her mother passed away and it was at that time that Connie wanted to do something to continue her mother’s legacy, caring for those less fortunate including individuals with a disability.
Connie began volunteering at a facility for teens who had a disability and used the beauty industry as a form of rehabilitation. It was at that time that Operation Confidence (OC), a 501 © 3 nonprofit organization was founded.
Since its inception Operation Confidence has assisted 10,000 + individuals with disabilities with wraparound services including dress for success, job preparation skills and more to assist them to become productive members of society.
Years ago Connie discovered a large encampment of veterans living out of their wheelchairs on the streets of Skid Row in Los Angeles. Many of whom still wore tattered pieces of their military uniforms while others proudly displayed what was left of the American flag mounted on the back of their broken-down wheelchairs. It was at that time that Consuella asked the Board of Directors for a commitment to do its part to assist our forgotten American heroes.
Our moto is " Support our veterans" has become a mantra in American Society. It is on the lips of politicians, community leaders and people on the street, but unfortunately when it comes to "disabled" veterans, many are left homeless, overlooked, and forgotten.
OC has hosted job fairs and community outreach events throughout the city of Los Angeles for years including collaborations with Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, as well as with government agencies. Two such events took place on the grounds of the historic Los Angeles Sports Arena, where all branches of the military and 120 vendors participated.
