This new endeavor and passion took her back to her roots, New York City in 2000. She resided in the Bronx where Fahtima discovered and mentored a youth dance crew, L. F. I. B. D. (Lost & Found In Boogie Down). Fahtima gave hope, to an otherwise hopeless youth that were between the ages 5-16. These youths were living in the high crime and poverty shelter system at the High Bridge projects in the heart of the Bronx. Fatima’s drive, passion, and love awakened the children thirst for knowledge and a better life. These are all great, But! Her most admirable work was she organized a volunteering program; the group volunteered at local H. I.V. and Cerebral Palsy hospital and home health settings. Some of the children ran errands for the elderly; baby sat, and tutored for single parents. Because Fahtima had no funding to create flyers, she started utilizing the Internet as a resource to promote events, research entertainment news, create flyers, and documents. This spawn into an innovative and successful digital company M. M. P. (Mad Man Productions).
