Olivia Palmore

Redeemed Press Director

My name is Olivia, I was born and raised here on the west side of Cincinnati. I am currently attending Gateway Community and Technical College working towards an associate degree in human services. I have three beautiful children and we live in Newport, Kentucky.

My family attended events that BLOC hosted back in the 90’s, and I was part of the Bible study that Dwight led at Delhi Middle School. More recently, I was a resident of the Redeemed Home and graduated in 2021. The six months that I lived with the women of Redeemed completely changed my life. I was pregnant and on the verge of being homeless with a shameful past. The staff and volunteers of Redeemed Home loved me so hard that I began to love myself. I was able to face my past and heal from deep seeded trauma. Judy specifically gave me an entire toolbox of knowledge with her DBT classes. Our weekly Bible studies gave me a deeper understanding of the Word and offered me a safe space to ask questions and be vulnerable with other sisters in Christ. The most important thing I learned there was to trust God’s timing. He is always right on time, and I find such peace in that.

During my time there Stephanie and I discovered we shared a similar dream. At the Springs we had our first conversation about a vision for a greeting card business that could partner with the Cincinnati Type and Print Museum. Since that initial conversation, God has been working behind the scenes to orchestrate what we now can call Redeemed Press. I am humbled and so grateful for this opportunity to serve our community and partner with the amazing BLOC staff.
