As a licensed minister, (originally called into prison ministry), she recognized a need for a positive place women could go upon their release from prison. The center provided a safe, supportive, family oriented environment that focused on helping women develop spiritually, become financially stable, and independent.

The center required Charlesetta to be available 24/7 due to unexpected emergencies. Due to the decline in her eyesight she had to close the center in 2006. She continued to do prison ministry until she relocated to Dallas, Georgia in 2019. She was a member of Linked Up Church in Powder Springs, Georgia.
