Our Story
Dr. Clay stepped into entrepreneurship in 1996 after working in corporate America for six years. She worked in the Cosmetology industry for several years before opening her business, Extreme Elegance Beauty Salon and Boutique, LLC., where she discovered a passion for mentoring and supporting women through life challenges. As a result of a leading of the Holy Spirit, she founded Extreme Elegance Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit, in 2005. The foundation served the community by assisting sheltered women, special needs individuals, and disaster victims through hair care services, clothing, and daily essentials.
In 2010, the foundation's name changed to Build the House Ministries (BTHM) to focus on teaching and training women to live holistic lives through the practical application of Biblical principles. In addition, BTHM hosted numerous conferences to spread the Good News of the Gospel message of Jesus Christ and to equip his people with tools to strengthen and grow in faith and good works. In 2022, BTHM added Life and Leadership coaching to serve individuals who desired to increase self-awareness, confidence, clarity, and focus and heighten spiritual well-being.
