Scriptural Basis
The Need for Talk It Up Communications™ is based on Matthew 11:28, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Some people for generations have carried the burden of sexually transmitted diseases alone. This fear factor may have led to unhealthy choices that affected the rest of their life and their community. Why? Because they were scared, overwhelmed, misinformed and felt misunderstood. This produced feelings of isolation and estrangement. “In the United States, many sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s) continue to represent a significant disease burden and public health challenge. In part, the problem is sustained because many infected people remain untreated and even unaware of their infections.” (Authors’ affiliations M Hogben, J S St Lawrence, J S Leichi, Division of STD Prevention, Centers for Disease Seattle, WA, USA D E Montan”o, D Kasprzyk, W R Phillips, Battelle Centers for Public Health Research and Evaluation, Seattle, WA, USA; CDC 2002) (return to top)

Our History
Talk It Up Communications™ began speaking on Abstinence in January 2000. The mandate of encouraging our youth and parents grew with passion as Michelle Bailey seen the countless lives of young men and women become trapped by the whispers of society because of a lack of knowledge. It is then that Michelle said “Yes” to the mandate placed on her life and Talk It Up Communications™ took the stand Making Abstinence Popular and became a non-profit organization February 2006. It is during the transitions in life that we often stop and throw in the towel not realizing the opportunity to grow was right in front of us. Motto: Never Give Up!
