Dr. Pinckney is the founder of a new not-for-profit organization, I AM MORE Institute for Excellence and Social Responsibility. Recognizing the importance of saying, ""I AM MORE!"" Dr. Pinckney registered it as a trademark. Combining her passions for social change, her dissertation, Children present on the scene upon police arrival at an intimate partner violence incident: Race, police action, and officer-initiated social support, examined whether the needs of children exposed to IPV and the race of a couple factor into an officer's decisions as to whether to take law enforcement action (arrest or issue a citation) and initiate social support for the exposed child and victim-partner. ""I AM MORE - the Journey"" was born from the adversities Dr. Toni faced throughout her life. In order for her to survive life's hardships and pains, she had to learn that she was not limited to being a product of her past. In fact, she was more. She was a facilitator of her future. Dr. Toni uses her life lessons to inspire men, women, and children to become 'powerfully productive"" not ""allow[ing] their reasons to fail to become their excuses for failure - excellence NOT excuse!"". Dr. Toni, a survivor of multiple rapes, years of domestic violence, and emotional abuse says, ""I want to inspire inner strength and introduce spiritual empowerment in the lives of those with broken hearts and spirits"". ""There is nothing stopping you from becoming ""more"" except the thought that you are ""less"". You are ""more"". So allow the words to echo in
