We are on the move! This past Saturday the foundation hosted a Yoga on the Lawn in Athens, GA and attended the Ebenezer Baptist Church Health Fair in partnership with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. What a day!

Thank you to Mel Berzack for leading our Yoga on the Lawn: Peace on the Lawn. Although we had to make last minute changes to an inside venue. Thank you for offering the space at Congregation Children of Israel.

This yoga experience was peaceful, a sense of healing and rejuvenating! It was needed!💪🏾💪🏾

We were blessed with our very own board member to give us insight on medication for those are going through a Mental Illness. As well as the difference between Mental Health and Mental Illness!Thank you so much!

Special thanks to my cousin Nitra and Ann Watkins for holding down the fort and table! We are indeed grateful!

Knowledge is power! What a great way to end Mental Health Awareness Month!💚

As May comes to a close, we recognize and appreciate Mental Health Awareness Month!

A moment of transparency, May wasn’t the easiest month for me. Moments of major disappointment, a moment of depression. Yet I prevailed and bounced back!

I encourage you, even in your lowest moments. Bounce back and prevail!! 💪🏾💪🏾💚💚

Why is giving to our 2026 Scholarship Fundraiser important and attending the Galloping to Greatness Kentucky Derby Event?

Hear first hand from our 2025 Scholarship recipients.

Scholarships remove financial barriers and give students access to higher education opportunities they may not otherwise afford.

Many scholarship recipients are first-generation college students who need additional support and encouragement to succeed.

Thank you to the Retired Educators Association for the opportunity on yesterday to speak with your group on Mental Health After Retirement. What an amazing discussion and powerful topic!

A few key things I left with them:

1️⃣ Prioritize YOU first
2️⃣ Have the conversations
3️⃣ Stay active
4️⃣ Help break the stigma

What an incredible day it was to stand in front of those who once stood in front of me. To be among my elementary school principal, Dr. Ray Clark; my former teachers and supporters, Mr. Willis and Mrs. Neely-Norman; and my favorite middle school science teacher, Mrs. Alezena Johnson — what an honor!

To go from being the student in their classrooms to now teaching and pouring back into them is truly a full-circle moment.

I am forever grateful for my VILLAGE. This is exactly why I give back so much to my hometown. 💚

Thank you Reginald Willis for asking me to come!
