The Lanier McCaskill Spirit Award. 🌹

On behalf of the Board of Directors of The Respect Yourself Project, I am honored to share this formal Proclamation with our community.

​As a tribute to our dear friend and 2017 Spirit Award recipient, the late Lanier "LB" McCaskill, we have officially renamed our most prestigious award: The Lanier McCaskill Spirit Award.

From this day forward, her name will be permanently synonymous with the strength, generosity, and unwavering love she poured into our mission every single day. LB, thank you for believing in my life and in our vision when it mattered most. Your energy is etched into our history forever.
