Describe your agency’s work:
 
What is your organization’s mission?
To Strengthen  organizations in the African American Community to empower, unify,  make changes to bring positive growth

What motivates you to serve?
 
I feel like  I was  born to serve others. I am a retired elementary school teacher and spent 39 years in communities that needed support in all areas

How has your work touched the lives of youth and others in your community
I think the greatest initiatives has been support of weekend backpack program which ensues children will have a nutrition on the weekend. The We Care House in Winston-Salem  not only provide food , living needs, but also medical services through a consortium  with one of the local health agency to improve health care in the community.

Do you have a personal motto or Bible verse that guides your life?
 
Jeremiah  29:11 I am sure God purpose has always been clear  to serve others

Describe your family: (spouse, children, etc.)
 
I am the eldest of three siblings:  2 brothers  and 1 sister.  We were taught to stick together and to serve our fellowman. Our mother was a great example of that I have 4 half siblings: 3 boys and 1 girl who entered my life later and have been a joy to learn.

What advice would you offer to others wanting to serve?
 
Get to know the people in the community  you will serve personally  and never  think you know what it will take to make a change. Have lots of
conversations .
