Words feel inadequate to express the overwhelming gratitude I feel upon learning I’ve been selected for the 2024 Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award. To receive such a prestigious honor from the Biden Administration, recognizing years of volunteer service, is truly humbling. This journey has never been about individual accolades, but about the collective impact we can make when we come together to serve our communities.
I am particularly thankful to for this nomination and for their tireless work in creating positive change. Your foundational principles of empowerment, inspiration, and education resonate deeply with me. It’s an honor to be recognized by an organization that so authentically centers community and advocates for healing and solutions. Your belief in me, as expressed in the letter, is a gift.
I am reminded that any positive change I’ve contributed is built upon the support and collaboration of countless individuals. It’s the people I’ve worked alongside, the communities we’ve served, and the shared passion for making a difference that truly deserve recognition. I am so excited to celebrate alongside everyone at “A Night in Black”. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am truly grateful for this recognition and for the opportunity to continue serving.
