I am deeply honored and humbled to be recognized as a 2026 Legacy Influencer Hall of Famer (L.I.H.F.) by Aspiring Authors Magazine.
To be listed among so many outstanding leaders, visionaries, authors, and changemakers is truly a blessing. I do not take this recognition lightly. Every opportunity I’ve been given to serve in mental health advocacy, peer support, ministry, su***de prevention, and community outreach has been about helping others discover hope, healing, and purpose.
My sincere gratitude goes to Author Angela Thomas, Founder & CEO of Aspiring Authors Magazine, for this distinguished honor and for her commitment to celebrating individuals who are creating positive impact and leaving a lasting legacy.
This award is not just about me—it represents every person who shared their story, every life touched through recovery, every family encouraged, and every individual who chose to keep going when giving up seemed easier.
One Legacy. Infinite Impact.
Thank you to God, my family, friends, colleagues, NAMI Georgia, the Georgia Mental Health Consumer Network, my church family, and everyone who has supported me on this journey.
