AB: We work in the community with senior and disabled housing units to provide post-acute help sessions that hope to prevent hospitalizations and improve quality of life. We also volunteer at the ALMS Christin Church Loves Way Community Food Pantry as well as work with WeThrive Forest Park. During the holiday season, we also partner with our local dignitaries and other organizations to give out food distributions throughout the county.

VPCM: What does community mean to you?

SP: Community means belonging, love, hope, and building a better future

VPCM: What is your expertise for great leadership?

SP: Truthfully speaking, being my authentic self. It is the ability to listen, be inclusive, and hearing others.

VPCM: Who/What inspires you and why?

AB: I have a lot of barriers, but I am still able to move forward and not only have an impact with my family I have used the talents the Lord has given me and have impacted the national and global entities with processes I have developed and give back to the community. I have been told to stop but I will never stop being an advocate for individuals that are vulnerable I teach that to my kids too, so they can continue to breath the same life into the community and birth a greater impact

VPCM: What does Vision and Purpose mean to you?

AB: Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight

VPCM: Give an affirmation quote and/or biblical scripture that you live by?

AB: I literally live my life by treating others the way that I would like to be treated. I always attempt to greet people with love and respect.
