In a remarkable testament to our dedication to social change and community empowerment, we at Paroled2Pride proudly received two esteemed awards in consecutive years: the Ernest Brown "Good Change" Award in 2023 from The City of Columbus, Mississippi and the Best Small Business Award's 2024 Leadership Impact Award from the governor of the State of Mississippi. These honors emphasize our significant contributions and reflect my unwavering commitment to advocating for the rights and successful reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals. I am deeply thankful to the Lord for giving me the strength to continue and succeed in helping incarcerated individuals with their reentry to the community.
