These honors not only emphasize our significant contributions but also 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.
