Good evening, everyone.
I stand before you with a heart full of gratitude and joy. This moment is incredibly special for me, not just as an individual but as part of a community that continuously inspires and uplifts one another. Being recognized in a space filled with such passionate influencers and dedicated workaholics is an honor I will cherish forever.
First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to God for guiding me on this journey. I believe that when you do what’s right and stand firm in your faith, you become unstoppable, regardless of the challenges that come your way. It’s easy to lose sight of our purpose, but let us never forget that our work is vital and that there are always eyes watching, rooting for us to succeed.
To be recognized by so many across Houston fills me with overwhelming pride. We have a tremendous responsibility ahead of us, and it truly takes a village. Together, we must ensure that our children and grandchildren are equipped to thrive in the world we are shaping today and for years to come.
I am incredibly proud to accept the award for The Black Excellence Top Tier Community Activism Pillar of H-Town Influencer MVP of 2025 and the Elite Golden Globe Media Pioneer of the Year for “THE CRITICAL SHOW.” These honors are not just mine; they belong to everyone who has supported me, believed in our mission, and worked tirelessly alongside me.
I want to extend special love and appreciation to Dr. Clemmie St. Amand of the Birthday Cake Wedding Foundation and 50 Shades of Green. Your commitment to our community is unmatched, and I am grateful for your partnership.
Lastly, I want to dedicate this moment to my mother. Although she couldn't be here to witness this greatness, I know she is watching over me. This is for you, Momma. Thank you for believing in me and instilling in me the values that guide my work.
Thank you all for this incredible honor. Let’s continue to uplift each other and work towards a brighter future together.
