Honored to represent Celestial Ministries Association at the Prison Fellowship gathering today.
For over 30 years, CMA has partnered through Angel Tree to serve children and families impacted by incarceration—making sure every young person feels seen, supported, and remembered. 💞
Today was especially meaningful, as I was recognized for years of dedicated service and impact in the North Lawndale community. I give God all the glory for this moment. “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16
I’m grateful to stand alongside organizations committed to restoring hope, strengthening families, and investing in the next generation. This work is truly a calling of love.
I proudly share this honor with an incredible team who keeps everything moving forward with excellence. Thank you Antwane Ratliff, Nadia Johnson, Stanley Ratliff, and all of our dedicated volunteers and sponsors—you are the heart behind the mission. ❤️
With love and gratitude, we will continue to serve.
