Community with Cooper

Last week, I had the privilege of participating in an international exchange with judicial and legal leaders from countries across the Near East and North Africa. It was an incredible opportunity to learn about each other's legal systems, discuss how our courts serve communities, and share the mission of Atlanta CASA and the important role Court Appointed Special Advocates play in advocating for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.

One of the greatest gifts of leadership is the opportunity to listen, learn, and build bridges across cultures. I left inspired by the conversations, the connections, and the reminder that no matter where we call home, we all want stronger communities and brighter futures for children.

Community starts with conversation. 🌍❤️

Community is built one act of kindness at a time. ❤️ Today, I had the honor of joining White Cap and Best Corporate Events as they created special bears for children served by Atlanta CASA. Partnerships like these remind us that when a community comes together, lives are changed. Thank you for helping our children feel seen, valued, and loved. 🧸

Community is built one opportunity, one conversation, and one investment at a time.

Today I had the privilege of supporting an incredible group of middle school entrepreneurs by listening to their business ideas, visiting their booths, and purchasing their products. Watching these young leaders confidently share their vision for the future was truly inspiring.

One of my favorite moments was experiencing it alongside my own middle schooler. I believe our children learn best when they can see leadership, service, and community in action.

Here's to showing up, supporting our youth, and creating communities where every child has the opportunity to dream, lead, and succeed.

Community has always been at the heart of everything I do.
I am honored to share that I have been named a finalist for the 2026 Gwinnett Chamber Moxie Awards.
This recognition is not just about me. It reflects every partnership, every conversation, every opportunity to serve, and every person who believes that when we work together, our communities become stronger.

Today was a reminder that community matters.

A heartfelt thank you to Childers, Schlueter & Smith, LLC for donating 48 backpacks filled with school supplies for children served by Atlanta CASA. Their generosity will help students start the school year prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

Grateful for community partners who invest in children, support families, and help create brighter futures for our youth. ❤️

🧡 World MS Day 🧡

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in February 2015.

Today, eleven years later, I choose gratitude over fear, hope over doubt, and purpose over limitations.

To everyone living with MS: I see you, I celebrate you, and I am cheering for you.

Keep going. 💛

A true full circle moment. 🎓
