Award Recipient
(Note I was unable to attend in person at the last moment due to an eye issue but I presented my workshops and awards speech story virtually through the power of Zoom recordings. I also wrote the foreward for the new anthology).
I was the recipient of the Storytelling Award of Excellence at the 2025 Beacon of Hope Mission Event in South Africa.
This global event, organized by Kelly Markey, Founder of Beacon of Hope, in partnership with Michelle Jewlal, CEO of Lifeline Zululand, will be held at the Bonamanzi Game Reserve Conference Center.
The goal of the awards event and conference was to provide storytelling and personal empowerment workshops for the Lifeline Zululand community and international attendees. The community and the international network is committed to creating change through connection, compassion, and narrative power.
Here’s some additional information about the participating organization and founder..
