This year, we are honored to present the Sojourner Truth  Meritorious Service Award, the highest recognition given within our association, to Shuana Tucker-Sims, Ph.D.  This prestigious award acknowledges individuals whose extraordinary achievements and commitment to justice, education, and service exemplify the legacy of Sojourner Truth, a trailblazing advocate for equality and empowerment. Shuana Tucker-Sims'  dedication to these ideals makes her a true embodiment of the spirit of this award.

 

We will also celebrate the outstanding contributions of Shantell Johnson and Shaunquetta Johnson, who will receive President’s Appreciation Awards for their unwavering commitment to advancing the mission of our club.

 

Additionally, we are proud to invest in the future by awarding scholarships to deserving students, including the Rosemary Bess Scholarship for an incoming freshman and the inaugural Estelle Thorpe Adult Nursing Scholarship.
