A Morning of Inspiration and Opportunity! This morning, Deborah Jean-Baptiste, a senior ambassador at Osceola High School, shared with our guests how 3DE Schools by Junior Achievement of Central Florida has positively shaped her educational journey. She was thrilled to announce that she has been accepted to Howard University this fall! 🎓 Standing beside her is Tiffany Jeffers—a leader, a philanthropist, a giver of hope, and SO MUCH MORE! In a truly heartwarming moment, Tiffany, on behalf of the Black Empowerment & Community Council, surprised us all by awarding Deborah a scholarship to support her college journey. It doesn’t get much better than this! Thank you, Tiffany, for your generosity and for believing in the next generation of leaders! #EducationMatters #FutureLeaders #StudentSuccess #HowardUniversityBound #ScholarshipWinner #MentorshipMatters #CommunityImpact #EmpoweringYouth #GivingBack #LeadershipInAction #3DESchools #JuniorAchievement #JAInspires #RealWorldLearning #DreamBig #BreakingBarriers #InvestInTheFuture #Changemakers #Inspiration

I’m excited to share the mission of this group: to "Establish a culture of diverse professionals who want to grow, collaborate and provide lasting impact through Junior Achievement of Central Florida." Last night’s meeting was filled with inspiring energy! Hearing testimonials about the meaningful work being done—whether it's engaging with students in classrooms, judging pitch competitions, or mentoring 8th graders at our local Inspire career fair—reinforced the incredible impact we're making together. A big thank you to the JACF Leadership Council for your dedication and commitment to advancing education. Your efforts are truly moving the needle! #JuniorAchievement #Collaboration #DiversityInEducation #Mentorship #ImpactfulEducation #InspireCareerFair #CommunityEngagement #EducationLeadership #ProfessionalGrowth #YouthDevelopment #EmpowerFutureLeaders #MakingADifference #LeadershipCouncil #EducationMatters #TogetherWeCan

It’s been a privilege to coordinate “happy hour with a board member” and “coffee with a board member” as The Vice Chair for The JACF Leadership Council under Junior Achievement of Central Florida. This gives our emerging leaders who serve on the Leadership Council the opportunity to spend quality time learning from local executives who sit on the JACF board. This time we had the incredible honor of spending some time with Robert Q. Lee, managing partner of Brennan Manna Diamond. Thank you Mr. Lee for your support of the Leadership Council and spending this time pouring into us! #networking #mentorship #collaboration #community

What a delight to volunteer for the Junior Achievement of Central Florida INSPIRE event at Osceola Heritage Park this week. If you’d like to get more involved with serving our local students and surround yourself with ambitious young leaders in our community, I’d love to share more about what we do with the JA Leadership Council! And maybe you’d even like to volunteer with me in April for the Orange County Inspire event?! It will be a 3 day event at the convention center and will require lots of hands to run smoothly. My DM’s are open… #juniorachievement #education #osceolacounty #3de
