As we begin to focus on the principle of rewarding and recognizing others, please join us for a special episode where Dr. Janet Pilcher shares four valuable life lessons from one of her most influential mentors and friends, Ms. Georgia Blackmon. Although Ms. Blackmon recently passed away, her legacy as a visionary, community leader, political activist, and strong advocate for both children and the Black community in Pensacola remains. Janet explains how Ms. Blackmon's strong mentorship profoundly influenced her, leaving an enduring mark on her life and values. Not only did Ms. Blackmon and her husband found the Gathering Awareness Book Center, she also founded a nonprofit organization that spearheaded the restoration of the historic Ella Jordan home in downtown Pensacola, Florida. Listen as Janet honors her late friend, Georgia, and inspires us to carry on her legacy of love over hate.
