I was honored to return to @ALAGirlsNation — this time as governor, but once, I sat right where they are. I reminded these bright young women: citizenship is a high calling, and real leadership starts with the courage to try. If a girl from Wilcox County can do it, so can they!

What an incredible opening to the 2025 MEGA Conference— @TheJohnCMaxwell was truly inspiring during his keynote as he spoke about how his teachers words encouraged him throughout his career “Teachers are dealers of HOPE — encouragement is life changing”
