And whereas before her current role, Destiny founded Zion Academy of Georgia, a private Christian school in Atlanta with an emphasis on academic excellence, character development, and individualized education in an exclusive learning environment for students of all abilities. And whereas Destiny was driven by that same commitment to the community when she envisioned culture, ATL, a faith- based, family-friendly, public viewing experience held at Greenbrier Mall during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Her efforts brought a world-class experience to a community that historically has had limited access to events of this scale, to increase exposure to the game of soccer and the cultures it unites, and to create economic opportunities for local small businesses, artists, vendors, and community organizations. And whereas under Destiny's leadership, His Word Outreach Ministries International became one of the f …

If you go to their fundraisers, they are incredible fund raisers where the community shows up. You know, I love ice cream. I think it's my favorite health food because it is a dairy product. And they have Miss Mary's ice cream cranking fundraiser every summer. So I encourage you all to come out to it. It's a wonderful event. So today it gives me pleasure to give them this pro clamation.

And whereas the Drake House serves as a support center to families with food pantry, a computer room, a training room for the mothers, laundry facilities, and can play while mothers do laundry.
