“It was a privilege and high honor to receive the Inaugural Dorothy Irene Height Trailblazer Award in the Public Servant category from the Rockdale-Newton Chapter of NCNW on Saturday. I will forever cherish this recognition and continue to serve as God leads.” JUDGE PHINIA ATEN

“Without community service, we would not have a strong quality of life. It’s important to the person who serves as well as the recipient. It’s the way in which we ourselves grow and develop.” – the late Dorothy Irene Height

It was an absolute delight to have my baby sister announce me as the winner of the Trailblazer Award in the public servant category. My family has always shown strong support.
