EOZ Member Spotlight

It's only so often that we have the opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments and achievements of the people we care about. On October 6, 2023, one of our own will be celebrated as a Community Awards Achievement Honoree presented by the Destined for Greatness Outreach Youth Center, Inc. I caught up with our fellow EOZ Member to ask a few questions and to get her take on how it feels to win such a prestigious award?

Question: Tell us a little about who Sebrina Stokes is and what inspires you?

Answer: I am a person who believes that I was created to worship God and help others. My parents were my inspiration and they instilled in me to always be kind to others and treat people with respect.

Question: Where were you, and what were you doing when you found out you had received this award, and what was your first thought?

Answer: "I was at home checking my personal emails after making a few phone calls to parents. A little disappointed with a couple of my students' negative behavior. I saw that the email was from DFG. I clicked on the email, read it and read it again. My first thought was "Wow!" this is AWESOME! I was extremely excited and begin to share the great news right away with my family and friends."

Question: In your own words, what does this award mean to you?

Answer: "This award means that my works are not in vain. Even when I think things are going unnoticed, someone is always watching. It means that my small contributions matter. It means that the time I've put in in the community makes a difference. It means sacrifice, hard work, persistence and perseverance".

Beautiful and Poignant Words from a Finer Woman. Thank you for your honesty and transparency. Well to our EOZ member and sister, we see you and we love you. We celebrate with you and wish you many more awards and celebratory opportunities.
