“Every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. And to the children of our country, regardless of your gender, our country has sent you a clear message: dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourself in a way that others might not see you, simply because they’ve never seen it before. And we will applaud you every step of the way.” — Kamala Harris, Vice-President, United States of America
MASSIVE NATIONAL MILESTONE

Another season, another remarkably brilliant milestone for Dr. Jennifer Bryant.
Just recently, Dr. Bryant was named a recipient for The Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award during a luncheon honoring community leaders and heroes in Flowood, Mississippi.
An empowerment assembly that was spearheaded by the Jackson, Mississippi metropolitan area, Dr. Bryant was officially honored January 29.
Generally, The Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award is widely considered one of the highest honors presented to individuals who have overcome significant obstacles to achieve impressive accomplishments, thus dedicated their lives to advocating for the most vulnerable among humanity and acted with bravery to drive change in their communities — and across the world — while blazing trails for generations to come.
For Dr. Bryant, it’s safe to assume that no one, really, can assess — and embrace — her latest achievement the way she can.
“I am excited to announce that I was awarded The Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award as a trailblazing leader and for my unwavering commitment to personal and professional leadership coaching and mentoring to thousands in the community and the Federal, State, and Local governments,” Dr. Bryant, the mastermind behind Reaching Within, An Empowerment Journey LLC, told Making Headline News during a recent interview. “I held various positions in the Federal government, from clerk typist to Executive Director, until retirement in 2019. My dedication to the community over the last 35 years has focused on giving others visibility and a voice to own their career journey so they can live their lives with purpose, confidence, authenticity, and success. I’ve led, supervised, and coached and mentored students in High Schools, Colleges, Universities, Federal Government employees, and Corporate associates worldwide.”
