Andre Johnson 
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:58 NIV)
THE LORD’S DOING
Reverend Dr. Paulette Harper doesn’t shy away from the notion that she’s been strategically set aside for God’s use.
How else to explain why this esteemed devout woman of faith is on the brink of acquiring arguably her grandest milestone in recent memory?
Just recently, Dr. Harper, a longtime and well-respected Bay Area faith leader, learned she has been named a recipient for the 2024 Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award.
Powered by Dr. Verlisa Wearing’s The RiseHer Network, Dr. Harper will be officially honored during a celebratory gala at Marriott Atlanta Airport in College Park, Georgia September 7.
SALUTING WOMEN WHO SHAPE OUR WORLD
As part of Making Headline News’ 2024 Essence Music Festival advance coverage leading to the “the party with a purpose” event July 5-7 in New Orleans, Dr. Harper’s forthcoming honor comes amid her 40-plus years of valiant contributions as a progressive marketplace leader, particularly in the literary field and as a ministry leader.
Meanwhile, the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award is widely regarded as one of the highest honors presented to individuals who have overcome significant obstacles to achieve impressive accomplishments, thus dedicating 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.

A native of Pittsburg, California who resides in Antioch, California, Dr. Harper’s rise to garnering national honors comes amid humble beginnings, the longtime Pastor told Making Headline News this week.
“I have been blessed to serve many,” Dr. Harper said. “My call as a pastor is to equip God’s people to do His work and build up the church, the Body of Christ through the ministry of the Word and prayer. As a pastor and ministry leader, I’ve provided counseling services addressing many issues that plague the people of God. By offering hope and encouragement through the preached Word, I aim to guide individuals towards healing and restoration.”
Interestingly enough, Harper contends receiving such a prestigious award likely wouldn’t have come to fruition if not for her overcoming her dreaded season of emotional trauma.
“I now serve as a mental health coach, passionately assisting others on their journey to recovery,” Dr. Harper told MHN, adding she contributes her forthcoming honor to her feat as an accomplished author of 19 Amazon best-selling books, many of which have attracted critical acclaim and prestigious awards.
MASSIVE DESTINY STEPS
To her credit, Dr. Harper’s immeasurable body of work in the spiritual and national realms, by all accounts, stems from what she appropriately describes as a wide range of genres, most notably nonfiction, inspirational fiction, and children’s literature.
“My writing consistently demonstrates profound insight, creativity, and an exceptional command of language,” Dr. Harper said. “My ability to connect with readers on a deep, emotional level is a testament to my talent and dedication.”
Much to her delight, it is due in large part to Dr. Harper’s brilliant writing achievements that have greatly enabled her to mentor countless emerging writers, she acknowledged.
“I have dedicated countless hours to teaching, guiding, and inspiring the next generation of authors,” Dr. Harper explained. “Through my courses, seminars, and one-on-one coaching sessions, I have helped many aspiring writers find their voices and achieve their dreams of becoming published authors.”
Since word spread that she has emerged as a recipient of one of the nation’s most-celebrated awards, Dr. Harper has become the beneficiary of a slew of well wishes and congratulatory praise.
“The public’s reaction after word spread of my honor has been incredibly heartwarming and encouraging,” Dr. Harper told MHN. “I’ve received an outpouring of support and congratulations from colleagues, friends, family, and readers alike. My family has been especially supportive, sharing in the joy of this recognition and expressing their pride in my accomplishments.
“Many people have conveyed how my work has positively impacted their lives, whether through my books, counseling services, or coaching sessions. This recognition has also sparked renewed interest in my writing and ministry, with more individuals reaching out for guidance and support. Overall, the response has been a humbling reminder of the importance of the work I do and the profound connections I’ve made with so many people over the years.”
