Amongst the prominent guests scheduled to attend the fundraiser are D. J. Kayotik (50 Cent’s disc jockey) and celebrity red carpet host, Law Nation, and a “guest influential host” to be announced, Dr. Jackson said.
“Please join us as we are on a mission to raise proceeds to purchase a new van or SUV for Keeping Families Connected so that we can keep families connected to their incarcerated loved ones,” Dr. Jackson told MHN. “Despite the success I have achieved, I remain grounded in humility. I understand the struggles that many face because I have lived through them. I am committed to giving back to my community, whether through mentorship programs, scholarships, or providing resources to those in need. I believe that true prosperity comes from lifting others as we climb.
THE GALA’S LINEUP
“My mission is to teach others how to access their own blessings, showing them that their past does not dictate their future.”
According to Dr. Scott, this is more than a gala.
“It’s a movement for social change,” she said. “Your presence at the AYO Gala goes beyond attending a beautiful event — it’s an opportunity to make a life-changing impact. By supporting family reunification efforts, mentorship programs, career development initiatives, and community empowerment, you’re directly contributing to brighter futures for families and underserved communities.”
Interestingly enough, Dr. Jackson emphasized Keeping Families Connected is dedicated to breaking down barriers for families impacted by incarceration, helping them navigate separation with dignity and hope.

Also, there will be a special appearance by Mendeecees Harris of the popular reality TV series, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.
“This year, we’ve made significant changes to enhance the overall experience,” Dr. Jackson told MHN. “Together, we can create brighter futures, one family at a time.”
Generally, the strategic mission of Keeping Families Connected is centered in large part on enriching the lives of young people, most notably through events, as well as by way of providing educational resources, mentoring, and counseling services.
