This resolution recognizes and honors the 2025 Georgia Single Parent "Legacy Builders" Recognition and Awards finalists, highlighting the achievements of single parents across various categories. Initiated by the National Leadership Group Inc. and former State Representative Valencia Stovall in 2019, the awards celebrate single parents who have overcome significant challenges and made outstanding contributions in areas such as education, medical and health, community service, business, public service, faith-based work, and arts and entertainment. The resolution specifically acknowledges seven main award recipients, including Shayla Lawrence in Education and Jyshon Harrell Sr. in Arts & Entertainment, as well as two "Overcomer Founder" Award recipients (Dr. Hazel Jay and Christopher Walls), one "Ruth Brewster Endurance" Award recipient (Rhema Davis), and one "Historian" Award recipient (Dr. Melody Kelley). The resolution emphasizes the immense challenges faced by single parents and aims to honor their dedication, resilience, and commitment to raising responsible and successful children. Additionally, the resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the recognition to the award recipients.
