PROMOTE AND INITIATE CHANGE
Deborah Ivory
Deborah is a lively presence with a persona to be emulated. A licensed cosmetologist for 40+ years and currently a Master hairstylist at JCPenney Salon. She’s also a licensed minister, honored to serve others with her gift of encouragement. Deborah is a mother of three blessed adult children, a grandmother, and a great-grandmother. She and her husband Bobby, of over 26 years, are empty-nesters residing in Nashville, Tennessee. In the face of adversity and hardship, Deborah wrote her first book in 2011 entitled, “Choose Joy On Purpose!” JOY has made this young woman triumphant in life. She encourages others by sharing excerpts of her life, revealing secrets of how you too, can be the change you want to see. Which has now afforded her the opportunity to serve as an official AGENT OF CHANGE.
Colleen Johnson
Colleen is currently a stay-home wife and mother of seven. She is an Air Force veteran and a prayer team leader at her local church.
She believes the power of encouragement is a primary key to building the Body of Christ as we walk out God’s journey for our lives together.
As an Agent of Change, Colleen’s passion is to build Kingdom identity in God’s people with the focus that our past doesn’t define, hinder, or stop God’s plan for our lives. That we are everything the Word of God declares we are.
Cheryl Yvette Key
Cheryl is an Agent of Change, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Auntie, Sister, Friend, and CEO of Hey ROYAL’s!!–a custom T-shirts & Accessory business with products focused on Christians, Women, and People of Color. After leaving her hometown of Detroit, Michigan, and having lived 33 yrs in S. Florida, Cheryl is a new resident of the state of Georgia. As a flawed individual seeking to serve God’s people, as He desires, Cheryl stopped striving to please people and trust God. Aside from Psalms 91, one of her favorite scriptures is Jeremiah 29:11 (MSG): “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.”
Tara Pope
Tara is a psychotherapist currently studying for her doctorate at the Michigan School of Psychology. She believes that God has purposed in her to be an AGENT OF CHANGE in the mental health field. It has been her passion to find ways to integrate mental health and Christianity. Growing up in the church, she has been able to witness the stigmas and silence that can be present in Christian communities when dealing with mental health. She believes in the power of prayer. She also believes in the power of therapy. God has qualified individuals like Tara to be a vessel for Him to help heal mental disorders and bring individuals closer to Him. Tara hopes that with change, people will be enlightened and join her in advocating for spiritual and mental health.
