Feeling Lucky: Grateful for Family and Championing Children's Rights

3/12/2025

0 Comments

 
Spring in Savannah is like something out of a dream—the air is warm, but not too hot, and the moss-draped oaks create a canopy of green and gold that feels timeless. As the flowers bloom and the days grow longer, there's a special sense of renewal that I can't help but connect to.

It’s a beautiful thing, feeling like you're exactly where you need to be. And for me, that’s doing the work of advocating for the children of our community. Every day, I see the impact of our efforts, but it’s not just about the work—it’s deeply personal. As a mom of two, I understand, more than ever, how vital it is to create a world where every child feels safe, seen, and heard.

Being a mother gives me a unique perspective on this work. The hopes, dreams, and fears I have for my own kids echo in the voices of the children we work for. It's easy to get overwhelmed by daily challenges, but when I pause and reflect, I see how fortunate I am to contribute to a cause that's having such a meaningful impact. To be apart of a team that strives for justice, for love, and for hope—the core values that every child deserves, no matter their circumstances.

This spring, I’m taking time to reflect on the roles of being both an advocate and a mother. I’m constantly reminded that our children are our future, and it’s our responsibility to nurture them, protect them, and stand up for them in every way we can. It’s more than just a job—it’s a calling. And it feels especially fulfilling to be doing it here, at Brightside Child & Family Advocacy.

As we move further into this beautiful spring season, I am filled with hope. And with that, an ever-growing reminder that the work we do today will bloom into something brighter tomorrow, for our kids and for generations to come.
