Meet Hope Reger! Her story began in 2016 after the loss of her son Justin to murder. She was in the midst of a parent's worst nightmare and could not find a community that understood her pain. She was looking for those who understood the deep grief she felt a need to ensure she was grieving "right" in her son's honor. During the course of her search, she realized that it was within me to create a safe space for those that were going through grief to know they are not alone and there are many of us out here who are ready to help, provide hope, in a safe space. Then Covid hit, and for many that meant an additional layer for grief. As a country, we were counting numbers of deaths and many were not able to have services, say goodbye and for many were in isolation. Through all of that...Grief 2 Hope was born. Hope put pen to paper and developed a virtual grief peer support program for anyone grieving from the comfort of their home to ensure that no one felt isolated or alone in their grief. Through Grief 2 Hope, she has created a way for people to experience grief together in a space where we can remove that grief mask with no judgement, to feel at home with our emotions, and to know that grief is completely unique to each individual. It provides a comfort that cannot be duplicated.   Connect with hope at https://www.grief2hopesupport.com/

Bonita Burney Simmons Born to Sing... Without a doubt, Bonita has been anointed to sing! She was born on March 28, 1971 in Stamford, CT and was singing before she could even speak! As early as age 3, Bonita would hear lyrics on the radio and mimic exactly what she heard. During her first live performance, Bonita blew her audience away! People were so impressed and amazed, as they simply couldn't believe this big voice was coming from such a little girl! After spending her early years with her parents in Hartford,CT, her family relocated to Kinston, NC in 1974. Bonita would hone her skills while participating in music programs offered in Lenoir County Public Schools. She joined the chorus and in 5th grade, she was chosen to sing “The Way We Were” by Barbara Streisand. When she sang that song, there was not a dry eye in the room. During her 8th & 9th grade years, she was always active in the community, performing at events like NAACP banquets or weddings. She is a graduate of Kinston High School, Class of 1989, an alumni of Craven Community College with an Associates of Arts, and and alumni of the UAFWB Bible College where she graduated as valedictorian of the 2015 class with a Bachelor of Biblical Studies. To maintain a competitive edge, Bonita took years of private lessons with vocal coaches under the tutelage of Thomasine Hassell, Chantel Hollacheck, the late Wynona Daves, and Martha Mainor. Bonita's Singing Career... At age 12, she started her own gospel singing group, a trio called “Tried by Fire.” Determined and focused, Bonita thrived in her role as band leader and demonstrated her entrepreneurial skills at a very young age. Bonita would open up for all the national recording gospel artists who came to town like Shirley Caesar, John P. Kee, Luther Barnes, The Winans, The Williams Brothers and many others. Bonita has appeared and won first place on numerous occasions at the world famous Apollo Theatre in New York City. By the time she reached high school, she was already considered a professional singer! Today, Bonita is enjoying the flexibility of being an independent recording artist. Her talent is in high demand, as she is frequently requested to sing at venues and events throughout Eastern North Carolina! In June of 2017,  Bonita was nominated and won two awards given by The Rhythm of Gospel Awards for Traditional Artist of the Year and Best Performance by a Female Artist in Jacksonville, Florida. She also in July of 2017 was nominated and recognized as the winner in the Independent Gospel Artist category of Traditional Vocalist of the Year from the Radio Alliance Awards also located in Jacksonville, Florida.  Although she's experienced many tribulations, Bonita's life lessons are part of her unique tapestry that enables her to relate to people who are hurting. One of her biggest accomplishments is her outreach work with those who are incarcerated, sharing God's love through song. Indeed, Bonita has defined her own success, choosing to embrace an obedient lifestyle according to God's will for her life and career. She simply allows God to do the navigation and depends solely on Him to direct her career path- living by her motto, “If I make the way, then I'll have to pay the way. But if I allow HIM to make the way, he'll pay the way!" Bonita married her husband/manager, Eric B. Simmons in 1994. They have three wonderful children- Mykeva, E.J. and Landon. In October of 2000, Bonita was ordained into the Ministry as "Elder" by national Bishop Andrew Mcrorey Jr. of the Joy Mission Church of Deliverance, Hartford, CT. She also continues to serve Family Worship Center, "Ministry of Restoration" where the Pastor is George E. Fields Jr. Because serving and outreach is a part of the tapestry for Bonita's unique song ministry, being a part of the legacy of her father, the late, Bishop Landon O. Burney and the ministry that he founded is the reason she serves with great tenacity. Bonita and her family became members of Without Limits Christian Center in 2016 where the Pastors are James and Le'Conte McIver. Whenever and wherever there's a NEED; Bonita serves

His mission is to serve individuals who are at a disadvantage and are giving ear to their doubts - individuals who are at the crossroads of despair and destiny. The ones who are at risk of not winning. ​ WHY PURSUE THESE INDIVIDUALS? Darryl experienced firsthand the challenges of being raised in a dysfunctional family where his mom abused drugs to cope with life's challenges and his dad abused women because he didn't know how to regulate his emotions. Poverty and dysfunction led to insecurities and bouts of hopelessness. His circumstances forced him to grow up early.However, along the way, Darryl found hope in an unlikely place - his role as big brother. He drew strength and hope from looking after his younger siblings especially his little brother, Quincy. This experience thrusted him into LEADERSHIP.   Immediately after graduating high school, Darryl decided to serve his country in the U.S. Marine Corps. ​ Here he discovered the importance of core values and the discipline it takes to effectively lead. ​ His focus is to challenge, train and develop individuals to EMBRACE THE LEADER within. Darryl believes that there is a call that each of us must answer that is to be the solution to our problems. This is how winning is done! There is no win without the L: LOVE. LEADERSHIP.

Rich says:   I became a Life Coach after nearly 20 years as a teacher and educational administrator. Prior to my teaching career, I was an officer in the US Army and I directed bicycle tours for a company called Cycle America.   I did a lot of things that would illustrate success in my life and career. Professionally, the highest honor was earning my doctorate at the University of Pennsylvania. But through that time, a lot was missing. I lost track of what mattered most - my family and my health. My entire career was overshadowed with burn out and that is what I feel most passionate about helping people through.   I feel that I can offer this story to work with your audience to help them through similar situations if they are in them.   www.selfconfidencebydesign.com

Lois has always been a trailblazer as she helped develop one of the first Kidney Hemodialysis Units in the USA at Thomas Jefferson University in 1966.   Today she not only shows us why shameguilt has led us to believe we are victims incapable of stellar lives but also HOW to make friends with our inner critic and kick shameguilt out of our lives.   Lois was dying at 55 and today at 79, rollerblades with her grandson because she healed from the shameguilt of an abusive childhood. Lois was scarred with brain traumas, broken jaws, heart, liver, illnesses with 30 years of migraine headaches.
