Thus, traveling to Africia on several occasions to ensure the fundamental framework for full implementation was successful. Not only is she a licensed barber/stylist for over 32 years, Felicia’s pursuit of perfecting her craft has led to completing certification as a barber trainer. This has led her to be an on-the-job trainer for those initially out of barber college and cosmetology school. Felicia’s affluent skills become a value add to the salons she has either supported or managed. Felicia’s love of family and dedication has made her a mainstay in various family events. She is solicited for her creativity and ability to support family functions.

Felicia has raised funds by walking in community events such as the walk for cancer and the MLK recognition. It is commonplace for Felicia to provide services for those in need without question or obligation. She has volunteered at shelters to assist with styling, cutting and clothing those less fortunate. She also helps families during their time of grief. Making funeral sprays for the church and the casket, this included doing the deceased, hair and makeup to lighten the family’s load. Her hardest task came this year when she had to bury her youngest son Darrian Robinson, which is a tough job for anyone.

Two distinct examples that highlight how Jacqueline Doyle goes above and beyond to support and uplift her family members are: I’d like to start with a quote that her brother said to me when he was referring to Jacqueline. Edward said, “A rising tide lifts all boats.” Not only is Jacqueline the tide, but she’s also the water that nourishes the garden. One example where Jacqueline goes above and beyond to support and uplift her family members is when she stepped up and co-created a committee of family members who commit themselves throughout the year planning for an annual family celebration called “The Bottley Ball.” Throughout the year she works tirelessly facilitating and orchestrating the monthly meetings. During the meetings she has manifested the unique abilities to not only collaborate but demonstrate love, support, and compassion to find meaningful ways to accomplish shared goals. For example, creating the zoom links, teaching family members how to use zoom and up to date technologies. At the meetings she nominates herself to find the venue and organize the vendors and assist in facilitating the process of sharing responsibilities. After the meetings she collaborates with the committee to disseminate the information on the family’s website (that she co-created), sells the tickets for the ball and provides oversight for the sales. She also developed newfound strategies to promote the Bottley Ball by creating unique ways and opportunities that curates' family bonding time. For example, over the summer she opened her home and hosted family movie nights. Here family members brought their children and lawn chairs and bonded. Throughout the year, Jacqueline is hosting, giving, or incorporating ways family members can celebrate and empower themselves and others not just to promote the Bottley Ball, but family love. My nominee has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to supporting family members during difficult periods. Last year when her mother was diagnosed with cancer Jacqueline was the first and last one at the hospital. When her mother was released, she opened her home and provided personal care and support. She met with doctors and nurses to learn how to provide adequate care. She reached out to other family members and friends that wanted to care and provided a schedule that allowed them to love and support her mother. After her mother passed unexpectedly, she made the arrangements for her transition and home going celebration. A couple of weeks later Jacqueline found the strength to finalize her mother’s living arrangements by moving her belongings out of her house, moving her daughter and her daughter’s family across the country to Virginia, and moving her grandmother, aunt and niece into a new apartment. As you can see Jacqueline is continuously going above and beyond supporting and uplifting her family members and I am truly honored to nominate her for these reasons.

When her clients leave her chair, not only do they look beautiful but feel beautiful.

Jacqueline’s gifts extend beyond hairstyling and caretaking, as she is sought-after vocalist. Jacqueline’s performances showcase her passion for music and her ability to inspire and entertain audiences. Her professionalism and poise reflect positively on our family name, making us all proud of her accomplishments. Give details how the nominee embodies the core values and spirit of our family in their everyday life, setting a positive example for others. Many women are only seen for their beauty, very few are known because they’re a beautiful person. Jacqueline embodies the very essence of love and respect. She sets the standard of how to support one another by showing up in moments of need. She’s a woman of high value and leads with love.
