"Resa’s commitment to connection is not performative. It is a core part of who she is. Her authenticity, generosity, and wisdom continue to impact everyone fortunate enough to cross paths with her. She believes in people, she believes in potential, and she uses her voice and network to lift others up. "
~Marquetta Hemphill, nominator
"Through her unwavering commitment to others, Resa has not only advanced mentoring initiatives but has also inspired a ripple effect—encouraging those she mentors to become mentors themselves. Her legacy is one of empowerment, transformation, and enduring impact."
