Tonya has received many leadership awards in her organization in which she has to-date served for 26 years.

Namely, Tonya has a passion and compassion for women. Her desire is to encourage women to understand, grab hold of and walk in the purpose and plan God has for their lives. Reminding women that his plan is good and not evil, so they would be confident and not fearful about their future, knowing that He will unfold their potential to assure them of His unfailing love, with the assurance that He will never leave them nor forsake them.

Tonya's life verse is: Philippians 1:6 – “being confident of this very thing; He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
