Champion of Change in Tyler, Texas: Antwanise Jackson’s Incredible Impact in 2024 – 63

THE CHAMPION OF CHANGE

Today, I want to dedicate this post to one of the most heart-driven human beings you could ever meet in Tyler, Texas: Jackson. Over the past year alone, she has achieved so much, embodying the true spirit of community service and entrepreneurship. I’d like to share some of the remarkable things she has accomplished recently.

One of her standout achievements is the development and launch of an extraordinary nonprofit called **EmpowerNet**. This organization serves as an advocacy and resource hub, connecting underrepresented areas of education and support. Through her leadership and the work of the EmpowerNet board, Jackson has inaugurated two flagship festivals, and I call them “festivals” because they are genuinely a celebration of progress and community spirit.

The first of these is the **KIDpreneur Festival**. This event encourages young entrepreneurs to embrace their passions and recognize that pursuing what they love isn’t just acceptable; it can be a viable path to financial independence. It’s all about celebrating creativity, determination, and the limitless possibilities available to kids with big dreams.

Next, there’s the **Black Wellness Expo**, strategically held in February to coincide with Black History Month. This expo serves as a crucial bridge for Black wellness and mental health resources in East Texas, providing essential connections and support to the African-American community. It’s a bold step toward celebrating Black health and creating a network of support and resources that are often overlooked in this region.

But enough about her accomplishments — let’s talk about the person Jackson truly is. She’s the most dedicated individual you’ll ever meet, tirelessly working from the moment she wakes up to serve her community with unwavering commitment. Beyond her incredible nonprofit work, Jackson is also active in the real estate field. If you ever need guidance on real estate matters, loans, or funding, she is the go-to person who will make sure you have all the information you need to make the best decisions.

Jackson is not just a community leader; she is a force of nature, combining passion, purpose, and a profound love for the people she serves. Her work is nothing short of inspiring, and I’m honored to know her. If you haven’t heard of her yet, trust me — you will soon.
