"I knew I had a destiny and my destiny was to fulfill my life long journey becoming Shante. I was no longer going to be controlled by other peoples concerns about my destiny, my life. I came to Lyon-Martin about 10 years ago. The people at Lyon-Martin always made me feel special. They took consideration of my southern hospitality. They made sure that I was going to be taken care of."
-Shante Jackson, Lyon-Martin client and community member ✨
