MEET THE TEAM
BOARD MEMBERS
Jerami Grant
Founder
Ever since I was young, I found bliss in having a hand in constructing others joy. To be able to provide a need for someone going through tough times and spreading God’s blessing to touch many raises my spirit. I have endured pain and struggles which have allowed me to grow and understand others sufferings. I have started this foundation to simply share the blessings that I have been given from God with the rest of the world.
Beverly Grant-Holston
Vice President
I have been captivated and bound to the vision of Hour Generation Foundation through it’s founder and his passion for seeking wisdom of what is needed to bring about change. The desire to help others has been cultivated into a movement that I take great pride in being a part of. In my heart service is a gift that is returned two-fold because it heals from the inside out.
Gail Taylor
Secretary
The Hour Generation Foundation Board, at its core, has a heart for providing services at an elevated level that makes our guests and recipients feel like one family. It is electrifying to be a part of such a positive movement founded by a Millenial with a pure vision to make a sustainable impact and influence change in the community.
Medora Frazier
General Manager
I have always had a desire to give back to the community. Growing up as one of seven children, I consistently watched my parents make sacrifices for my brothers and me. Hour Generation Foundation has afforded me the chance to grant and provide opportunities to individuals and their families.
Mary Johnson
Executive Assistant
I’ve always been a person who tries to make a difference in people’s lives everyday. Whether it’s the person on the corner, or the person in front of the store. So, when I heard about the Mission of HGF I said “I have got to be a part of that”! I like to make a difference and an impact in people’s lives and that’s what we do at HGF.
Sherida Turner
Treasurer
There is a proverb that says “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed”. The reason that I choose to serve as a board member for HGF is to use my time, talents, and gifts to see those who are in need refreshed as their burdens are lifted. The law of reciprocity allows for me to be “refreshed” as well.
James Robinson
Executive
As a passionate advocate for marginalized communities and a leader in our young men Flying High Aviation program, I am deeply honored to serve on the board of the Hour Generation Foundation. My commitment to uplifting underserved youth and families drives me every day, and I am inspired by the Foundation’s mission to empower the next generation through education and mentorship. The opportunity to contribute my experience and enthusiasm to this esteemed organization aligns perfectly with my dedication to creating meaningful change in our communities.
