Jacqueline is passionate about men, women and youth realizing their value and discovering the purpose they were created for. Jacqueline has been actively involved in serving and ministering for over eighteen years. She believes that no matter one’s background or story, it only takes one generation of change to change the story for all future generations that follow.
