It’s amazing how one conversation can turn into such a meaningful connection! ❤️

A while back, I met the wonderful Frances Bailey at a gala where we were both being honored. We struck up a conversation, instantly connected, and have stayed in touch ever since. So when Frances reached out to share that she wanted to honor me at her own event, it truly meant a lot.

I’m so grateful to have received the 2026 Innovator of the Year Award this August from Purpose Zeal Academy! 🏆✨

Frances, thank you for this beautiful honor, for thinking of me, and for the heart you have for celebrating and uplifting others. It was such a joy to be part of something so special.

One of my favorite parts of this journey has been the incredible people I’ve met along the way. You never quite know where a conversation might lead, and this was such a beautiful reminder of that.

Thank you again to Drs. Mr & Mrs. Bailey! ❤️😄

Today, I am truly humbled and grateful. ❤️

Although I would have loved to be in Atlanta in person for the Purpose Zeal Academy & Purpose Zeal Apostolic Education Network Award and Commencement Inaugural, I am so honored to be recognized as Mentor & Prophet of the Year.

Thank you, Dr. Frances Ann Bailey and Dr. Kentrel Bailey, for this beautiful honor and for celebrating the work God has entrusted to my hands.

They were also part of a very special milestone in my life, awarding me my first honorary Doctorate of Christian Humanities from the School of Great Commission Theology Seminary. I will always be grateful.

One thing I continue to learn is that you never really know how far your YES to God will reach.

I’m not surprised by what God can do through obedience, but I am always humbled when someone tells me that my ministry, my mentorship, my teaching, or simply my life has blessed them.

I don’t take that lightly.

And I believe this is only the beginning. I believe God is going to allow this ministry to reach, heal, build, and impact even more lives in the days ahead.

So today, I receive this honor with a grateful heart and give God ALL the glory.

Mentor & Prophet of the Year. 🥹❤️

Thank You, Lord, for trusting me with the assignment.

And thank you again, Dr. Frances Ann Bailey and Dr. Kentrel Bailey, for this beautiful honor. 🙏🏾

“Purpose has a way of leaving footprints long before it leaves a legacy.” 👣👠✨

I’m incredibly honored and humbled to share that I have been selected to receive the Innovator of the Year Award from Purpose Zeal Academy.

This recognition is especially meaningful because innovation has never been my destination—it has been my way of serving. Every idea I’ve pursued has been driven by a desire to solve meaningful problems, create opportunities for others, and transform possibility into measurable impact. Knowing that others see and value that mission is both humbling and deeply encouraging.

My sincere thank you to Dr. Frances Ann Bailey @franannbailey , the visionary behind Purpose Zeal Academy @purpose_zeal , for considering me for this incredible honor. Your commitment to recognizing purpose-driven leaders and innovators is inspiring, and I am truly grateful.

This recognition is a reminder that the seeds we faithfully nurture will eventually begin to bloom where everyone can see them. It encourages me to continue building, creating, and helping others transform possibility into meaningful opportunity.

I would love for you to celebrate this special moment with me! Guests coming to support & network will be able to attend free of charge.

This one is emotional for me, every test I have encountered and endured these last couple of years put me in a deep depression, losing a brother that was my best friend to losing my grandfather, grandmother and dad all back to back to losing my marriage that came after all the deaths put me in a dark place. Then GOD spoke and said CJ I’m not done with you yet, you will not suffer you will keep going. I say this everyone has a purpose on this Earth, you can continue to be stuck In depression or fight and keep going and I Choose to keep Going, Aug 22, 2026 I’ll officially become DR Courtney Johnson, this is a major achievement in my life and I’m very grateful and honored and humbled to accept this Doctorate, GOD is Amazing and I give all credit to Him for Blessing me. Thank you as well to my publicist @sassipublicist for encouraging me when I didn’t think I could make it.
