Last Friday we hosted a Sip & Paint and it was one for the books. From the mocktails to the conversations, everything came together just right.

NASW Ohio Chapter never fails to uplift me!! Just the sight of so many gorgeous people in fabulous outfits brought me some much needed joy 🤩 Congratulations to ALL our amazing social workers who were honored at the #naswohiogala2026 for their immeasurable impact on communities in Ohio. I wanna give a special shout out to our NASW-OH Region 5 Statewide winners Joanna Orozco (emerging leader) Aaron Thomas (student of the year), and Dr. Jacquelyn Meshelemiah (lifetime achievement). In addition to being inspirational, the way each of our statewide winners mentor, uplift, and mold students in their respective work emphasizes the true meaning of leadership.

Also!! Can we get some commotion for how stunning our Region Five Planning Committee looks??? Thank you Dr.Tyson, Zaymetrius, Dionna, and Morgan for being a superb team 🥰
