Rose In Concrete’s October Facilitator Appreciation Spotlight: THE Dr. Phee Sterling-Thompson 🌹
There are people who give their time, and then there are people who give a piece of themselves. Dr. Phee, we are grateful that you did both. Some people walk into a room and teach a lesson. Others walk in and leave a seed that continues to grow long after they leave. Dr. Phee, you did exactly that.
The Rose In Concrete family wants to take a moment to celebrate YOU. Thank you for making room in your schedule to pour into our youth, mentors, and leadership team. Your willingness to show up, share your knowledge, and open up about your own life experiences speaks volumes about the woman you are and the heart you carry for others.
What made your presence so special was not just what you taught, but how you taught it. You were real, vulnerable, transparent, and unapologetically authentic. You allowed your experiences to become lessons, your wisdom to become guidance, and your voice to become an opportunity for someone else to see things differently. That takes courage, and we do not take that lightly.
Our October sessions challenged our youth to explore “Who Am I?” by discovering their strengths, identifying their purpose, and understanding what it truly means to lead without following the crowd. You reminded us that leadership is not defined by a title or position, but by our actions, the courage to use our voices, and our willingness to pour into others. Through your wisdom and example, you showed our youth that true leadership starts within. That is an impact worth celebrating.
Dr. Phee, thank you for being willing to share not just your knowledge, but your story. Thank you for giving our village something meaningful to carry beyond the session.
This October, we celebrate the woman behind the wisdom, the heart behind the knowledge, and the purpose behind the work. We pray that the same encouragement and inspiration you give to others continue to find their way back to you.
With love, honor, and sincere appreciation,
The Rose In Concrete Family 🌹
