Guess who’s back with a brand new video!

Today’s episode of the Southside Show features the esteemed Subrenia Willis. She is the founder of Georgia Favor House—a multifaceted, non-government organization that aims to transform the lives of local youths and their families through a comprehensive set of sports, education, and community service programs.

The roots of Georgia Favor House trace back to a simple passion project that Subrenia founded in 2004 called the Georgia Favor Track Club. At the time, this project’s sole purpose was to help the local youths dream big by granting access to excellent educational opportunities through track and field.

But as a devoted family woman who worked tirelessly to help her 8 children build and lead exceptional lives, Subrenia envisioned something more. She would go on and turn that vision into reality by expanding and rebranding this passion project into what Georgia Favor House represents today.

You will also get a deeper understanding of Subrenia’s backstory, her overall philosophy about helping the community, and the achievements she has accomplished as a result of the groundbreaking impact she has made on the people of the Southside.
