Lucille O’Neal, President                                                                     

 Today as an active mother of four adult children, a grandmother of fourteen, Lucille takes her role of parenting and grand parenting very seriously!

 Her involvement in numerous youth oriented and community projects has proved that she is sincere and passionate about helping others who are less fortunate.  While being a caring and serene person, her commitment and devotion to volunteer projects is reflected in her past and current involvement with various organizations such as: The Orlando Chapter of the United Negro College Fund, Reading is Fundamental Program, Scholastic America, Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Orlando, The National Education Association, Pediatric Cancer Foundation, Florida Hospital’s Foundation Gala and Celebrity Stroll, Trey Whitfield Foundation Scholarship Fund, Orlando Minority Youth Golf Association affiliated with Meharry Medical College Scholarship Fund, Boys and Girls Clubs of Orlando, Mary McLeod Bethune Statue Project, Central Florida Women’s Resource Center, YaYa Network, President of The Mother’s of Professional Basketball Players Association, Inc., President of My Sister/My Friend Inc., and is Southeast Director of The Odessa Chambliss Quality of Life Fund which is the fund established by her family to help raise monies for educational needs and nursing scholarships.

 After 30 years of raising two sons and two daughters, Lucille resumed her studies in an Adult Education Program at Bethune-Cookman University where she graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration (June 2003).   Recently she completed her graduate program (Master of Arts in Organizational Management) at the University of Phoenix (March 2005). 

 The scripture Proverbs 3: 5 and 6 that says: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths” has been a personal creed for Lucille throughout her adult life.  This creed has now become a legacy that she faithfully passes on to her children and everyone she encounters.  While supporting her church (a quaint family focused work that is centered in the heart of Orlando’s Parramore District) and her community, the Lord placed a mantle on Lucille to speak words of encouragement, empowerment and inspiration to women (mothers, youth and seniors), men and families from a very practical and relevant platform; her personal life experiences.  Through her trials and testimonies Lucille has remained a pillar of unwavering faith and obedience to God’s direction and solutions for victorious living.  

 Although she is soft spoken and gentle, she remains strong and courageous. Lucille will always remind you that…GOD HAS THE MASTER PLAN!
