“At the T.D. Jakes Foundation, we honor this tradition by fostering economic mobility, championing education, and equipping future generations with the tools they need to thrive. We recognize that true transformation happens when we invest in people, open doors to possibility, and remove the systemic obstacles that have long hindered progress.”—Kelley Cornish, President & CEO of the T.D. Jakes Foundation
Honoring Legacy: Building a Future Rooted in Purpose As we transition out of February, I find myself reflecting on the power of legacy—the impact of those who came before us and the responsibility we carry to shape the future. Throughout history, courageous leaders have paved the way for progress, not just through their words, but through their dedication to fairness, access, and opportunity for all. Their work reminds us that legacy is not only about remembrance; it is about action. Benjamin Banneker, a self-taught mathematician, astronomer, and inventor, used his intellect to challenge social injustices and advocate for equality. His contributions to early American science, including surveying Washington, D.C., emphasize the importance of STEAM education and innovation. The T.D. Jakes Foundation continues Banneker’s legacy by promoting Educational Access & Workforce Readiness, ensuring underrepresented communities have opportunities in STEAM fields and career advancement. By carrying forward his belief in the power of knowledge to uplift, we help bridge equity gaps and empower individuals to reach their full potential. Ursula Burns, the first Black woman CEO of a Fortune 500 company, broke through barriers in corporate America, proving that leadership and innovation have no bounds. Her journey from intern to CEO embodies the importance of access, mentorship, and career development—key components of the work of the T.D. Jakes Foundation. By supporting professional growth through mentorship and skills training, we help break systemic barriers in corporate leadership, just as Burns did. These leaders exemplified the power of resilience, innovation, and leadership in shaping a more equitable future. Their sacrifices were not made for recognition but to break barriers and create lasting change. That work is not finished—it continues in the efforts of organizations, communities, and individuals dedicated to uplifting others and creating sustainable opportunities for growth. At the T.D. Jakes Foundation, we honor this tradition by fostering economic mobility, championing education, and equipping future generations with the tools they need to thrive. We recognize that true transformation happens when we invest in people, open doors to possibility, and remove the systemic obstacles that have long hindered progress. Legacy is about more than looking back—it’s about what we build today to shape tomorrow. It’s about standing in the gap for those who need support, using our voices and resources to create pathways of opportunity, and ensuring that the next generation inherits a world where dignity and equity are not aspirations, but realities. As we move forward, let’s consider the legacy we are crafting. Each of us has the ability to leave a lasting imprint through our actions, our advocacy, and our willingness to serve. Together, we will continue the work of those who came before us, forging a future where every community thrives.
