A Fierce Advocate for Young Adults

Dr. Taylor is widely recognized for her commitment to empowering students and young adults to achieve their full potential. Her leadership and mentorship align perfectly with the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters Florida:to ignite the power and promise of youth across our state.

Strengthening Our Board with Education and Leadership

At Big Brothers Big Sisters Association of Florida, we believe the strength of our Board comes from leaders who bring vision, expertise, and a passion for helping youth succeed. Dr. Taylor’s extensive background in higher education, business, and mentorship adds an invaluable perspective to our statewide leadership.

Her connection to Florida A&M University, a leading HBCU, also creates opportunities for us to deepen our outreach to young professionals and students who can serve as role models. Across Florida, our greatest need is recruiting more men of color as mentors because so many young boys on our waitlist are hoping for someone who looks like them and understands their journey. Dr. Taylor’s voice and influence will help us open new pathways to ignite that next generation of Bigs.

Are you passionate about mentorship, equity, and leadership? We are actively seeking board members from all corners of Florida who are committed to making a difference.
