The 2017 Humanitarian Award recognized individuals who demonstrate the courage to take decisive action, the wisdom to face aggressive challenges and the willingness to sacrifice to affect causes that impact the betterment of the community. 



Lynn developed an affinity for causes impacting women, youth and teen girls as a result of her own life journey which included growing up in an abusive household, being told by a high school counselor “why go to college, all you can expect to be in life is a wife, maid or secretary,” to surviving date rape, to marrying into an abusive marriage.  She went on to graduate Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree, earn a Master of Business Administration and hold executive leadership roles with Fortune 100 companies throughout the country establishing a professional portfolio includes leadership roles at Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Harley-Davidson Motor Company - where she was the first African-American Director of Marketing.


In the midst of a successful career, Lynn married into a mentally, physically and emotionally abusive marriage.  In leaving the marriage, she also made the tough decision to leave her career.  She left both, packing a suitcase for two weeks and purchasing a one-way ticket to Arizona where she knew no one, had a job lead and set out to figure things out.  With the divorce came the loss of assets, investments, and money she had acquired prior to marriage.  After many months of therapy and working jobs that didn’t appreciate her skills, talent or experience… it became evident that survival meant becoming TheB.O.M.  and “Betting on Me!”
