The Austin NAACP is recognizing the following individuals for their outstanding work and leadership in Austin. These individuals have made enormous contributions in improving the quality of life for African Americans and serve as examples for the entire community. The individuals are listed below:

Commissioner Jeff Travillion, Dewitty/Overton Award
The Dewitty/Overton Award was established in 1966 and is given each year to an 
individual who has the most impact on civil rights, civic engagement, and policy directives. Commissioner Travillion, joins a long list of honorees, including Volma Overton, Gary Bledsoe, and the Honorable Wilhelmina Delco.

Erica Danielle, Captain Louie White Award
Danielle has been an actual example of community policing. Her knowledge of East Austin and it residents has served as a model for building trust and respect among everyone.


Courtney Bailey, outstanding leadership at Leadership Austin
Courtney’s efforts to increase 
diversity and cultural inclusiveness, have been applauded and recognized across the city.

Kazique Prince, outstanding leadership and consistent work in advocating for equity
As a 
community liaison on the staff of Austin Mayor Steve Adler, Kazique has been a textbook definition of perseverance. 

Alta Alexander, serves as a beacon of light
As the owner of Altatudes, Alta has received recognition and rave reviews, all across Austin. Her spirit and enthusiasm serves as a reminder of the importance of sacrifice and determination.

Natasha Staten, outstanding leadership in education at the Del Valle ISD
Natasha’s leadership by example and purpose-driven 
style to assist her students in striving for educational excellence at Del Valle Middle School is encouraging and exciting.

Aaron Demerson, a reputation based on his benevolent and supportive spirit 
Aaron’s impact can be felt from his previous work at the State Capital to his contributions 
on the African American Resource Advisory Commission.

Stevin Bass Kane, best-known for his tremendous entrepreneurship at Kane’s Barbershop
Stevin's energy and ambition are on 
display daily and should serve as a reminder of  the important role barbers have occupied in African American culture.

The purpose of these awards is to encourage all Austinites to strive for excellence and work collectively to improve their communities. The impact of their efforts has been noted and embraced by peers and colleagues. We invite the entire community to join us at this event and celebrate these outstanding individuals.

I am happy that you were able to host a podcast about this topic. Most people out there are not even interested in it, but still, that does not mean that we should just disregard it. If you ask me, what you are doing here is something that is worth being impressed with. I do not think that there is any other way for you to help the community. I really hope that you go and start to influence the lives of others.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

When the man I love broke my heart, I felt something did left me because I wasn't myself anymore. I had gone to several places for help and counseling yet, I got no results. Until I found [email protected] and I was introduced to Dr Muna by text +2347035449257. I explained my marriage issues with Dr Muna. I’m glad I trusted him by doing all he requested. He performed a spiritual cleansing to banish negative energies that was battling against the joy in my home and then casted a love spell. After 72 hours, the man I was missing began to call and after our conversation, he texted how much he badly misses me too. He apologized for leaving me in the dark and we got back together again.
