NEW ORLEANS, LA, UNITED STATES, August 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Dr. Jacqueline Mohair Honored by Dr. Sonia White During the WOW Brunch at the Essence Festival

Recognition is often measured by the titles a person holds or the awards displayed on a wall. True recognition, however, is found in the lives transformed through years of unwavering service, visionary leadership, and a commitment to helping others succeed. For Dr. Jacqueline Mohair, that commitment was recently celebrated when she was honored by Dr. Sonia White as a WOW Brunch Honoree during the prestigious Essence Festival in New Orleans.

The recognition reflects decades of dedication to advancing leadership, expanding educational opportunities, and empowering women to realize their fullest potential. It also represents the impact of a woman whose life’s work has centered on building bridges that connect people with opportunities capable of changing the trajectory of their lives.

“It is truly an honor to receive this recognition from Dr. Sonia White,” said Dr. Mohair. “I am deeply grateful for this incredible acknowledgment and humbled to stand alongside so many remarkable women whose lives and work continue to inspire communities across our nation. This honor is one that I will cherish, not simply because of the award itself, but because it represents the power of women encouraging, celebrating, and uplifting one another.”

I am especially honored to be recognized as part of an extraordinary class of WOW Brunch Honorees whose leadership, service, and influence continue to inspire communities across the nation. This distinguished group includes Dr. Tragil Wade Johnson, Kimberly Perrymond, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, Joi Hunt, Dr. Brandy Williams, Dr. Cicely Gay, Dr. Nicola Mitchell, Dr. Arkell Cox, State Representative Candace N. Newell, Candace Holyfield, Khy Elijah, Dr. Nikkia McClain, Stricen Carter, Dr. La’boris Cole Sapp, Diana Bajoie, Rajel Nelson, Liza Lawrence, Shawntell McWilliams, and Modupe Rouse, just to name a few. It is a tremendous honor to be included among such accomplished women and leaders whose dedication, excellence, and commitment to service continue to make a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond.

Dr. Mohair was honored by Dr. Sonia White as a WOW Brunch Honoree during the Essence Festival in New Orleans for her outstanding contributions to leadership, education, and women’s empowerment. The distinction recognizes individuals whose professional accomplishments are matched by a genuine commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for others.

Throughout her career, Dr. Mohair has become known as a transformational leader whose influence extends well beyond traditional education. As the Founder and Chancellor of Trinity International University of Ambassadors, Founder and Chancellor of the TIUA School of Business, and Co Founder of Trinity Girls Network Corp., she has dedicated her career to developing innovative educational programs, leadership initiatives, and global opportunities that equip individuals to lead with confidence, integrity, and purpose.

Her work has touched the lives of entrepreneurs, educators, nonprofit leaders, students, executives, and aspiring professionals seeking not only academic achievement but personal transformation. Through her leadership, thousands have gained access to educational resources, mentorship, leadership development, and opportunities that have opened doors both professionally and personally.

While her accomplishments have earned recognition throughout her career, Dr. Mohair believes that every honor carries an even greater responsibility to continue serving others.

“I have always believed that leadership is about creating opportunities for someone else to succeed,” she said. “Every accomplishment I have achieved has been possible because God opened doors and because people believed in me. My responsibility is to continue opening doors for others.”

The WOW Brunch has become one of the most anticipated celebrations held during the Essence Festival, bringing together accomplished women from business, education, public service, media, entrepreneurship, and community leadership. Under the leadership of Dr. Sonia White, the event has grown into a respected platform that recognizes women whose influence extends beyond professional success and into lasting community impact.

For Dr. Mohair, being recognized by Dr. Sonia White carries special significance because of the event’s emphasis on honoring women who intentionally invest in the success of others.

“Dr. Sonia White has created something extraordinary,” Dr. Mohair said. “She understands that women become stronger when we celebrate one another’s victories. Her commitment to recognizing women who lead with excellence and serve with compassion is making an impact that will be felt for generations.”

That philosophy closely mirrors Dr. Mohair’s own approach to leadership. Throughout her career, she has consistently emphasized collaboration over competition, believing that true leadership is measured by how many others are empowered to rise.

Whether mentoring emerging leaders, developing educational initiatives, supporting nonprofit organizations, or creating programs that strengthen women in business and leadership, her mission has remained steadfast. She believes education is one of the greatest tools for changing lives and that leadership begins with service.

As she accepted this distinguished recognition, Dr. Mohair reflected not only on her personal journey but also on the countless individuals who have supported her vision throughout the years.

“This recognition belongs to everyone who has walked beside me,” she said. “It belongs to my family, my mentors, my colleagues, my students, my partners, and every woman who has trusted me to help encourage her dreams. No meaningful journey is accomplished alone.”

Receiving this honor during the Essence Festival also serves as a reminder of the importance of creating spaces where women are celebrated for their contributions while they continue building their legacy. Too often, the work of transformational leaders is recognized only after years have passed. Events such as the WOW Brunch provide an opportunity to acknowledge excellence in real time while inspiring others to pursue lives of purpose and impact.

As Dr. Mohair continues expanding her work in education, leadership development, and women’s empowerment, she remains committed to helping others discover their purpose, develop their gifts, and become leaders capable of transforming their communities.

For her, this recognition is not the destination but another meaningful milestone along a journey dedicated to service.

With heartfelt appreciation, Dr. Jacqueline Mohair extends her sincere gratitude to Dr. Sonia White for this distinguished honor and for creating a platform that celebrates women whose leadership, compassion, and commitment continue to make a lasting difference. Honored during the WOW Brunch at the Essence Festival in New Orleans, Dr. Mohair’s recognition stands as a testament to a lifetime devoted to leadership, education, and empowering women to create meaningful change in their communities and around the world.
