A Renewed Commitment to the Work

Although Campbell didn’t advance beyond the finals, she is deeply grateful for the experience and connecting with 112 other Remarkable Women! She remains driven by her commitment to fulfill God’s will, as inspired by Proverb 31.

“What drives me is God’s command in Proverbs 31:8-9 to ‘speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute’,” said Campbell. “When you give so much you become depleted – CW 39 and Nexstar’s “Remarkable Woman” award and recognition provides fuel for people like me and help us continue the work to help others.”

From Humble Beginnings to National Recognition: A “Remarkable Woman’s” Journey

Campbell’s journey from her humble beginnings in rural Mississippi to her status as a nationally recognized civil rights leader and Founder of the Honey Brown Hope Foundation is a testament of her unyielding commitment to service and justice.

Through the Honey Brown Hope Foundation, Campbell has been a tireless advocate for civil rights, diversity appreciation, and environmental stewardship, offering programs and resources that sow seeds of hope from the schoolhouse to the courthouse and jailhouse.

• Culturally Responsive and Accurate Education: Filling curriculum gaps with “History Talks,” exposing thousands of youth to untold stories of the Civil Rights era.

She has penned editorials and been featured in countless local and national media outlets, most notably on/in CNN, World News ABC, Crisis Magazine, Washington Times, The Grio, Texas Monthly Magazine, and the Houston Chronicle.
