From the earliest days, academic distinction has defined Landon Richard’s journey. A life‑long Beaumont native, Landon graduated from Lamar University with a BBA, and went on to earn an MBA in Human Resource Management—a testament to his dedication to both academic and professional excellence.

As a third-generation member of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, Landon’s devotion to faith and service was evident from age 14 when he began in the media ministry as a Youth News Anchor on Ambassador TV antiochbmt.org. Today, he serves as Executive Director of Multimedia, overseeing all aspects of the church’s media ecosystem including:

• Ambassador Magazine and related printed communications
• Weekly morning announcements and newsletters
• Livestream production, and video recaps
• Management of social media, photography, and digital media platforms

His formal training in HR and ministry informs his leadership style: strategic, efficient, and mission‑oriented. Leveraging his MBA, Landon ensures that every media initiative—from creative content to operational workflows—is executed with excellence and purpose.

Beyond his media leadership, Landon is deeply engaged in the broader Beaumont community. As a lifelong member of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, he channels his passion for service by guiding youth, mentoring up‑and‑coming media volunteers, and supporting church outreach programs.

Landon beautifully merges professional expertise with spiritual calling, which has shaped his ministry and service at every turn.

Academic prowess has never been an option for our featured personality. Pedagogically speaking, excellence in achievement took place on every level as Brooklyn attended Price Elementary, Odom Academy, Clifton J. Ozen Senior High School, where she was crowned Homecoming Queen, Lamar University, where she received her Bachelor's Degree in Corporate Communication; Grace School of Theology where she earned her Masters of Ministry with a specialization in Christian Counseling; and Regent University where she is currently pursuing her Ph.D of Leadership in Christian Ministry. Brooklyn’s most significant accomplishment was answering her call to Ministry in Fall 2020. There has been no greater honor.

This multitalented administrative powerhouse of a young lady operates as the Chief of
Administration at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, Executive Director of John R. Adolph Ministries, and the Executive Producer for Ambassador Television. She lovingly labors week after week as she gives leadership to a huge contingency of Lamar University Students as the Off-Campus Advisor for the Relentless LU CRU of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church; she is the Executive Director of Business Development for her very own company, 2023 Vision LLP. where she does visual marketing for brands, businesses, and individuals. Not to mention, she is a professional program coordinator, a skillful event developer, and a dynamic motivational speaker.

Brooklyn was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, so when it comes to community service, she partners with numerous communal efforts across the width and breadth of the region to make Jefferson County, Texas, a better place for everyone to live. Her partnerships include but are not limited to serving on the Career and Technical Education Board in BISD, serving as an Ambassador on the Strategic Planning Committee for BISD, and partnering with other entities and agencies such as the top 40 under 40 Chamber of Commerce to build bridges and empower people  It should come as no surprise that our featured personality is a lady of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. and is an IvyBox Brand Ambassador.

To see her is to look in admiration, to be in her presence is to stand near a portrait of redemption, to shake her hand is to touch a sincere disciple of Jesus Christ who is growing towards perfection, and to get to know her is a gracious gift from God.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Minister Brooklyn D. Williams.
