Her international nonprofit provides social, emotional, and mental support to aging individuals, and she has personally distributed over 2,500 books to children worldwide. A former martial artist in Nisei Goju-Ryu, she is now fulfilling her dream of returning to Taekwon-Do under Master G. As a new board member, Chaplain Gray is ready to uplift and inspire, proving that true strength comes from within.
