Kingston Robertson, Jessica Jacobs, and Action Jackson are the 2024 honorees for the MOSES celebration.  Prior to the celebration, each of the honorees participated in interviews in which they briefly told their stories.  They described early trauma in their lives, a process of change, barriers to reentering the community, and  finally, success in establishing a personal mission.  

Kingston Robertson is currently the brand owner of Holy Godz clothing gear, a designer with a message for young people; Jessica Jacobs is serving as a Dane County community organizer for the FREE movement where she advocates for women’s issues; and Action Jackson is the owner of a professional landscaping business and the founder of J.Y.C, his Workforce Development Program, through which he provides free training for the community in lawn care and landscaping.

Beginning at 5:30 pm on December 14, guests will be treated to heavy hors d’oeuvres and desserts catered by Goodworks Community Catering/TeenWorks.  Carmella Glenn, Violence Intervention Supervisor of Public Health for Madison and Dane County, will serve as the emcee. The program will include an introduction to MOSES, three moving videos of the honorees filmed by Dee Star of Star Productions, an awards ceremony to honor the honorees’ accomplishments, and an opportunity to win raffle prizes.  MOSES wishes to thank  the sponsors of this event and the donors of raffle prizes.
