However, it was bestowed to her in 2018 after her then boyfriend, now husband, was injured while letting their dog out before bed.

One of those bullets shattered his T1 vertebrae and now lives with quadriplegia. Since that day Felicia has been active in advocating for those living with mobility issues and their caregivers. She has volunteered as a Regional Champion, Paralysis Resource Ambassador, and a Peer Mentor for the Christopher and Dana Reeve foundation and through their nomination have been appointed to the ACL RAISE Family Caregiving Advisory Council. She enjoys reading, writing, and spending quality like with her Boos (4 of her best friends) and family. She lives in Southeastern Georgia with her husband, her mother, along with their dog, and cats.
