Join us as we welcome back Melissa King-Jones, assistant superintendent of the Clayton County Transitional Center and a distinguished panelist for “The Faces Behind the Mask: Bullying Masquerade Gala 2026.”
As a survivor of bullying and trauma, Melissa understands firsthand the impact of emotional wounds and the power of resilience. Through determination and the support of loved ones, she transformed adversity into purpose.
Drawing from both her personal journey and professional leadership, Melissa brings valuable insight to our discussion on bullying, healing, and personal growth.
Her life mantra, inspired by Angela Davis, says it best:
“I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.”
We are honored to have Melissa share her voice, wisdom, and experiences as we explore the many faces behind the mask. Melissa King-Jones will be at our annual gala event held on Saturday, October 24, 2026. This year’s location is the Hotel Indigo Atlanta-Vinings Ballpark Area, 2857 Paces Ferry Road SE, Atlanta, GA 30339. We hope to see you there! Stay tuned; more to follow as we get closer to the event date.
