🔸 The CEO of The Scholar Blueprint educational consultancy and Founder/Executive Director of The Thrive Hub Inc, a 501c3, she has over 20 years of experience delivering community programming including SAT Prep, Prevention Education, Boarding School and College Applications, Conflict Resolution and more.
🔸 In her free time you can find her spending time with her favorite party of 5 (husband and 3 kids), encouraging her village, traveling to a new spa or exploring the globe and supporting the efforts of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

📣 We are thrilled to honor Pastor Dr. Phil Davis as the Impact Award recipient at the 2025 African American Business Leaders Council’s Roots & Rhythm Gala!

🔸 Dr. Phillip Davis is a visionary leader, respected therapist, and dedicated community advocate whose work bridges faith, mental health, and social justice. He currently serves as the Senior Pastor of Greater Shiloh Church, a dynamic multi-site ministry with locations in Easton, Stroudsburg, and Haiti.
🔸 Committed to addressing the unique challenges faced by Black men and families, Dr. Davis authored the groundbreaking book *Breaking the Silence*, which explores the mental health crisis in African American communities.
🔸 Beyond advocacy, Dr. Davis has created tangible solutions to empower individuals and families. He spearheaded the development of The Nehemiah House, a transitional living facility for men re-entering society after incarceration or experiencing homelessness. Complementing this effort, he established a homeless shelter and the Outpatient Restoration Long-Term Structure Residence (ORLTSR), which provides comprehensive support for long-term stability.
🔸 As the founder of the Lehigh Valley Black Church Housing Alliance , Dr. Davis leads a coalition dedicated to increasing homeownership among Black and Brown families and dismantling the historical barriers created by discriminatory housing policies. His advocacy for equitable housing, education, and workforce development reflects his deep commitment to social justice and community transformation.
