holds a Bachelor’s degree in Theology and a Master’s degree in
Religious Education. She is an international speaker traveling

Pastor Mixon
understands first hand what it’s like to go through traumatic
experiences during the teen-age years, as a result, she has
founded an organization for young girls between the ages of
thirteen and nine-teen, known as, PEARLS. PEARLS is a nationally
recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization focusing on the
needs, pressures and concerns of inner city girls teaching them
life skills and biblical principals preparing them for
womanhood. PEARLS was established to encourage trust and
friendship with other girls, while addressing the reality of
life and building their self-esteem, as they prepare for a
brighter future. As the young ladies matriculate through the
program, PEARLS holds an annual Cotillion and graduation
ceremony celebrating the right of passage into womanhood. Pastor
Mixon’s PEARLS program which in its acronymic term means
Preparing Early As Rich Ladies of Success, has been most
successful in helping many young girls become positive,
responsible young ladies of their church and community.
