Hello, inspiring women of Haymarket and Gainesville! Whether you're deeply involved in service or just discovering our mission, this space is your platform to connect, reflect, and celebrate the impact we make together through mentorship, empowerment, and community transformation.

1. What Inspired Your Path with TLOD?

Since its charter in May 2018, our chapter—Top Ladies of Distinction, Inc., Haymarket-Gainesville Chapter (TLOD HGC)—has intentionally served the Western Prince William County community. We deepen legacies of service through programs like Top Teens of America (TTA) and various service initiatives. Tlodhgc

Prompt:What brought you into TLOD HGC? Was it the TTA youth mentorship, a spark to serve seniors, or our heart for community-building? Share your “why.”

2. Serving Through Strong Partnerships

From community beautification to advocacy in literacy, scholarships, and health initiatives, TLOD HGC collaborates with national organizations like the NAACP, NCNW, UNCF, Sickle Cell Disease Association, and March of Dimes—ensuring our impact aligns with broader social justice and health equity goals.

Prompt:Which service area motivates you most—youth education, elder care, health awareness, or scholarship outreach? Let’s highlight where our strengths intersect.

3. Stories of Influence & Empowerment
