What Ky loves most about Georgia:
“My favorite thing about Georgia is its people—the neighbors, elders, young leaders, and everyday citizens whose creativity, courage, and care make communities thrive. I draw inspiration from the resilience and innovation I see across Georgia and channel it into initiatives that empower Georgians to lead healthier, more equitable lives.”
What a healthy Georgia means to Ky:
“A healthy Georgia is one where every person has access to the resources, support, and opportunities to care for their mind, body, and spirit, and where every community is centered on collaboration, compassion, and shared responsibility.”
