ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / April 10, 2023 / Georgia State Representative Billy Mitchell - District 88, who is also the outgoing President of the highly regarded National Black Caucus of State Legislators, presented Dr. Rashad Richey with a Georgia State Resolution for his community-based work alongside Fulton County judges, including Chief Judge Cassandra Kirk of Fulton Magistrate Court, the largest court in the Southeast region of America. Many know Dr. Richey across the country for his national daily broadcasts and university lecture series, but it's what he does away from the camera that endears him to many in the Metro Atlanta community and beyond. Chief Judge Kirk appointed Dr. Richey to assist the court with developing, implementing, managing, and supporting programs to bridge divides that exist between communities and courts. The programs Dr. Richey has helped create, manage, guide, and/or provide support for include, the Misdemeanor Mental Health Court, Family Rental Assistance Coalition, Day of Love (free weddings), Bang The Gavel (mentorship program), mass communication methodologies to better inform residents, various free legal clinics for the community annually, town halls, and philanthropic partnerships, just to name a few. "Dr. Richey's leadership not only provides valuable resources for those who access the court… The services, philanthropic partnerships, and specialty programs save the county and taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars annually at a minimum", said Jeremy Whitmore, a good governance policy expert, and Fulton resident.

According to Chief Judge Kirk, "Words are inadequate to express our gratitude to Dr. Richey. As a Court, we are new-- less than 10 years old. Dr. Richey's innovation, advocacy, and guidance have ensured that our judges and Court remain relevant and deeply connected to our community through engagement, philanthropy, and accessibility. As the Chief Magistrate Judge, I appreciate Dr. Richey's connection to the community, his expertise in so many areas, and his never-ending support of our Court. We are honored that Representative Mitchell offered this proclamation to recognize his work. Thanks to Dr. Richey, we have the joy of informing, engaging, and empowering our community. That's life-changing for us and those we serve."

"I've known Dr. Richey for over 10 years and his dedication to people, in particular historically marginalized communities, is second to none. While many know him through his broadcast platforms, it's what Dr. Richey does behind the scenes- helping families, youth, and young adults, that really sets him apart. It was an honor to bestow this State Resolution on such a deserving leader", said GA State Representative Billy Mitchell.

Dr. Richey is a consummate people advocate who is currently completing his Juris Doctor (law degree) at the Birmingham School of Law, has provided lecture series at some of America's top universities, including the University of Michigan, Reinhardt University, Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse School of Medicine, Morris Brown College, and other notable institutions. He holds several advanced degrees, including completing doctoral research studies in federal policy reform from Clark Atlanta University, an additional research-based Ph.D. in international intersectionality contextualized through policy and religion from the Business University of Costa Rica, an MBA from Beulah Heights University, a Master of Science in Applied Physics and Quantum Mechanics from UNEM University and completed studies in Executive Leadership through Cornell University's eCornell program to name a few.
