 Meet Barbara Lewis
On Thursday, February 27, we were honored to recognize Barbara Lewis as our 2025 Black History Month Award recipient for District 14.
Barbara Lewis is a dedicated community servant, educational leader, and advocate for diversity and empowerment. Overcoming early challenges, including time in foster care, Barbara has become a steadfast leader. After moving to Louisville, Kentucky, in 1996, she focused on making a positive impact, particularly in the West End community.
Barbara's dedication to education saw her earn her GED, an associate degree in Early Childhood Development, a Bachelor's in Pastoral and Christian Studies, and she's currently pursuing a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.
In 2024, Barbara ran for Jefferson County School Board Representative District 4, garnering 47% of the vote. Her passion for community empowerment is evident in the programs she developed:
- Liberty House of Freedom Addiction Recovery Program
- B.O.Y.S. (Born Outstanding Youthful and Strong
- G.I.R.L.S. (Gifted Individuals Reaching Life Success
- Think Before You Sink
- Second Chance Employment
Barbara has also contributed significantly to education and community service, supporting the mentally challenged, senior citizens, and women's ministries. Her vision of "empowering one family at a time" drives her to build stronger, more inclusive communities.
We celebrate Barbara for being a champion of diversity, empowerment, and community transformation!
