Time to Heal America™ Staff

Dr. Jacquelyn Minor, Director of Operations for Time to Heal America™ , is no stranger to empowering communities. Most of her work has focused on equipping young adults, primarily women, with values, skills and mindsets that allow them to become confident, self-sufficient contributors to their households, neighborhoods, schools, business communities, and governments. 

Dr. Minor currently serves in various roles to advance her mission to grow strong women and families. As a board member of Forged Flowers, she assists in the roles of secretary and monthly emcee for this organization designed to groom women and girls as leaders. Additionally, since 2012, she has also hosted women’s Connect groups, teaching women God made them strong, beautiful, creative, powerful, and precious, and that His word can be trusted to for guidance through life. Furthermore, in 2015, Dr. Minor joined the Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce to serve the business community through her work with the Arlington Women’s Alliance. This alliance focuses on the economic and societal empowerment of women through programming, professional development, networking, recognition, and mentoring. Dr. Minor is particularly excited about the mentoring program underway with UTA’s Lady Mavs, the women’s basketball team.

Dr. Minor believes that teaching – educating others – is her calling, and since 1997, she has faithfully served in this field. With over 20 years of experience in higher education and 5 years in K-12 education, she has this to share with others: “There is nothing more powerful than a literate mind.” Literacy is Dr. Minor’s passion, whether it falls in the area of financial literacy, digital literacy, cultural literacy, or language and literacy. 

A huge fan of “Me time,” Jacquelyn enjoys sitting quietly on her front porch in the mornings, and taking long, evening walks by a lake close to her home. It is a reminder that to be of service to others, we must first take care of ourselves. She is honored and excited to be a part of the re-envisioning and rebuilding that will take place through “Time to Heal America™.”
