Dacula Leader Is 'Truly Devoted' To Community, Advocating For Others

Dacula, GA — Without community leaders, Dacula wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Amanda Scisney, a Dacula reader who nominated Dr. Tracey S. Fisher.

How do you know this community leader?

Volunteerism.

What does this community leader do?

Dr. Tracey S. Fisher's political advocacy in the community speaks for itself. She was the recipient of Georgia House Resolution #928, Outstanding Community Advocacy, April 20, 2022. This surprise award was in honor of many dedicated years of work to help engage voters in actively participating in government, and her belief that women and other people-of-color deserve a seat at the table of governmental decision-making. The award was presented by HD 105 Representative Donna McLeod, and signed by all of the Gwinnett House Representatives. Dr. Tracey Fisher continuously writes promotional materials and speaks with community leaders, the media, community-service organizations, church elders, and so many others to help “Get The Vote Out” in Gwinnett County. She has made contact with 1000+ people by phone banking and texting through the Mobilize Us application. She has participated in several voter registration drives and registered more than 500 new and first time voters this past year alone!

A few other notable ways she has gained national recognition for her leadership include but are not limited to:

• Being the recipient of the “Excellence in Civic Engagement” award within the South Atlantic Region of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
• Interviewed by WSB-TV, June 2021 when Vice President Kamala Harris came to speak in Atlanta.
• Speaking with and supporting Senator Warnock at several political events.
• She was selected by the regional director of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. to be one of only three authors for a virtual book talk that reached hundreds of members. Dr. Fisher has written and self-published 3 bestseller books on Amazon about diversity, equity, and inclusion. Her second book, 'Presents: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion & Other Gifts,' actually debuted at #1 on Amazon nationwide, in July 2021!

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

She is a wonderful mentor to me. Dr. Fisher is truly devoted to helping people not only vote, but to understand the importance of why they should vote. I believe that she should be publicly recognized for all of the hard work she puts in so we can show her as a community how much she is appreciated and respected by so many people.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

She is my she-ro and even if she doesn't win the award she will always be the winner in my book.
