Chapter Eight
Order of Constantine the Great and Saint Helen
In May 2009, I was invested as a Dame in the Imperial Order of Constantine the Great and Saint Helen.
By July 2010, I had been elevated to Dame Commander along with becoming the Ambassador to Greece.
In February 2022, I was surprised and truly blessed to be elevated to the sacred rank of Dame Grand Cross under the Order’ s new command: The Sovereign & Royal Constantinian Order of Cappadocia and San Bartolomeo.
Each ceremony was profound. Not because of the pomp, but because of the purpose.
These honors affirmed what God had already declared over my life: That I was called to lead, not from behind a podium, but from a place of humility, wisdom, and a Divine Appointment.
The Order represents legacy, valor, and virtue. To be entrusted with this mantle is to carry history on your shoulders and hope in your heart. Saint Helen created an incredible legacy and I am blessed to be a part of it in such a profound way.
Every medal, every cross, every scroll I’ ve received is also a mirror. Reflecting what is possible when a woman says yes to her calling.
