Lydia’s Nest first-ever Golden Globes Gala

Lydia’s Nest hosted its first-ever Golden Globes Gala, honoring the people and partners who help serve Johnsonville and surrounding communities with compassion and purpose.  The Gala celebrated the supporters, partners, and community champions who continue to advance Dr. Barbara Black’s mission of service and empowerment. 

The evening was masterfully led by Nicole Huckabee, alongside red-carpet hosts Tonya Brown of WPDE News 15 and empowerment coach Tonya Robinson.

We are deeply grateful to our Gold Sponsor, Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union, and to all sponsors and donors who made this night unforgettable. Congratulations to all of our Golden Globes Award recipients.

“The Golden Globes Gala was more than a celebration—it was a moment of gratitude. Every sponsor, donor, volunteer, and supporter represented the heart behind the mission. Because of you, Lydia’s Nest can continue meeting needs, restoring hope, and uplifting families across Johnsonville and surrounding communities.”
