He is most passionate about helping people become the very best version of themselves. Stevenson accomplishes this by utilizing his extensive training and certifications in Mental Health WellBeing and self care. Marcus is a former North Carolina Mental Health Block Grant committee member, a certified Job Readiness Career Development Trainer along with a National Advanced Level (3) WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) Facilitator trained by AHP - Advocates For Human Potential and Copeland Center for Wellness and Recovery, a certified NC & SC Peer Support Specialist, hold a Certification in The Science of Well-Being from Yale University and trained motivational speaker. Stevenson’s life has been dedicated to outreach programs. He spent a few years in Atlanta, GA where he volunteered with several programs, such as The Hosea Williams Feed the Homeless Project. In 1998, he returned home to NC and started volunteering at the Forsyth County Jail as a life skills instructor. Working within the system, Stevenson realized that he wanted to mentor young adults to prevent them from experiencing life behind prison walls. To connect with young people, he began working as a middle school assistant Exceptional Children teacher in the Winston Salem/Forsyth County school system. A seemingly easy assignment that required students to write down their goals, led to a disturbing discovery. He discovered that many of the middle schoolers could not write down a single goal. The few students that did write goals were mainly focused on athletics and the accompanying huge paychecks. Most students did not have a plan to help them reach their academic, spiritual or physical goals. This sobering discovery led Stevenson to found The Boyz R Back, a nonprofit that sponsored sports clinics led by professional athletes. He used sports as the bait, but the real focus was on improving life skills, drug awareness, gang prevention and healthy living. Stevenson recently relocated to Charleston, SC and co-founded Holy City Well Being, a nonprofit organization designed to bring wellness, self care and trauma awareness to families, schools, faith based communities and the workplace. Stevenson is passionate about reaching people from all walks of life. He has extensive training and certifications in career development, vision board education and Adverse Childhood Experiences. Stevenson received the Maya Angelou Wake Forest University Community Impact Champion Award as well as many other awards related to his devotion to healthy living and mental health wellbeing as featured in the February 2022 edition of HELPFUL LIVING Magazine. He has served as a Master Mentor, Life Coach, former Training Director for SC Share, Regional Program Leader for Nami “Ending the Silence”, Grant Program Director and currently host his own radio show “Your Wealth in Youth Wellness” on 963 ohm radio Charleston SC where he goes by Mr. Well-Being.

Farrah wanted to use her time and skills to help with this problem and started HEART to fill the void in creative, stimulating, and community engaged services for adults with special needs. Farrah’s vision with HEART is building strong community support for adults with special needs who want to develop and identify as artists, building a strong team of HEART mentors, a financially sustainable infrastructure, and producing high quality and inclusive community art events.

He and his wife both enjoy traveling, going to the movies, and collecting music. He is an avid deep sea fisherman. He earned a Bachelor’s of Science Degree from High Point University and a Master of Business Administration Degree from Strayer University. Murray is also a veteran of the Army National Guard having served for eight years. As a young man, Murray became aware of the many ills and unique challenges that a vast number of citizens in Winston-Salem were confronted with. Like most community volunteers and organizers, he began to serve mankind within the walls of a local church. From there, he began to broaden his scope and teach where many of the spiritually and morally wounded were located – the local jail. Community and Professional Service: For approximately 20 years, Murray volunteered as a Life Skills and Bible Instructor with the Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center. While serving in this capacity, he was privileged to assist with the rehabilitation process of local inmates by strategically fusing essential skills for everyday living along with Biblical principles to help each inmate achieve the goal of becoming a productive citizen in society. To enhance the effectiveness of his service to the community, after departing from a career in public education, he embarked upon a career in the financial arena with the Winston-Salem Federal Credit Union, where he served as Branch Manager in his final role, with more than 14 years of service. Murray is currently an Operations Manager for NCWorks in Guilford County. In addition, he is also a BSP Math Instructor with Forsyth Technical Community College. As a BSP Instructor, he helped start the evening GED class at the Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center that focused on educating adults and high school students who are incarcerated. While focusing a great deal of his attention on the incarcerated population, Murray quickly noticed a pattern of behaviors or lifestyles which mirrored the national level of approximately 80% of committed crimes that were drug offenses – the involvement with the illegal drug arena. Inspired by the Lord, he began teaching the subject of “drug addiction” from a Biblical perspective which eventually would lead to the publishing of his first book – “Drug Addiction: Is There Any Hope? A Biblical Perspective.” He has continued teaching the subject while bringing attention to the unique correlation of information, knowledge, and confidence. His desire is that all students will leave with the understanding that – the more information we have, the more knowledge we gain and the more confident we become in life. 2018 National Big Brother of the Year for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America. Murray is also a proud member of the Psi Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc! With the fraternity, he serves an officer in the area of finance.
