She thinks of herself as ‘Mattie’s Mom’ and you may know her as Dr. Jeni Stepanek but here at WAFF she goes by one title only: Mama Peace (@jenistepanek). Worthy of all her many names and accolades, Jeni has helped mentor and teach every single Three Dot Dash (3DD) Global Teen Leader (GTL) since the programs inception in 2008. 3DD was built on the legacy of Jeni’s changemaker son, the late Mattie J.T Stepanek, and every year since 2008, Jeni has brought her entire heart, huge brain, and special presence to ensuring young people from all over the world are equipped with the tools they need to find peace: first for themselves, then for their communities, and finally, for the world, at large. We’d be lost without you, Mama Peace, and as you always remind us, please allow us to remind you: YOU MATTER. ✌❤️ Illustrations 🎨 by the talented @yallaroza #WeAreFamily #WeAreFamilyFoundation #whatmakesyoumove #socialentrepreneurs #changemakers
