“The Arc Caddo-Bossier had the privilege of working with Alycia and her husband, Marty, when Alycia was invited to serve as the keynote speaker for our Annual Leadership Luncheon in Shreveport, LA. Both Alycia and Marty were deeply engaged and genuinely enthusiastic about learning more of our nonprofit organization’s programs, services, as well as our mission of building unlimited opportunities for people with disabilities. Alycia is a remarkably powerful speaker whose words resonate deeply. She is inspiring and motivating, sharing stories that ignite a genuine desire to build a more inclusive world. Her heartfelt and authentic message on disability inclusion, delivered with clarity and a compelling call to action, left a lasting impression in Shreveport-Bossier. Alycia’s positivity and passion as a disability advocate uplift everyone fortunate enough to have met her at our luncheon. Her and Marty’s presence was a true gift—and they will always feel like family to all of us, including the individuals who we are honored to serve, at The Arc Caddo-Bossier.
