1/3: Perspective changes everything. Sometimes I step outside and look for what’s right in front of me.

For my 29th birthday (😁): Forget the wrapping paper. Forget the candles. Forget off-key singing. I’m not just blowing out candles… I’m lighting the fire some have been waiting for. 🔥 #style #fashion #birthday #nonprofit #leadership

It's National Day of Encouragement so we posted a new reel to my public fan page facebook.com/genarichardsonofficial. See what the buzz is all about. #motivation #mentalhealth #style #disabilities #disability #style

Someone asked if I was wearing red heels. Why? Today is 9/11. 2001: USA united in courage & sacrifice. -> Volunteerism soared. 2002: Medical Reserve Corps launched under HHS. -> Later, I signed up. 2025: USA is divided. -> Volunteerism is low. Lesson: We’re stronger together. #patriotday

1/2: The most unexpected Jedi moment. One of my long-time Facebook followers sent me this photo & mentioned that my posts have helped them fight the Darth Vader of #depression for YEARS. Be a Jedi. May the force be with you. #mentalhealth #disability #humor #jedi #compassion #motivation

Podcasts = Gym for your brain. 🎧 Lift perspectives, not just weights. Self-improvement, #wellness, #relationships, #resilience: -> Drive-time, laundry-time, treadmill-time = growth-time. Feed your mind or starve your potential. Brain traps > thirst traps

Saturday Night: I’m excited to share… I’ve been booked for motivational speaking engagements in coastal #Alabama and #Mississippi. If you owe me a #coffee, I’m coming to collect… with interest. And yes, I’ve been known to take down an entire pot in one sitting. #SorryNotSorry #MotivationalSpeaker

Everyone knows about the continued Nevada cybersecurity attack that has downed all their state governmental services from the DMV to business licensing to all police offices to state departments of education to state parks for days… Right?

My new branded promo material is chic and on fire! #marketing #style #classy #socialmedia #branding

Human Rights Watch is hiring for the Executive Director position. Salary range: $475,000 to $535,000/ year. As someone in executive #leadership, I can attest this international #nonprofit makes a tremendous difference. #jobs #nonprofit #executive #ceo #mentalhealth #disability #humanrights #adhd

💍😂 He's not my usual type... but no bones about it, I said yes! And... I am headed toward #SweetHomeAlabama!

Success, career growth, meaningful relationships, and new opportunities favor those who plan, strategize, and focus on the future. #motivation #photography #leadership #nonprofit #mentalhealth #disability #adhd #autusm #goalsetting #success

It has been an honor to serve as a board member of the Salvation Army, working alongside people selflessly making an impact. Together, we make a difference. #leadership #nonprofit #service #mentalhealth #disability #adhd #autism #downsyndrome #volunteer

If this is more appealing than posts about #leadership, #advocacy, #volunteerism, or #family, you may be missing the posts that reflect what actually matters in life and prioritizing #image over #impact. Don't be that person. #photography #heels #style #mentalhealth #disability #adhd #confidence

The Stalker Association of Sweet Home Alabama is clearly rolling out the red carpet. 12 noon update: Three men have jumped into my DMs on different sites, insisting we “grab coffee” the moment I cross the Alabama state line. Posting this pic of me double-fisting Dunkin’ just to keep them guessing.

My late aunt Shirley sparked my #love for #cosmetics, classic #fashion, and red nails. She mentored me and did her best to keep me out of trouble, a sometimes cheeky and witty child. I learned from the master. She made an impact for many across Alabama. #family #photography #style #women

I lock eyes with my name plate. My pulse quickens. “I’m Gena D. Richardson, thank you very much. The ‘D’ you forgot stands for Destroy Limits.” #Motivation #Confidence #Photography #Leadership #Women #Dolphins #MentalHealth #Disabilities

This photo of yours truly with the amazing Sandy Boutwell deserves to be shared. She has #style, #class, and a hilarious sense of humor. 10/10 all the way around! #women #fashion #confidence #networking #leader

Walking into the fiscal year like a million-dollar grant just cleared and I wrote the $2 million request in less than an hour. Manifest your dreams! #mentalhealth #fashion #leadership #selfconfidence #confidence #success #disability #leader

Women of all ages call me their role model. I’ve loved this home. The damp weather doesn’t do it justice. Nothing stops midnight sprints from the 3rd floor to the basement, full “dog-with-the-zoomies” mode, Kiki on my heels.

Taking a mid-sized #nonprofit leadership team to lunch in 2025 isn’t a budget-buster: everyone just orders off the value menu. Another #leadership challenge: convincing them to get dessert. Who skips ice cream in the summer, unless you’re lactose intolerant? #NonprofitLife #Humor #Business #Women

My team members will readily tell you: I’m the kind of executive #leader who believes in bringing energy and fun into the workplace. I don’t just encourage creative activities and team-building... I make them part of our culture. #leadership #nonprofit #hiring #disabilityawareness #teamwork #ceo

Happy birthday to Dr. Todd Jenkins, also known across the world as #RotaryInternational 's very own BowtieTodd Jenkins. As a powerhouse motivational speaker & the life of every event, his international impact continues to grow. Todd lives by #ServiceAboveSelf. #Rotary #Motivation #Leader

#ThrowbackThursday with the best #stylist on the Gulf Coast, Ryan Amacker! This was the day of my first spray tan, back when I bleached my teeth so much they could’ve lit up JFK Airport. What a fabulous look thanks to a true expert and legend. #beauty #style #healthandbeauty #fashion

This is an exciting time for professional #counselors nationwide. With strong legislative #advocacy & a focus on regulatory standards, we’re now seeing real progress allowing them to finally practice across state lines, like other #healthcare professionals. #mentalhealth #disability #counseling

In 2025, too many job seekers feel lost—unsure where to turn or what today’s leaders are actually looking for. It shouldn’t be that way. If you’re searching for direction, start by finding a mentor who believes in you. It makes all the difference. #jobs #jobtips #jobsearch #mentor #leadership

When I started keynoting as my own brand, I didn’t fit the typical mold. My resume gives me credibility, but being myself is my real superpower. Sure, this look is more feminine than usual. I’m embracing it: jeans (grit), pearls (class), and pink heart (compassion). Own what makes you different.

Honored to be part of #Rotary International’s 1st #MentalHealth anti-stigma campaign, & recruit nationwide. I brought in public figures ( #pageant winners to elected officials) for posters shared globally. Reminder: Some “mental health influencers” look legit. Do they have real-world results?

I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years. Some paid well. Some didn’t pay at all. But one of the most impactful #leadership roles I’ve ever held? Volunteer and a member of Rotary International. #service #leadership #style #motivation #serviceaboveself

For the record: not the mud, not the wet. It was the hose shower that nearly pushed me over the edge. #Sports #Fitness #Running #Health #Wellness

This style is called sharp leadership strategy: CEO focused on social good, lobbying, and raising major donations. Nonprofit organization grit meets corporate polish. #style #fashion #leadership #mentalhealth #disability #dogs #adhd #socialgood

Showing up as you are is powerful. Whether you use a mobility aid, interpreter, or assistive tech... own your space. I’m highlighting my some of my work here: facebook.com/genarichardsonofficial #DisabilityPride #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #Deaf #Blind #Disability #MentalHealth #OCD #ADHD

I get asked this a lot. Tonight, someone asked how I build real connections so easily, no matter where I go. My answer? I show up as myself. And I see others for who they are, not for what they can offer. People can tell when it’s real— and we want more of it. #confidence #mentalhealth #women #adhd

A British crow is asking passersby if they're alright.

Some experiences stick with you long after the name tag comes off. Serving as a #ChamberOfCommerce ambassador was one of those for me. Do you have an organization you’d go back to in a heartbeat? I'd love to hear what and why! #Business #Leadership #Nonprofit #Impact #Innovation #Entrepreneur

Now feels like the right time to confess: Under absolutely no circumstances do I enjoy wearing blue jeans. If they're part of the dress code, I may dry heave on purpose. Anyone who knows me is fully aware. #style #fashion #jeans #confidence #mentalhealth #disability #adhd #leadership
