On March 17, 2025, the Douglas Mayor’s Youth Council (DMYC) conducted its monthly meeting. Junior Mayor Destiny Henderson led the meeting and recognized Coffee High School Girls’  basketball coach Tasha Kellogg as the outstanding Community Spotlight for March. Coffee Board of Education Assistant Superintendent Lee Mobley opened the meeting with a special prayer. The special guest speaker was Kayli Herrin, the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) victim advocate at Satilla Advocacy Services. 

The Youth Council honored the Coffee High School Lady Trojans basketball team, who are the 2025 Region 2-5A girls basketball champions. The team achieved an impressive record of 27 wins and 2 losses. The team members along with the Youth Council recognized head coach Tasha Kellogg as the Community Spotlight recipient. Tasha is a dedicated educator and coach, passionate about developing young athletes both on and off the court. She is married to Dr. Tyrone Kellogg and is a proud mother of four children: Cedrick Leggett, Nyla Leggett, Brylin Kimble, and Bradin Kimble. Raised in Ashburn, Georgia, she graduated from Turner County High School. Coach Kellogg earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Albany State University and also holds a Specialist Degree in Teacher Leadership from Georgia Southwestern State University.

Kayli Herrin, a victim advocate and forensic interviewer at Satilla Advocacy Services, was the guest speaker for March. She is dedicated to supporting youth affected by or at risk of human trafficking, as well as educating the community about the associated risk factors and procedures related to Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) cases. Kayli graduated from Brantley County High School in 2020 and earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Columbus State University in 2024. She joined Satilla Advocacy Services in May 2024 after previously working as an advocate for domestic violence victims. Since starting her position, she has completed 69 hours of specialized training focused on her advocacy work, which includes educating both youth and adults.

During the meeting, updates were provided on various mentoring programs and community events. GEMS will hold a meeting Saturday, March 22, focusing on college readiness and scholarships. Dinitra Williams, the DMYC and Teen Court Coordinator, shared insights on upcoming initiatives, including information from the Keep Douglas Beautiful committee regarding the Great American Cleanup, which is scheduled for April 26th from 9 AM to 12 PM. The DMYC concluded its March meeting with a quote by Koft Annon, emphasizing that anyone, regardless of age, can be a leader and make a difference.
