Dr. Terriyln Rivers-Cannon is a tremendous blessing to humanity. She has emptied herself for the sake of pouring into those who face challenges that life presents. As God open doors, she humbly walks through them with the purpose of impacting the lives of those in need. She is a God-fearing woman who loves people, which is seen in her social work, and last but certainly not least, she loves her family. I pray that God’s continuous blessings remain upon her.
