Hopeologist Rosalind Tompkins has a hope chat with Aaronetta Frison, daughter of posthumous HOPEE Awardee, Rev. Dr. Bernyce Clausell.

Under her pastorate, the church became a community-based church with many outreach projects that made local and national history. She was known as the "Black Mother Teresa" and the "State Mother of Prisons." Rev. Bernyce Clausell passed on to the other side of eternity in 2015. Rev. Bernyce Clausell, the author of the book, "No Time To Die", was a staple, stalwart, steadfast, and consummate community servant in the fields of education, religion, equality, and justice, standing in the gap, in the trenches, and putting herself on the line for humanity, while proclaiming God's goodness for mankind.
