“I'm inspired to innovate at 71 years old with an urgency to secure the next generation!”
Reverend Brendolyn Lovette Jenkins Boseman was born and raised in Barnwell, South Carolina and presently resides in Aiken, South Carolina. She and Bobby are the proud parents of three beautiful, talented and gifted daughters; Razzie, Remy, and Rozlyn. Tragically, their son, Corey, predeceased them on June 27, 2015. Her prayer is that “they will arise and call her blessed”.
On June 25, 2015, she was ordained and appointed as Pastor and Lead Servant of Hudson Memorial CME Church in Augusta, Georgia. She is the Founding Visionary and Executive Director of The Imani Group, Inc., a community based non-profit organization. She works tirelessly in the areas Criminal Justice, Environmental Justice, Social Justice and Youth Leadership Development.
At twelve years old, she was among the first black students to desegregate the public schools of Barnwell, SC. She has attended South Carolina State College; American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Service; New York Institute of Technology; and Erskine College Seminary. She is currently pursuing a Master of Divinity at the Phillips School of Theology at the Interdenominational Theological Center, Atlanta, Georgia.
Reverend Jenkins Boseman always credits her mother, the late Mrs. Johnnie Ruth Jenkins, for passing the mantle of spirit and duty of activism and advocacy. Likewise, she credits her father, the late Deacon Willie Matthew Jenkins, Sr. for her understanding of servant leadership. She has coined a phrase “full circle activism” that means moving from education, to empowerment, to economic benefits and employment that transforms entire communities. She seeks the elimination of SCARs (Sexism, Classism, Ageism and Racism) from the global community.
Clearly, Reverend Brendolyn Lovette Jenkins Boseman is committed to the people that she serves and to the citizens of her community in any way that serves to uplift and empower us all. Advocacy and Activism is not what she does, but it is who she is. It is with full conviction and commitment that she believes that we achieve all that we are willing to work hard at accomplishing.

Ministry Focus: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
