Takya Browning, President 2014, 2015 & 2016

At the end of Augusta Pride 2016, Takya Browning stepped down as president after serving three years in the position, but will remain active on the board and committee as Past President. During her tenure, she was able to make a positive impact on the current and future goals of Augusta Pride and the LGBTQA community. The Augusta Pride Committee would like to recognize her as a true hero and leader, while thanking her for her undying commitment, unyielding passion, and countless hours of volunteer service. Browning was able to stabilize the festival into a week-long event, while promoting continued growth in attendance. She began as a volunteer and we thank her for her mentoring, guidance, and patience since the beginning of Augusta Pride. We pledge to be good stewards of your vision. As you know, we can do this, but only together.
