Biography
A gallant champion for the people, Felicia Mychele Brunson decided early in her life that she was going to be the change she wanted to see in her community and the world. Hailing from "The Mecca of Broward County" Carver Ranches, Brunson began constructing change in her community right after graduating from college. Becoming involved with the Homeowners Association, Brunson’s hunger for change drove her to become Vice President, and eventually became instrumental in the move to incorporate Carver Ranches and the surrounding unincorporated communities into Broward County's 31st city.
A champion for justice, equality and empowering communities, in March 2005, Brunson made history by becoming one of the inaugural City Commissioners for the 'City of West Park' where she proudly was elected as the first African American female Mayor on November 3, 2020.
A servant of the people, Brunson ultimate desire is to "serve" people. When asked why community service is so important to her, Brunson replied "Community service is a way to share the gifts that have been received." She refers to Mary McLeod Bethune, "Service is the price you pay for the God-given space you occupy." Brunson feels an obligation to take care of her community.
An advocate for youth, senior citizens, quality education, and access to social services and affordable healthcare, Brunson has earned the reputation as a voice for the young and the young-at-heart. As Founder and President of the non-profit organization, Visions of Images, Inc., Brunson desires to bridge the intergenerational gap between youth and senior citizens.
In her spare time Brunson mentors, volunteers time feeding senior citizens, coordinates back to school supplies for needy students, provides Thanksgiving baskets and Christmas gifts to needy families, coordinates senior social activities and health fairs, and provides a well-balanced summer female youth development program for young girls aged 7-18.
Because of her activism, Brunson
