Mr. and Mrs. Burgess began their commitment prior to launching The Art of Living fostering kids placed into DFACS custody. They served as a caregiver, advocate, and mentor for both males and females of all ages. It was through their fostering that they learned that life can be very fulfilling, if you can live each day knowing that you have made a difference in someone’s life. Though it was difficult, Chrishonda and Damon were able to fulfill the purpose on daily basis, while meeting their education goals. Chrishonda Burgess is a graduate of the Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA, where she earned a bachelors degree in Psychology. She continued her studies at Cambridge College in Boston, Massachusetts, where she received her Master’s in Counseling. Through her studies and internships Chrishonda was afforded the opportunity of working at Creative Community Services as a Clinical Supervisor. She also worked as a Support Coordinator for Creative Community Services. Damon Burgess is former member of the US Armed Forces. He received his Bachelors in Computer Science from Devry University in Atlanta, GA. Mr. Burgess was formerly employed at Bellsouth as an IT Specialist. He also spent over 8 years working in Real Estate and the Construction industry. Collectively Damon and Chrishonda were able to merge their education and experience and are now responsible for the daily operation of day support centers and residential programs in the Metro Atlanta area.
