St. Louis, Missouri, native and resident Porscha Anderson is the face and founder of The Chosen Legacy, a brand that consists of two connected entities: the Chosen Legacy Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and Chosen Legacy Insurance Group, an insurance brokerage firm.
The Chosen Legacy Project is the education, outreach, and community activation side of Porscha’s work. Through Legacy Parties, financial empowerment workshops, community events, educational programming, and partnerships with faith-based organizations, businesses, and community organizations, they bring information and resources directly into the spaces where people already live, work, worship, and gather. She says that the goal of the Project is to educate, initiate, and activate. “We help families and small business owners better understand financial protection, wealth building, estate and legacy planning, and the resources available to them. We also help identify gaps and connect people to appropriate professionals and community resources so they can take informed action,” she says.
Chosen Legacy Insurance Group is the brokerage firm that Porscha operates from. Through its growing network of licensed agents, it provides insurance and financial solutions, including term life insurance, whole life and final expense coverage, Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policies, children’s policies, living benefits, annuities, and health insurance solutions. They also help connect families to estate and legacy planning resources, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, beneficiary planning, and other preparations that help individuals document their wishes and prepare for the transfer of assets. “We have a strong commitment to serving families, seniors, entrepreneurs, and small business owners. We help them think beyond immediate financial needs and begin creating strategies around protection, ownership, wealth building, and legacy,” Porscha shares.
Dr. Don Darius Butler, affectionately known as “Pastor B,” founded and leads The Concord Fellowship in Huntsville, Alabama, an intergenerational church plant rooted in Baptist faith and heritage. The Concord Fellowship serves the Madison County community with a vision of creating community in Christ. Its identity is captured in a simple but intentional declaration: “We’re a different kind of church,” Dr. Butler says. “We envision a family of faith where every generation belongs, no one is a stranger, and our servant-disciples transform our community.”
Dr. Butler’s journey into ministry began long before he arrived in Huntsville. A Christian minister for more than 25 years, he was raised in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. The Pentecostal tradition shaped his faith, with influences from African Methodism and Anglicanism, and nearly 35 years ago, he professed his faith as a Baptist.
For 105 years, Smith, Bizzell & Warner Funeral Service has served families in Gary, IN, and its surrounding communities. Founded by J. D. Smith, the firm opened its doors at 2295 Washington Street in 1921, beginning with only one full-time employee. Benjamin Bizzell soon partnered with Smith and became the firm’s manager when Smith passed away in 1943. In 1959, Bizzell purchased the business from Smith’s wife and added his name to the marquee, and the Smith, Bizzell Funeral Home era began. In 1972, Ede Warner purchased the business and added his name, and Smith, Bizzell & Warner Funeral Home was born. In 1990, Warner purchased the Sportsman’s Club at 4209 Grant Street (4209 Richard Gordon Hatcher Blvd.) and Smith, Bizzell & Warner Funeral Home changed locations and continues to operate there today.
In 1996, Ede Warner decided to sell the funeral home to Concord Family Services, Inc., a funeral service management company serving primarily ethnic and culturally diverse communities. With its current ownership, they continue to provide impeccable and personalized funeral service to the Gary and Northwestern Indiana communities. They also have an additional location in Tampa, FL.
