As a role model to young women...
"Mrs. Scharita Lacey is an excellent example of what a Queen should exhibit. I have had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Lacey this past 2008-2009 academic school year during my reign as Miss Central State University. With great love she took on the responsibility of becoming my mentor. She wrapped me up in confidence when I lacked self- assurance and in my days of challenges she sung praises through her encouragements. This woman, who is full of grace and wisdom, has inspired me to live a life filled with courage, vigor, and endurance. She has taught me how to reach and teach the lost. Through her sacrifice many young women have discovered their life's' purpose. Those that she has touched will never forget the impact of prayer and guidance she has given them. Through seminars, socials, and spiritual inspiration her presence will not be elapsed. It is with great honor and pleasure that I can esteem this mighty woman of God. Central State University will never forget the works of her hands."

As a personal mentor and leader...
"Mrs. Scharita L. Lacey has been a strong influence in my life. She and I crossed paths in 2005 when she became the advisor of High Praise, Wright State University's praise dance team, in which I lead for two years. Shortly after, I realized that her role as my advisor and overseer was intended to be more. She was destined to become my life mentor. Scharita came into my life when the time seemed most appropriate. I had experienced some rough trials and needed someone to lean on while I was away from home. It seemed my life had turned upside down; I became lost in myself and needed personal and spiritual guidance. I thank her for allowing God to use her to help bring restoration into my life. I believe, when I was at my lowest point, she was sent to RESCUE ME! She has never judged me and has loved me through some of my biggest struggles, as well as my greatest accomplishments.
Over the years, Scharita has helped build my natural character as well as my spiritual gifts. Her spirit of integrity, perseverance, and zeal for God's people inspires me to provide personal mentoring and guidanceto other young women, and be a support system to help strengthen their relationships with God. Her passion and drive to be all that God has created her is what the essence of a woman should be, and I am proud to say that she has impacted my life tremendously."

Mentoring me through many successful and challenging times in my life that have helped develop me into a strong leader & woman of God, helping me to achieve great academic and personal success. Min.

With her continued guidance in my life, my spiritual and natural gifts have been sharpened. From her, I have learned to operate in a spirit of excellence in all things and how to hear the voice of God clearly and act upon His word in confidence and boldness. Her tremendous impact in my life has been priceless and I am forever grateful!"
