Testimonials

“I feel like I began a journey towards myself. I developed an awareness of my strengths and weaknesses that I can now embrace instead of shunning, and a realization that I’m not alone. The people I shared this experience with helped create a safe space for me to shed that old skin and truly be present in the moment without worry of tomorrow– just full gratitude that there’s hope for tomorrow. ”

-Brittney Gray, 2025 Fellow

“I entered the Overton Fellowship on unstable ground as a leader. I was confident in my vision for crewOS and I knew the tasks ahead of me. Through the Fellowship I gained clarity and practical guidance on the ways that I needed to grow as a leader, in order for my team to reach its full potential. Being surrounded by an incredible group of ambitious leaders and supported by great coaches pushed me to level up in a way that I didn’t think was possible. As a proud alum, I’m excited to see the Overton Fellowship continue to grow and the impact it will have on the future of Birmingham.”
