Westside Story Newspaper – Online The News of The Empire – Sharing the Quest for Excellence
By Lue Dowdy
Krissy Harper a Superwoman at home and in the community! I can’t say enough about this phenomenal woman. Growing up, Krissy has always been about her community. So, this week, Queen Krissy, I salute you! See below why I selected Krissy Harper for my article a tribute to amazing women in celebration of National Women’s Month.
Though Krissy wears many hats in our community, her passion is fueled by being the Director of the Legendary San Bernardino Pacesetters Drill Team and Drum Squad. As a third generation Pacesetter, Krissy has made it her mission to serve the community by marching through the streets all around the world. With a group of over 85 young people, Krissy is determined to change the world. She often tells them that, “Building Better Lives Builds Better Communities”.
If you care enough to want to see change in a person, then you’re one step closer to changing the world. The Pacesetters has been a pillar of our community for over 60 years now and it is Krissy’s desire to continue the legacy of greatness to help rebuild the city through unconditional love and service one step at a time.
If you would like to get involved with the drill team and Krissy please look them up on Facebook under ‘The Pacesetters’. I believe right now they’re recruiting for new members. So, if you like to drum or march and you’re from the town, tap in. Remember to always march to the beat of your own DRUM. Until next week, L’s!
