Dr. Antoinette Pigatt, HS-BCP

Walden University

“I am committed to affecting positive change in individuals, families, and society. As a

spiritual being, grounded in the practice and principles of Christianity, I honor this commitment

and purpose as my ministry to the world. I am a firm believer in human service. Therefore, my

passion for human service motivates a desire to see each person experience the uniqueness of

who they are and to operate in purpose with love, acceptance, and awareness. As a member of

the African-American community, I celebrate diversity, pledge to cultural humility, and commit

to providing cross-cultural service. As such, I support advocacy for the wellness, equitable

treatment, and advancement of all people. I believe in the power of love, awareness, forgiveness,

acceptance, restoration, reconciliation, choice, and spirituality to facilitate individual and family

growth through prevention and intervention support services.”
