When the State of California officially selected Mysti’s Adult & Family Services as a PATH CITED Round 4 awardee for Contra Costa County, it wasn’t just another program milestone. It was a defining moment in my work, leadership, and the mission that has shaped my life for over two decades.

By Giovanne Schachere, MS CEO | Mystis Adult & Family Services 1. I Didn’t Come From the Top — I Built Up From the Floor Let’s be clear: I didn’t start in boardrooms.

This tribute brings together the voices of her children — my brother, my sister, and me — to honor her life and legacy. It’s not just about what we lost. It’s about what we carry. Her lessons still guide us. Her words still comfort us. Her presence still fuels

I recently had the honor of being featured in Shoutout LA, where I shared my journey from growing up in South LA to building Mysti’s Adult and Family Services, raising a family, and pursuing a graduate degree while leading a multi-state organization. In this candid interview, I talk about the impact of my mother’s legacy, the meaning behind “hand-up” services, and why I believe in building systems that restore dignity and drive generational change. 👉🏾 Click here to read the
