The feeling of that moment has stayed with her during her lifetime and is a motivating factor on making others&#8217; dreams possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While she did not pursue her original path, she has followed many others over the years that have assisted many in our community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strollo has spent her life being an advocate for youth as a college and career coordinator to help them achieve education and career success.She is a continuous leader in our community and uplifts others. Strollo has taken her own personal adversity and turned it into something positive for herself and her community. She created a new life after leaving an abusive marriage and became an entrepreneur launching Mommy and Me Cookie Company as a single mom with her daughter Serena by her side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the community she has led many initiatives, including the Kiwanis Bidding on a Brighter Future Gala, mobilizing volunteers and businesses to support the Justice for Children Advocacy Center, and she also is a proponent of inclusion and helped GOART bring their first Pride Parade to Genesee County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation started with Anita sharing a quote from a friend, sent to her via social media. The quote describes her &#8220;to a T&#8217; she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;To strangers you&#8217;re a classy person, to acquaintances you&#8217;re a funny disaster, but people who know you say don&#8217;t never leave her unattended.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"691\" data-attachment-id=\"75676\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/videonewsservice.net\/index.php\/2026\/05\/31\/genesee-county-community-spotlight-a-conversation-with-anita-strollo-from-centennial-park\/20260501_085222\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260501_085222.jpg?fit=1716%2C1318&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1716,1318\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SM-G991U&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1777625542&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.9&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0166&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20260501_085222\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260501_085222.jpg?fit=900%2C691&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260501_085222.jpg?resize=900%2C691&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260501_085222.jpg?resize=1024%2C786&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260501_085222.jpg?resize=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260501_085222.jpg?resize=768%2C590&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260501_085222.jpg?resize=1536%2C1180&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260501_085222.jpg?resize=150%2C115&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260501_085222.jpg?w=1716&amp;ssl=1 1716w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Anita at last month&#8217;s BEA Award Ceremony at Terry Hills.
