“From Pillows to Primetime” | Artha Jonassaint 2021 Retiring Address

Artha Jonassaint delivers her retiring address as National FFA Southern Region Vice President, framing her central message around three steps to leading an extraordinary life: dreaming more, loving more, and doing more. Using personal stories—including meeting a Texas student who learned Spanish for the Creed contest and her own struggles during a year marked by the pandemic and George Floyd’s murder—she encourages FFA members to turn their dreams into action, taking them “from pillows to primetime.” The address is bookended by heartfelt tributes from her family and fellow officers honoring her kindness, leadership, and impact.
