Dr. Janice Crenshaw: A Legacy of Leadership, Faith, and Empowerment

When history looks back at the birth of Ms. Corporate America Georgia, one name will shine with distinct and lasting honor — Dr. Janice Crenshaw.
In 2025, Dr. Crenshaw was crowned the very first Honorary Queen of Ms. Corporate America Georgia, a distinction reserved for a woman whose life embodies excellence, integrity, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to both community and global impact. Her selection as the inaugural Honorary Queen is not just a title — it is a celebration of decades of transformational leadership, pioneering service, and faithful ministry.
A passionate, innovative organizational leader and dynamic Minister of the Gospel, Dr. Crenshaw’s journey is marked by a lifetime of breaking barriers and building bridges. Armed with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Nursing and a Doctorate in Divinity, she seamlessly blended her expertise in healthcare, leadership, and ministry to become a beacon of hope both nationally and internationally. Her voice has echoed across the United States, London, West Africa, South Africa, and Germany, not only as a conference speaker but also as a gospel singer, delivering the Good News of Jesus Christ with conviction and compassion.
At the core of her work is Excel Community Development Corp., the 501(c)(3) nonprofit she leads with fierce dedication. Under her presidency, Excel has become a lifeline for hundreds of women — including those once incarcerated — providing them with biblically based empowerment tools that have rewritten their stories from despair to destiny. Many who once felt forgotten now live vibrant, productive lives because of the seeds Dr. Crenshaw so faithfully sowed.
But her influence doesn’t stop there. Dr. Crenshaw’s vision is global. She has consistently partnered with nonprofits and businesses to support food relief initiatives, family empowerment programs, and resource shipments to Africa. Every mission, every partnership, every outreach effort carries the same goal: to change the trajectory of lives for generations to come.
Her Thoughts on Becoming the First Honorary Queen:
When asked about what it means to be the first Honorary Ms. Corporate America Georgia Queen, Dr. Crenshaw humbly reflected:

“It is truly an honor to stand as a symbol of legacy, purpose, and perseverance. To be recognized in this way reaffirms that a life of service, leadership, and faith leaves a trail others can follow. I am humbled beyond words and give God all the glory. My heart is full because this honor is not just about me — it’s about every woman who dared to rise, every family we’ve impacted, every soul we’ve touched. This is a shared crown.”
Her acceptance of the crown not only sets the bar for those who will follow but also lays the foundation for what Ms. Corporate America Georgia represents: a fusion of purpose-driven leadership, community transformation, and Kingdom assignment.
A Woman of Substance and Spirit:
Dr. Crenshaw’s life is the embodiment of servant leadership. Her God-given wisdom, paired with her warm, relatable communication style, allows her to reach hearts from boardrooms to pulpits, from city streets to global platforms. She is not only a leader but a builder of leaders, a mentor to women, a catalyst for families, and a light in every room she enters.
In addition to her impressive resume, Dr. Crenshaw is the author of seven life-empowering books and three gospel CDs, further extending her ministry through written word and song. Each work is a testament to her calling to heal, inspire, and equip others to walk boldly into their divine destinies.
At the heart of all her endeavors is family. Dr. Crenshaw has been married to her life partner, Bishop John Crenshaw, for 49 years. Together, they have raised three talented children — Shakena, Micah, and Jasmyn — and now enjoy the beautiful legacy of five grandchildren. Her family stands as a living testimony to her faith, strength, and the generational impact of unwavering commitment.
