Emefa Butler is leaving a legacy.

She wants to be remembered as someone who worked her hardest to help her community. Butler also is a big fan of choices. To her, the act of choosing determines someone’s life trajectory. And most of the time, good choices lead to a good trajectory. She began with that philosophy when she founded CHOICE in her hometown of Uniontown, and now she lives by the motto.

“I was entrusted with the acronym CHOICE, which stands for Choosing to Help Others in the Community Excel,” Butler said. “I was born and raised in Uniontown. I moved to Birmingham to raise my son, and as I volunteered there realized that we didn’t have any of the same resources back home. It’s capital or other resources that helps build a community.”
