LADY A.T.L.

Walking Alongside Atlanta's Giants

Dr. Sunshine Lewis has walked the same streets with Atlanta's Giants — from the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his family members, the late Rev. Hosea Williams, his daughter Liz Omilami & her husband TV Actor Mr. O, Civil Rights Leader Dr. C. T. Vivian, National SCLC President(s) Dr. Charles Steele & the late Rev. Dr. Howard Creecy Jr., DeKalb County NAACP President John Eaves, WAOK Radio Talk Show Host Derrick Boazman, the late Senator Arthur Langford, and UYAC President Michael Langford Sr.

She has cultivated acquaintances with High Ranking State Officials including FBI & GBI Agents, all levels of Law Enforcement, Fulton County Sheriff Patrick LaBat, State & Highway Patrol Director Myron Freeman, former Sheriffs Richard Lankford, Ted Jackson, Jackie Barrett, Beverly Harvard, former Atlanta Police Chief Elgin Bell, the majority of the City of Atlanta Council Presidents, Council Members Michael Bond, Commissioner Andrea Boone, and the County Fire & Rescue Teams.

Dr. Sunshine has worked alongside all of them in the State Capitol, Atlanta City Hall, Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb Counties, and throughout all entities of Government — from the 1st Black Mayor the late Mayor Maynard H. Jackson, Ambassador Andrew Young, Georgia’s Governors, Lieutenant Governor Mark Taylor, State Senators Donzella James, the late Senator Vincent Fort, and State Representatives Able Mable Thomas and Doug Dean.

Former Mayor(s) William “Bill” Campbell, Shirley Franklin, Kasim Reed, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and present 2026 Mayor Andre Dickens, as well as Fulton County leaders including former District Attorney Paul Howard and 2026 District Attorney Fani Willis, Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts, former Chairman John Eaves, the late Commissioner Reginald Eaves, and the 1st Black Atlanta Police Chief the late George Napper Sr.

Just like her Father, the late Civil Rights Icon & Community Enforcer “Mr. John H. ‘Big Cowboy Hat’ Lewis Sr.” — also known as “Atlanta’s Hellraiser for the People’s Rights!” Her beautiful loving Mother, the late Thelma O. Culpepper Jenkins Lewis, instilled the Spirit & Love of Jesus in each of their children. And her only blood brother, Archbishop John — “Atlanta’s Oldest Living Consecrated Archbishop” — was instrumental in stressing to her God’s Holy Word.

Sunshine was born a Fighter for the People — a self-proclaimed Judge, Legal Advisor, Life Coach, Nursing Professional, Mortuary Queen, Gospel & R&B Public Relations Consultant, Events Planner, Lifetime Community Activist, and Victim & Child Advocate.

Born to Shine

Sunshine has spread her Rays of sunlight to everyone she has met for decades. Born with a Veil over her Face, her parents — the late John H. Lewis Sr. and the late Thelma Lewis — knew she would bring Joy to the World.

Sunshine is the loving sister of Atlanta's oldest Archbishop John H. Lewis III, Apostle Collette L. Gunby, Pastor Nawanna L. Miller (George), Veronica L. Long, and Aretha Rosser.

A Life of Tireless Service

Sunshine has spent her life fighting for the Rights of People as a Lifelong Victim Advocate, Community Activist & Children's Whisperer. She has treaded through the muddy waters rescuing drowning souls, lifting the spirits of single parents, tunneling through the highways and the byways — feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and putting smiles on downtrodden hearts.

Sunshine has held the hearts of grieving mothers and fathers in the palm of her hands, coming to their aid to help give children a decent burial — young adults and the less fortunate alike. She is the CEO & Visionary of Grace & Mercy Concierge Bereavement Services LLC — the 1st Mobile Funeral Service & Support Network known in the USA — arranging Homegoing Celebrations of Life from the moment of a loved one's transitioning through every aspect of planning the entire Funeral Service via mobile, to counseling through referral services: a single point of coordination for transition, grief, burial & aftercare services.

Distinguished Government Career

A Government Retiree with 43 years of proud service, Dr. Lewis has worked for numerous City of Atlanta Mayors — from Mayor Maynard Jackson to Mayor Andrew Young to Mayor Bill Campbell — as the Mobile Outreach Resource Center Coordinator for the entire City of Atlanta and the Fulton County District Attorney's Office, where she ran the 1st Mobile Outreach Crisis Command Unit, responding daily to literally thousands of victims and their families of Homicide, Aggravated Assault, Armed Robbery, Battery, Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, and Child Molestation.

Sunshine was ecstatic when chosen to serve as a participant in a National Security Crisis Intervention Conference with leaders from Japan and White House Homeland Security — notably the only minority and the only female handpicked by former Lieutenant Governor Mark Taylor to participate. Some 15 or more dignitaries later came to Atlanta to meet with her and other notables in National Government.

She is also the founder of Queen Diva Sunni's Productions & Artist Management LLC, managing some 10 artists — including 16-year-old Brandon Gray, "Harlem's Showtime at the Apollo" 4x Winner at the tender age of 13.
