Every year OneLegacy host the Inspire Awards honoring stories about organ and tissue donations. Television shows, movies and documentaries receive an inspire award for inspiring change through entertainment.
OneLegacy foundation and Ava’s Heart came together for an unforgettable night honoring story tellers, organ donors and transplant recipients. The star studded event featured a red carpet, four course meal and live entertainment.
One talent in particular who came to be inspired was the talented teen actress, Yelani Sinclair. Growing up in the entertainment industry, Yelani always had a passion for acting. Featuring on Telemundo at just five years old, Yelani was interviewed about police brutality and wanting change within the community. At age ten years old, Yelani featured in a pilot for “Juwanna Mann Two with Vivica Fox and Miguel Nunez Jr.
Focusing on intertwining acting with her community and humanitarian work, Yelani wants to continue to inspire and help create a better change in the world.
Ava’s Heart is a non-profit that gives critically needed assistance to organ transplant patients who are unable to afford it. They focus on providing doctor – mandated pre and post operative housing for patients who must travel away from their home to receive transplant – related care.
