Jenessa Fillipi is a devoted wife of over 20 years, a proud mother of four, and a visionary leader driven by faith and purpose. With a deep commitment to family and community, she spent 15 years as an elementary school counselor before answering a divinely inspired call to create lasting change. In 2017, she and her husband founded Down Home, a nonprofit dedicated to helping families emerging from homelessness find stability and hope. What began as a single act of service has grown into a powerful movement of immeasurable transformation. Serving as the Executive Director of Down Home, Jenessa continues to lead with passion and conviction. Named the 2024 American Mothers Inc.® National Mother of the Year®, she is a dynamic storyteller who engages, equips, and activates individuals to embrace their own journeys, step boldly into their calling, and make a meaningful impact in the world.
