Leta Brooks/Status Home Design

Hey everyone! Thanks for joining me here at “Status Life with Leta“.

I’m Leta and I’m the a mother of two amazing minis, soon to be a stepmother of two others, a vendor boutique owner, interior designer, blogger, and podcaster. That’s all on paper (well more on the computer nowadays). What I’m passionate about is helping people create spaces they love, traveling the world, and encouraging others to live their best life. I guess I should have started by saying I love God, religion, and spirituality. I call myself a seeker and I can’t get enough knowledge about the world. I would give anyone the shirt off my back, but I’ll also be the first to set anyone straight. It’s a quality that can rub many the wrong way. I say what I mean and I wear my emotions for all to see. I don’t apologize for it. That’s all me and also, why I’m here. I want to motivate and encourage others to live their best life. “Status Life with Leta” is the place for all of us to share stories, get inspiration, and find purpose in life. You can ask me questions about anything. I may not be an expert on everything, but I’m here to help and willing to try. My journey hasn’t always been easy, but through faith and perseverance, I continue to design my life. Stay here with me and let’s continue to #designalifeyoulove.

Tracie Cason/Gwinnett Superior Court Judge

Tracie Cason serves as a Superior Court Judge in Gwinnett County presiding over Division 2. Judge Cason handles felony criminal cases, domestic and family law cases, and civil disputes. She was elected in 2018 in a contested county-wide election.

Judge Cason is committed to providing fair and impartial justice to all who appear before her. She wants citizens to know that they will always be heard in her courtroom. Before being elected to the Gwinnett County Superior Court, Tracie was a career prosecutor with the Gwinnett District Attorney’s Office.

Judge Cason’s judicial philosophy is based on keeping our community safe for everyone, especially the most vulnerable, and ensuring everyone is heard when it’s their day in court. Victims have rights, and so do the accused, and everyone’s rights must be protected and balanced to achieve justice for all. She also looks at root causes and how to prevent repeat offenses. She believes that accountability programs can help many non-violent offenders more than simple punishment, and preventing repeat offenses keeps everyone safer.

Tracie and her husband David have been married 14 years, and live with their dogs, Munson, Dooley, Erk, and Emma. She is a proud graduate of the University of Georgia and Baylor University School of Law and hopes to return to Athens for most Saturdays this fall.

Laura Ballance/Hudgens Center for Art & Learning

Laura Ballance, who has grown a reputation for creative thinking, development and innovation within the arts community, was named Executive Director of the Hudgens Center for Art and Learning in Duluth, GA in April 2020. An Atlanta native, Laura attended the Galloway School and graduated from Georgia State University. She launched her career in arts management more than twenty years ago, coordinating the community education programs at Atlanta College of Art on the campus of the Woodruff Arts Center. By 2005, Laura had transitioned to Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, launching SCAD’s first continuing education program, which later expanded to SCAD’s Savannah location. She also directed SCAD Atlanta’s summer art camps, pre-college programs, art educator conferences, and other non-degree programming initiatives for the college. Additionally, Laura was responsible for coordinating The College Board’s Advanced Placement curriculum training sessions for high school educators of studio art and art history.

She planned the 2009 National Arts Honors Society, a multi-day conference, exhibition and awards ceremony for more than 400 students and their families. In 2010, she received the Distinguished Service Award from the Georgia Art Education Association. In her final five years with SCAD, Laura served as assistant director for enrollment events and programs, and had oversight of a variety of student and community engagement opportunities.

In 2017, after losing her younger sister to ALS, Laura went to work with the Muscular Dystrophy Association in Atlanta. As a development specialist with MDA, she was responsible for the organization’s signature Night of Hope Gala that raised approximately $1 million annually for ALS clinical trials, research and patient care. She also managed the MDA Muscle Walk, an annual fundraising event for which she drove an increase in sponsorships of more than 50 percent in her first year. During her tenure with MDA, Laura created new programs to engage the community and raise awareness for neuromuscular diseases, like ALS.

Laura remains active with the MDA and now serves on the Night of Hope Gala planning committee. She is also a member of the advisory council for Gwinnett County’s new School of the Arts, which opened its doors in August 2021.
